NUDO Dance ‘Criollo’

Like a grandmother’s warm embrace or a fight between two lovers, Criollo follows the deep and passionate exchange between dance and music across South America and the Caribbean. A love story, a battle, a party, a spotlight on moments of human and artistic connection that give birth to new creative expressions, Criollo is a true celebration of cultural exchange, mixed heritage and art. 

This new work from NUDO is a multi-artform and multi-sensory adventure featuring original arrangements from live musicians and beatmakers, alongside a cast of 30 dancers. Against a backdrop of immersive visuals, these artists are brought to life by avant-garde costumes paying homage to cultural roots and contemporary pop culture. The show also features dancers from Paradox Studios. 

Artistic Director & Choreographer: Yasim Coronado Veranes
Creative Producer: Erika Jayne Goldsmith
Music Production: Nelson Mansilla
Costume Design: Suzi Coronado Veranes

Presented in partnership with the Thomas Dixon Centre
