About Luna

Five female choreographers from around the world take inspiration from the pioneering women of Birmingham. Each tells a story tackling universal themes through sweeping dramatic movement and intense, intimate moments of darkness and light.

Join BRB on this journey to the moon and back, told with love, compassion and creativity, and grounded in real life experience.

The creation of Luna is possible thanks to a five-year package of support of the Oak Foundation.

Luna has also received grants from: The Wood & Steven Charitable Trust, The John S Cohen Foundation. The Oakley Charitable Trust and the RPS Drummond Lockyer Fund for Dance.

Luna is the final part of Carlos Acosta’s Birmingham trilogy (City of a Thousand Trades, Black Sabbath).

Luna is a celebration of womanhood and as such explores both the joys and challenges. These challenges may elicit strong emotions and if any part makes you feel uncomfortable you are welcome to step out of the auditorium. Find out more: brb.org.uk/WhatToExpect
