Two physically thrilling dance works to set your pulse racing 

National Dance Company Wales will tour its new double bill, Pulse, to 10 venues in Wales and England from March to May 2023. 

Marcos Morau (creator of NDCWales’ iconic Tundra) returns with the haunting, sumptuous and razor-sharp Waltz, while Sarah Golding & Yukiko Masui (SAY) will make the whole room want to get up and move with Say Something, a visual and sonic feast of movement and beatboxing.   
 
In Waltz by Marcos Morau, a haunting waltz plays in the distance. From the ashes of time a tangle of shining creatures emerges to inhabit a new world. In the chaos and turbulence their only hope is to remain united. If you enjoyed the electrifying choreographic world of Tundra in 2017, this is another chance to experience work by trailblazing Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau.  
 
“Waltz is full of Marcos' trademark razor-sharp physicality. It is full of sumptuous design, the dancers are going to be head to toe covered in sequins, it's mysterious, it's exhilarating, it's a really powerful experience for an audience that takes them through some of the greatest musical Waltzes in history.” 
Matthew Robinson, NDCWales Artistic Director 

Say Something by Sarah Golding & Yukiko Masui (SAY) explores what it means to 'represent', and the ever-growing expectation to use our voice. Working with beatboxers MC Zani and Dean Yhnell, this new work is a relentlessly physical, visual and sonic feast. SAY have a passion for music that makes them want to move. Say Something will make the whole room want to get up and groove.  
 
“Sarah and Yukiko are going to be collaborating with two beatboxers including Dean Yhnell who is also the lead artist on the co-creation project we're involved in, in the town of Penrhys in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Audiences can expect to see the NDCWales dancers flying across the stage in full bodied powerful movement. Sarah and Yukiko are passionate about the music that moves them and I think audiences can expect to be moved.” 
Matthew Robinson, NDCWales Artistic Director 
 
Also on tour alongside Pulse in selected venues is Discover Dance, a fun and relaxed performance for schools and families. Featuring a performance of Ed Myhill’s Why Are People Clapping!? and the chance to ask questions and learn some moves from the show. 
 
Pulse and Discover Dance is part of NOW, National Dance Company Wales’ 22/23 season.
