“If you could pick up a dance piece, turn it inside out and look at the label, the words ‘Made at Sadler’s Wells’ would be a guarantee of quality. Since 2005, the north London theater has been a hotbed of dance creativity, commissioning and supporting some of the world’s finest choreographers to make work” (The Scotsman).
