ESD Presents Robert Cohan: Gala Performance

Join us for an evening of celebration as we honour the legacy of Sir Robert Cohan CBE.

This Gala Performance marks the grand finale of a week-long event at Dance City celebrating Cohan, widely regarded as the founding father of British contemporary dance. The evening will feature excerpts from Cohan's masterworks, performed by a dynamic mix of intergenerational dancers, including professional dancers from Eliot Smith Dance.


As part of the 100th anniversary celebration of Sir Robert Cohan in 2025, this event offers a unique opportunity to reflect on his profound impact on the dance world.

Ticket holders will also have exclusive access to an Open Forum Discussion following the performance.
