Black & White – English National Ballet

On Wednesday I photographed English National Ballet's Black & White.

Black & White is a collection of five ballets. Resolution, choreographed by Wayne Eagling, started the show.

I particularly enjoyed the all Men Y Men, it was great to watch the men dancing - dynamic and masculine.
