Tiler Peck’s big night
Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends scored a strong 4‑star notice at Sadler’s Wells, billed as a celebratory evening of dance that brought company highlights and crowd‑pleasing choreography to central London . Reviewers flagged it as a feel‑good showcase — great if you’re into live performance energy and repertoire variety.
The programme assembled four distinct works (sadlerswells.com) — William Forsythe’s The Barre Project (Blake Works II), Tiler Peck’s Thousandth Orange, Alonzo King’s pas de deux Swift Arrow, and the finale Time Spell. (londontheatre1.com) The Barre Project was conceived by William Forsythe during the pandemic, set to music by James Blake and originally created via Zoom in 2021 for CLI Studios, with Tiler Peck among the starring artists. (sadlerswells-downloads.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com) Thousandth Orange is Peck’s own choreography set to a piano quartet by Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw, performed onstage with live musicians and featuring younger dancers India Bradley, Chun Wai Chan, Christopher Grant, Quinn Starner, Ryan Tomash and Kloe Walker. (sadlerswells.com) Swift Arrow is an intimate duet by Alonzo King danced by Tiler Peck alongside Roman Mejía, scored by jazz composer Jason Moran and reported to include live piano played onstage by Joel Wernhardt. (gramilano.com) Time Spell closed the evening as a New York City Center commission and a cross‑discipline collaboration with tap icon Michelle Dorrance and Emmy‑nominated choreographer Jillian Meyers, bringing tap, ballet and contemporary movement together. (sadlerswells.com) Performances at Sadler’s Wells were listed for 13–14 March 2026 on the venue’s billings (sadlerswells.com), with reviewers noting a packed‑house performance on 12 March during the press run. (gramilano.com) Roman Mejía, who dances Swift Arrow opposite Peck, is also described in some coverage as Peck’s husband, adding a personal throughline to the duet’s chemistry.
