Celebrating the joy and beauty of dance <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After a difficult year the\u00a0Global Gala<\/em>\u00a0is set to celebrate the joy\u00a0and beauty\u00a0of dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will also raise funds\u00a0to support the\u00a0future\u00a0full\u00a0reopening\u00a0of\u00a0Sadler’s Wells, following the longest period of closure in its\u00a0300-year history.\u00a0The Gala will reflect on this\u00a0extraordinary year and speak to why it’s especially important to keep celebrating and promoting dance at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising funds to reopen theatres <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to support from\u00a0Italian fashion house\u00a0Bottega Veneta, the\u00a0hour-long programme\u00a0is free to\u00a0access<\/strong>. Enjoy online\u00a0via\u00a0Sadler\u2019s Wells\u00a0YouTube\u00a0channel,\u00a0where there will also be opportunities for audiences to donate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All funds raised through the\u00a0event\u00a0will be matched and will contribute to the\u00a0full\u00a0reopening of our theatres and the return of artists and audiences to our spaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s on offer?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bottega Veneta <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Sadler\u2019s Wells Global Gala<\/em>\u00a0is made possible with support from headline\u00a0partner, Bottega Veneta.\u00a0Throughout 2020,\u00a0Sadler\u2019s Wells\u00a0and Bottega Veneta\u00a0have\u00a0cemented their\u00a0partnership\u00a0to sustain creativity in its purest expression. The two creative\u00a0organisations have\u00a0continued to collaborate and find ways to support one another through these unprecedented times.\u00a0
\u00a0
Alistair Spalding, Artistic Director and Chief Executive\u00a0of Sadler\u2019s Wells said:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 has been a challenging year to say the least. In normal circumstances, Sadler’s Wells welcomes over half a million people to our spaces each year…\u00a0For\u00a0most\u00a0of 2020, that hasn’t been possible.\u00a0<\/p>

Nonetheless, we remain committed to our mission and continue to strive to make and share dance that inspires us all in new and innovative ways.\u00a0We\u00a0wanted to find a moment to come together to celebrate the good things that have been able to happen this year… while at the same time, generating support that will help Sadler’s Wells fully reopen in 2021. At this time, I think it’s more important than ever that we find ways to celebrate and enjoy dance. We hope that many of you will join us on the 5\u00a0December to do just that.\u2019<\/p>
