Christopher Wheeldon's Morphoses opens at Sadler's Wells

Christopher Wheeldon has risen from being a dancer with the New York City ballet to become one of the world's most respected classical choreographers.

Widely touted as "the saviour of classical ballet", the 34-year-old is on a mission to merge dance, music and art with his new company of "kick ass" dancers.

His new Anglo-American ballet company Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company will open at Sadler's Wells, in London on Wednesday.
