Van Cleef & Arpels's two week festival, 'Dance Reflections' has arrived in London.
Back in 1961, Claude Arpels, a descendant of one of the two families who founded the famous French jewelry house of Van Cleef & Arpels, was introduced to the choreographer and cofounder of the New York City Ballet, George Balanchine. While the Arpels dynasty had a long-standing appreciation for the art form—the maison even designed glittering brooches in the form of ballerinas back in the 1940s—it was this meeting that would solidify the relationship between the brand and the world of dance.
The performances are being held at a trio of London’s most venerable cultural institutions: the Royal Opera House, with its rich tradition of classical ballet; Sadler’s Wells, a historic theater in the city’s Islington neighborhood known for commissioning and platforming agenda-setting dance; and the Tate Modern, the modern-art colossus with a singularly progressive approach to programming and collecting dance pieces.
