We’re delighted to be returning to Guernsey this season, performing once again at the Princess Royal Centre for the Performing Arts. Touring to Guernsey is always a highlight for Ballet d’Jèrri — a chance to connect with new audiences, reunite with familiar faces, and celebrate the creative ties between our island communities. It is part of our ongoing commitment to sharing bold contemporary ballet across the Channel Islands and building a strong regional arts network with our sister islands.

Footsteps

Choreography by Garrett Smith
A poetic meditation on the fleeting intersections that shape our lives. Footsteps reflects on the brief but powerful collisions that brought Ballet d’Jèrri’s founding artists together—an ensemble formed across continents, caught in a shared moment of creation. Smith, known for his visceral, cinematic movement language, draws on his experience as a former dancer with Houston Ballet and Norwegian National Ballet to craft a piece that is both intimate and expansive.

Sand and Their Castles

Choreography by Tess Voelker
Witty, strange, and oddly tender—this BDJ favourite by Voelker captures the dizzying emotional logic of adolescence. Through a theatrical blend of movement, gesture, and absurdist charm, Sand and Their Castles invites us into a world where memory plays tricks and childhood slips away and re-emerges in unexpected forms. Voelker, a rising voice in contemporary dance and associate choreographer with the Paris Opera Ballet, crafts something at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
