I’m on the outside
I’m on the outside looking in
Watching you falter
Watching you wait
For your life to begin

So let some daylight get in
Check for signs of life
There's dust on everything
I say your name
It sounds different, now you're gone
Well, this life has changed and shaped us all
And this life has changed forevermore

YY LONDONBehind the Scenes. The making of a film on the new and major headquarters building in London’s Canary Wharf, YY London. Choreographed by Benoit Swan Pouffer and danced by Rambert. It was filmed over two days whilst the building is under construction and is due to be completed in 2023.

It is being developed by Oaktree Capital and Quadrant Estates and designed by architects Buckley Gray Yeoman. |

"One of the most prominent characters in terms of stature and energy was Simone Damberg Würtz’s portrayal of Polly.
You instantly recognised Helen McCrory’s infamous character with Simone radiating confidence, sass and also a caring undertone." Theatre Scotland "Simone Damberg Würtz’s performance as Polly is equally scene-stealing as she commands the stage with power woven with grace and beauty to match: it is hard to look anywhere else on a stage constantly full of wonderful performances."
The Reviews Hub "Polly Gray (played by Simone Damberg Würtz) and Tommy Shelby (played by Guillaume Queau) were particularly captivating.
Simone accurately conveyed the powerful and confident nature of Polly Gray through her demeanour and the way she danced. Similarly, Guillaume who played Tommy captured his confidence but also his vulnerability. It was difficult not to see Guillaume as Cillian Murphy and Simone as Helen McCrory and I had to remind myself it was in fact the extremely talented Rambert Dance company." Manchester Theatres "Simone Damberg Würtz’s Polly is both commanding and secondary, as in the show. At one point, she and Ada revive Tommy in a somewhat sacrificial moment: sure, he’s in charge, but he’s put there because of some greater scheming effected by Polly."

"Simone Damberg Würtz absolutely dominates as matriarch Polly."
Advertiser & Times "Simone Damberg Würtz took on the McCrory role of the matriarch, Polly, with significant aplomb in a striking outfit with blue suede laced-up boots and a dagger strapped to her thigh (also doubling up as a doomed police inspector, shot dead by Grace)"
Graham Watts for Bachtrack |
"I couldn’t keep my eyes off Simone Damberg Würtz who played Polly.
Simone embodied the character as Polly so perfectly, giving attitude as the matriarch of the Shelby family." Eyes on Stage "Simone Damberg Würtz takes on the role of Aunt Polly with more than a passing resemblance to Helen McCrory (the original Polly, who sadly died in 2021). The matriarch of the family, she loves and protects her boys fiercely, but has her own demons to battle. Being able to portray these character traits through dance alone is a real gift and makes for an absorbing watch."
On Magazine |
|
"Simone Damberg Würtz is a standout as Polly,
the powerful Shelby family matriarch" Broadway World "The matriarch of the family, Polly played by
Simone Damberg Würtz shows incredible strength in her performance and you can certainly tell that she is head of the family" West End Best Friend "Simone Damberg Würtz energises the action as Tommy's glamorous aunt Polly"
The Times "Simone Damberg Würtz is a picture as she struts around"
Seeing Dance 
|
"These are not carbon copies of the television characters – although Simone Damberg Würtz is an appropriately fearsome Aunt Polly"
The Guardian "Conor Kerrigan’s Arthur, Simone Damberg Würtz’s Polly and Adél Bálint’s Ada were magnificent"
Birmingham World "We encounter members of his tight-knit family en route – including no-nonsense, machine gun-toting Polly, Simone Damberg Würtz"

A response to “Hedgehog” by Simone Damberg Würtz.
“Hedgehog” is a micro-piece for nine isolated musicians by Yshani Perinpanayagam @yshani
Yshani sent each player an individual part with a click track, and asked them to video themselves playing it on their phone. And provided no further clues as to what it was all about...
When I saw Yshani’s Hedgehog on Twitter I immediately loved it & everything about it.
And I thought we could do this with dancers as well!
So I followed in her footsteps, and passed on the players individual tracks to nine isolated dancers around the world.
Like Yshani I provided no further clues as to what it was all about...
A great big thank you to all involved Oihana Vesga, Sharia Johnson, Jack Thomson, Anna Würtz Thomsen, Monique Jonas,
Ihssan De-Banya, Nicol Edmonds, Jonathan Savage & Stephen Quildan
