In Four by Four all three of DU\u2019s Artistic Directors \u2014 Val Bourne CBE, Betsy Gregory and Emma Gladstone \u2014 have invited an established artist from their time at the helm to nominate a \u2018choreographer of the future\u2019. We\u2019re delighted that Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Akram Khan, Stephen Petronio and Roc\u00edo Molina have agreed to take part.
