Eliot Smith Dance makes a much-anticipated return to Newbiggin Maritime Centre with a bold reimagining of Eliot Smith’s POPPY — a powerful reflection on war, love, and sacrifice.Originally premiered in 2018, POPPY has been newly envisioned for the spring 2026 season. Featuring a new original score by multi-award winning composer Adam Johnson and performed by five exceptional dancers, this evocative piece draws on the enduring symbolism of the poppy flower of John McCrae.
