Additionally, Bruce has choreographed for operas and musicals including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1972), Jeeves (1975), and Mutiny (1985).
He has since worked on growing the company from seventeen to twenty-five dancers to be trained as an ensemble that can link contemporary dance and ballet.
Wings (1971) deals with themes of human conflict and isolation, and for those who die as cattle (1972) addresses the horrors of war.
Ghost Dances (1981) as well as Silence Is the End of Our Song (1983, for the Royal Danish Ballet) are about dictatorship in South America, and convey a universal message concerning the inhumanity of totalitarian regimes.
He has also created works with comedic content such as Night with Waning Moon (1979), in which he uses stock characters from Commedia dell'arte.
