Rambert Dance Company - Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan/Irony of Fate/Dark Elegies/Swamp
Work:: Rambert Dance Company (S887)
Britain's biggest and most exciting touring dance company who often tour two programmes at a time. Dancing to a mixture of musical styles they provide enormously watchable evenings.
Production:: Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan/Irony of Fate/Dark Elegies/Swamp (T0607513643)
Five Brahmas Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan - Choreographed for Rambert in 1976, this beautiful solo for a female dancer has been revived to mark the centenary year of its creator, Sir Frederick Ashton.
Irony of Fate is a sublime duet for dancer and violinist. Virtuosity and passion come together, as the artists embark on a journey that takes them to the brink of exhaustion.
Dark Elegies initially struck a chord with those aware of civilian suffering in the Spanish Civil War, but its timeless and eloquent choreography has retained its significance, particularly to disasters involving groups of children. When it opened in Edinburgh in September 2004 it coincided with the breaking news of the school siege in Beslan, bringing a tragic relevance to the piece.
Swampis a modern dance at its most pure. Echoes of Clark's classical background are very evident there, but this only acts as a foundation for his originality and inventiveness.
