Company Rambert Dance Company

Production:: Unrest/Sounding/Symphony of Psalms/Grinning in Your Face (T1023443193)

Urest - A short intimate work for 6 dancers, that is both beautiful and unsettling, it has been described as 'troubled spirits bound together in private pain'. The choreography captures the agitated music and propels the dancers into a state of 'unrest'. A work of distressed beauty. Sounding - Very quiet and sober. Couples lean against each other or slither to the floor. The movement reflects the music; it's as if the dancers actually were the sounds created by the resonant instruments. This illusion - seeing the music as tangible activity - is framed by Peter Mumford's beautiful fretwork of light. Kinetic energy passes from one dancer to another. The mood and pace shifts constantly. Symphony of Psalms - Monumental score and performance. Large-scale performance with the 16 dancers on stage the entire time. The dancers express suffering, hope, regret and tenderness and sweep through graceful ensembles and passionate duets. It combines yearning arabesques and bold leaps with flexed limbs and strong use of torso. Grinning in Your Face - A series of vignets of varying moods incorporating the hallmarks of Bruce's choreography, combining modern ballet and folk dance.
