Bold design ideas and striking images define the distinctive atmospheres of the four pieces on this programme. William Forsythe's
In the middle, somewhere elevated opens the programme. This work takes the athleticism of classical ballet techniques as its starting point, and pushes dancers to the limits of their technical and physical ability. A rapid, complex and highly energetic work, this one-act ballet is set to the frenetic synthesised rhythms of Thom Willems. It was first danced by The Royal Ballet in 1992. - The Royal Ballet presented Nacho Duato's ballet
Ramanso as part of the Celebration of International Choreography in December 1999. Set to piano music by Enrique Granados,
Remanso is a witty athletic ballet for three male dancers. -
The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude was created for Forsythe's Frankfurt Ballet in 1996 and first performed by The Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House Opening Celebrations in December 1999. The ballet displays a whirlwind of movement as five dancers are put through their paces to the C Major Finale of Schubert's Ninth Symphony. - Nacho Duato created
Por Vos Muero in 1996, set to romantic poems and Spanish music of the 16th century, these aural cues heighten and choreography's beauty and passion. The profound emotions central to this work are further enhanced by Duato's own costume and set designs. There is a Schools Matinee performance of
Enduring Images on Thursday 14 March.
