Rambert Dance Company - Swamp/A Steel Garden/Constant Speed

Rambert Dance Company

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.
Company Rambert Dance Company

Production:: Swamp/A Steel Garden/Constant Speed (T451780777)

Modern dance icon Michael Clark created Swamp for Rambert in 1986, and this revival has received great critical acclaim, including the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production. According to many observers, Swamp remains one of Clark’s choreographic highlights. Clark’s movement clearly shows the influence of his classical background, but this only acts as a foundation for his originality and inventiveness. Christopher Bruce CBE returns to Rambert for the first time since his retirement as Artistic Director in November 2002. A Steel Garden brings together Bruce and composer David C. Heath, whose composition Dawn of a New Age was the starting point for the collaboration, and which was extended and developed as the dance evolved. Bruce’s choreographic career began with Rambert in 1969 and he has gone on to become one of Britain’s most important and well-known choreographers. Constant Speed, Baldwin’s first choreographic work as Artistic Director for Rambert, has been widely acclaimed for its novel and charming approach to physics. Commissioned by the Institute of Physics, Constant Speed has been inspired by three of Einstein’s key 1905 theories. The result is 19 of Rambert’s dancers whizzing around the stage like hyperactive molecules, in a joyous and athletic frenzy of movement. Performed to sparkling waltzes by Franz Lehár, this ingenious and witty piece succeeds in making physics intriguing and fun.
