Details

Having taken her place in history as one of the great American choreographers, Twyla Tharp has brought together a group of outstanding dancers to perform pieces overflowing with highly complex movement and exceptional technique. Tharp has formed a new company following a series of solo projects and high profile commissions. This programme will be chosen from works that reflect the versatility of this legendary choreographer. Surfer at the River Styx (2000) is based loosely on Euripides’ The Bacchae, and is a collaboration with percussionist and composer Donald Knaack, featuring music created on recycled materials such as pots and pans. Sinatra Suite is a 1984 piece created for Baryshnikov, with ballroom dancing set to Sinatra classics such as Strangers in the Night and My Way. And Westerly Round, created in 2001, is a witty, playful work set to music by contemporary composer and violin maestro Mark O’Connor], and fuses elegant classical ballet with the spirit of American folk dance.
