Details

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. Songs of a Wayfayer - created by Kim Brandstrup is an evocative work for seven dancers which explores the complex emotions associated with unrequited love. It is danced to Mahler's achingly beautiful song-cycle of the same title, which is performed live. Five Brahms 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 Fredrick Ashton. A Tragedy of Fashion - In 1926 Rambert's Founding Choreographer, Sir Frederick Ashton, choreographed A Tragedy of Fashion. No record of the choreography exists so, inspired by a few precious photos, Ian Spink reinterprets the work of our time. Elsa Canasta - Created by Javier De Frutos, Elsa Canasta is a genuine crowd-pleaser. Love, in all its forms, is explored here and sexual chemistry bursts out of this vibrant and witty interpretation of Cole Porter's music and lyrics. (Not suitable for children).
