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. 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. Hurricane - A dramatic work for a solo dancer performed as a complex narrative that interprets the lyrics to Bob Dylan's song, Hurricane. Bruce employs the traditional device of a Commedia dell'arte figure to relate the story in the third person and adopts a comic-strip style, enabling the solo dancer to play a variety of roles, including a policemen and a waitress. Ghost Dances - is acknowledged as a masterpiece of contemporary dance. Performed to traditional South American music, the ballet is laced with an emotional power and lyrical beauty.
