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. Sounding - Very quiet and sober. Couples lean against each other or slither to the floor. The movement reflects the music; it's as if the dancers actually were the sounds created by the resonant instruments. This illusion - seeing the music as tangible activity - is framed by Peter Mumford's beautiful fretwork of light. Kinetic energy passes from one dancer to another. The mood and pace shifts constantly. Grinning in Your Face - A series of vignets of varying moods incorporating the hallmarks of Bruce's choreography, combining modern ballet and folk dance.
