Rambert Dance Company - Visions Fugitives/PreSentient/Elsa Canasta

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. Visions Fugitives - Inspired by Prokoviev's score of the same title, Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen created this suite of dances that range from the sinister to the playful. The music, played live, comprises 15 miniatures, each lasting from 20 to 60 seconds. PreSentient- Winner of the 2002 Time Out Live Award for Outstanding Choreography, PreSentient is another physically audacious spectacle by one of Britain's hottest choreographers, Wayne McGregor. 12 dancers perform precision dance at breakneck speed to Steve Reich's kinetic Triple Quartet, played live by London Musici). Elsa Canasta is the second work to be created for Rambert by Javier De Frutos and is performed to music and songs by the ever-popular Cole Porter, including a rare score Porter wrote in 1923. With a cast of 14 dancers, the timeless ambiguity of Porter's compositions is the trigger for Javier's personal choreographic response.
