Russell Maliphant's language is one of form and dynamics - elegant, articulate and resonant. After choreographing last October's critically acclaimed PUSH, he now brings his full Company to Sadler's Wells, with a programme which includes two brand new works. Maliphant draws on his experience of Capoeira, Tai Chi and Yoga to produce a unique style of choreography. Focusing on the relationship between movement, light and music, his work is characterised by its fluidity and form. 2004 marked the tenth anniversary of collaboration between Maliphant and the pioneering lighting designer Michael Hulls; this new programme is a celebration of this outstanding creative partnership. Maliphant's new work, created for 5 dancers, takes his exploration of dynamics and tensions into new territory, married with Hull's brilliant lighting and an evocative and sculptural soundscape by Mukul. The programme also includes a new male solo and Push, Maliphant's duet with Sylvie Guillem which has now been reworked for his own dancers, with music by Andy Cowton.
