Rota - T01227767674'Rota is the work with which Companhia de Dance Deborah Colker made its 1999 London debut. The two-act dance spectacular has been a hit wherever it's played world-wide. In the first act an engaging ensemble of dancers (including Colker herself) work, fight, play, sleep and scratch their way through a breezy blend of classically pitched movement wittily overlaid with everyday gestures.Behaving like wiry, wired adolescents on a merry spree, this extrovert community breathes fresh kinetic air into the mechanics of daily existence. and kaleidoscopically pretty, was inspired by the Colker family's unforgettable holiday in Disney World. The dancers come across like da Vinci-style astronauts who might've run off to join some celestial-infernal circus. The dominant image is a 22-fooot wheel, framed by ladders and as reminiscent of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey as a fairground amusement. While Colker can hardly claim to have invented the wheel, she amply demonstrates just how inventive she can be with one. Her sexy, gravity-defying troupe scramble and spin round the gigantic object with supple, seductive, ease. By the time the performance reaches its giddy finale the dancers having transformed themselves from happy, muscular hamsters into human carousel cars and the audience is delirious with delight. It's all set to a channel-surfing soundtrack in which Mozart rubs shoulders with The Chemical Brothers and Strauss is the flipside of Tangerine Dream. Rota, in short, could send you to visual and aural heaven.Choreographer Deborah Colker. | |

Casa - T0582999549In Casa, Colker’s trademark fusion of high energy and cheeky modern dance is perfectly employed to explore the goings on inside a constantly morphing multi-level house, where walls become floors and floors become ceilings. Everyday routines and gestures are transformed into vibrantly contemporary dance and recognisably classical steps are revved up and subverted by colloqiual gesture. The unique set is constantly used to challenge ideas of space and gravity, of what can and can’t be done. And with the exhilarating expertise and split-second timing of [Companhia de Danca Deborah Colker], the world of ’can’t’ is rapidly diminishing! Running time 60 mins with no interval.Choreographer Deborah Colker. | |
