Since he burst onto the scene in 1996, Henri Oguike has become a leading force in dance. Combining technical virtuosity with the immediacy of live music, his work has won numerous awards and given a creative blood transfusion to the world of contemporary dance. By turns thundering and gentle, visceral and flirtatious, the work of this dynamic young company. The evening opens with Little Red, a wild and explosive work for six women. Witchy in red velvet, they strut the stage in passionate dialogue with Vivaldi’s violin concerti. Rhythm is obsession in Green in Blue, the mood, high summer. Iain Ballamy’s playful composition, performed live on stage, possesses the dancers sending them into a flurry of charged elasticity.
