Dogheart

UK Premiere. Dogheart is a choreographed poem which balances speaking, dancing and animated drawings in the delicate re-telling of a story, the outlines of which we only glimpse through a storm of detail. Set to music by Howard Skempton, the piece is a first collaboration between the choreographer Jonathan Burrows and the performer Chrysa Parkinson, known to London audiences through her work with Deborah Hay. Dogheart is the third in a series of one to one collaborations initiated by Burrows, including those with composer Matteo Fargion. The most recent of these are Cheap Lecture and The Cow Piece, also presented as part of Dance Umbrella 2010. Dance Umbrella - Robert Howard Dance Theatre
