Pond Way/Constant Speed/Bloom - T0662435196 Merce Cunningham is one of world’s most revered and enigmatic choreographers and Rambert is one of the few companies permitted to perform his work. Pond Way can be described as one of Cunningham's ‘nature studies’ where the movement evokes birds, animals or landscapes. It is a lyrical, contemplative and sensuous piece, with the movement, according to Cunningham, being reminiscent of the game of skimming stones over a pond, which he loved to play as a child. The production is further enriched with a backcloth from the visual artist Roy Lichtenstein and a soundscape by Brian Eno. Constant Speed, Baldwin’s first choreographic work as Artistic Director for Rambert, has been widely acclaimed for its novel and charming approach to physics. Commissioned by the Institute of Physics, Constant Speed has been inspired by three of Einstein’s key 1905 theories. The result is 19 of Rambert’s dancers whizzing around the stage like hyperactive molecules, in a joyous and athletic frenzy of movement. Performed to sparkling waltzes by Franz Lehár, this ingenious and witty piece succeeds in making physics intriguing and fun. Bloom - Drawing its inspiration from a variety of sources, ranging from 1970s romantic posters to contemporary gypsy music, Bloom explores the idea of creating that perfect romantic moment. Aletta's impressive theatre and film experience will play a large role in the cration of Bloom, using improvisation and character work to create movement and narrative for 16 of Rambert's dancers. Bloom is performed to music that includes tracks from the acclaimed Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haidouks, with disigns by [Simon Daw] and lighting design by [Charles Balfour].Choreographer Merce Cunningham (Pond Way).
