Britain's biggest and most exciting touring dance company who often tour two programmes at a time. Dancing to a mixture of musical styles they provide enormously watchable evenings.
Comedy of Change/Carnival of the Animals/New Work
The Company’s twenty-two dancers are among the finest and most versatile in the world and, with uplifting live music superbly enhancing the Rambert experience, this autumn’s programme is more thrilling and diverse than ever before. After the universal successes of Constant Speed (2005) and Eternal Light (2008), Artistic Director Mark Baldwin creates a brand new work that will tantalise the senses and stimulate the mind. Commemorating Charles Darwin year, Comedy of Change is set to a specially-commissioned score by renowned British composer Julian Anderson and designed by one of the leading lights of Paris’ contemporary art scene, Kader Attia. It skilfully blends dance and science into a stunning, witty and striking performance. Two further and equally breathtaking works include Siobhan Davies’ delightful five star Carnival of the Animals and a new piece by Nigerian/Welsh choreographer Henri Oguike, described by The Daily Telegraph as 'one of Britain’s juiciest young talents'.
