Land/Gaps, Lapse and Relapse/Grinning in Your Face

Land - Bruce's emotionally-charged Land was inspired by Arne Nordheim's Warsawa. Although the music was written in response to that city's suffering during World War II, Land is symbolic of the tragedies suffered by any people whose homeland has been invaded and ravaged by war. Gaps, Lapse and Relapse - is a vigorous cocktail of dynamic dance and street style created by the late Jeremy James - one of Britain's most individual choreographers. Quirky mechanised gestures, abstracted from everyday images, are a hallmark of the choreography. Grinning In Your Face - The inspiration for this new work has come from the folk and blues album Grinning In Your Face, by the brilliant acoustic guitarist, banjo player and vocalist, Martin Simpson. For Bruce, the music appears to paint pictures of rural America, particularly during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Running time 2 hours including 2 intervals.
