Pond Way/Bloom/Stand and Stare
Pond Way can be described as one of Merce Cunningham's 'nature studies'. It is a contemplative, often sensuous piece, with the movement being reminiscent of the game of skimming stones over a pond, which Cunningham loved to play as a child. The production is enriched with a backcloth from the artist Roy Lichtenstein and a soundscape by composer Brian Eno.
bloom by Aletta Collins, is performed to infectious Romanian gypsy rhythms and has characters crashing in and out of focus in a giddy world and chaotic encounters. Collins' work spans dance, theatre, opera and film and bloom is her first collaboration with Rambert.
L S Lowry - To mark the 30th anniversary of the death of British artist LS Lowry, former artistic director of Phoenix Dance Theatre, Darshan Singh Bhuller, creates a new work, taking his inspiration from Lowry's approach to his paintings and response to his surroundings.
