PreSentient/Living Toys/Elsa Canasta
PreSentient- Winner of the 2002 Time Out Live Award for Outstanding Choreography,
PreSentient is another physically audacious spectacle by one of Britain's hottest choreographers, Wayne McGregor. 12 dancers perform precision dance at breakneck speed to Steve Reich's kinetic
Triple Quartet, played live by [London Musici).
Living ToysKarole Armitage's first work for Rambert,
Living Toys transports us into that precarious state where dreams and consciousness merge. Inspired by Thomas Ades's somewhat sinister and surreal score of the same title,
Living Toys is performed by all of Rambert's 22 dancers and accompanied by London Musici.
Elsa Canasta is the second work to be created for Rambert by Javier De Frutos and is performed to music and songs by the ever-popular Cole Porter, including a rare score Porter wrote in 1923. With a cast of 14 dancers, the timeless ambiguity of Porter's compositions is the trigger for Javier's personal choreographic response. November 24 at 14:30 - Family Matinee
