Information for Verve - Triple Bill at Harrogate Theatre, Harrogate (Dance or ballet). Verve - the touring group from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds showing the next generation of contemporary dance. VERVE Artistic Director Matteo Marfoglia's debut creation for the company 'A Field of Beauty' is a visually stunning and virtuosic work celebrating individuality, uniqueness and freedom of expression. Los Angeles-born, Berlin-based choreographer Joy Alpuerto Ritter has crafted a character-driven work exploring the intricate dynamics of family relationships, questioning what lies beneath the surface of a family portrait. Rounding off the triple bill, acclaimed French collective (LA)HORDE present a restaging of People used to die - originally created for the Montreal School of Contemporary Dance in 2014. Taking inspiration from the European movement 'Jumpstyle', the work is an explosive and unrelenting test of physical endurance for the dancers.
