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. Love, desire and betrayal are the ingredients of the shocking true story which inspired a masterpiece by Picasso. Now Rambert springs the painting from the canvas to the stage, bringing to life Picasso's famous Cubist imagery and the themes of ecstasy and doom that fill his work. Choreographed by Didy Veldman, with orchestral music by leading Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin, The 3 Dancers is part of a triple bill of dance for Newcastle. The Strange Charm of Mother Nature, created by Rambert's Artistic Director Mark Baldwin, is inspired by the science of the cosmos. To music including Stravinsky and JS Bach, dancers fizz with the energy of the miniscule building blocks that created life, the universe and everything. The programme is completed by Frames, an inventive and visually arresting piece by British dance's hottest property, Alexander Whitley. 12 performers skilfully manipulate 70 interlocking metal bars, forming shapes, structures and spaces which, quite literally, frame their dancing in a different light.
