Details

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. Eternal Light is one of Rambert Dance Company's most ambitious collaborations in recent years, a powerfully beautiful and life-affirming celebration set to an elegiac and evocative score. A Tribute to Norman Morrice - Two short excerpts from works by Rambert dancer/choreographers Mikaela Polley and Alexander Whitley, performed as a tribute to the late Norman Morrice, Rambert's former Artistic Director, and set to music by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Karen Khachaturian. Infinity - Australian choreographer Garry Stewart's high energy Infinity explores the dramatic and often brutal passage towards life's inevitable end. Intuitive and emotional, the work pits the dancers against each other in an avalanche of striking physical imager, and is set to an eclectic and other-worldly new musical score. Swansong - Christopher Bruce's classic and ever popular Swansong makes a triumphant return to the Company's repertoire. As relevant and as topical today as when it was first created in 1987, Swansong's theme of torture and interrogation for three dancers is set to move and inspire a whole new generation of audiences.
