Front Line/Tiger Dancing
Front Line - Oguike's signature piece, the searing and poignant
Front Line unfolds against the vivid setting of Shostakovich's 9th Quartet, played live by the Pavao Quartet. This season offers the last chance to witness this urgent and muscular sextet.
Tiger Dancing - Inspired by Blake's poem The Tyger, the plucked strings and springy lines of Steve Martland's score are reflected by the dancers' sinuous and feline movements in
Tiger Dancing.
