Congratulations to Javier who has been making an impact on the UK dance scene for several years now. More recently he has emerged as a distinctive choreographer for a number of companies. His works rarely look alike and range from the unsettling to the emotionally charged and the visually beautiful. A number of dancers have told me that it is great to work with him, which always helps.

Many congratulations also to London Musici. With budget pressures making recorded sound a necessity for many smaller companies, Rambert provide live music whenever possible. The adaptable London Musici perform everything from pan pipes to Prokofiev and always to the highest standards.

A brief note from Sue Wyatt, Executive Director of Rambert Dance Company:

TIME OUT

Last Friday Rambert Music Director Paul Hoskins, Mark Baldwin and Mark Stevenson from our orchestra London Musici collected the Time Out award for Outstanding Achievement for music for dance.

Mark Baldwin's first programme and his vision for Rambert are really collecting the accolades this year. During the past few years we have never had so many awards in one year.
