Perhaps in an attempt to bring warmer weather our way, Rambert Dance Company's Spring 2003 Tour gets underway on 12th February and continues through to the end of May.
We are delighted to be working with Rambert again and this this is where we will post all the latest news and newspaper coverage.
We also hope to get comments from dance fans around the country and would love to have your feedback. See the next posting for details of what you need to do.
Among the tour highlights are new commissions:
21 Rambert dancer and choreographer
Rafael Bonachela collaborates with Kylie Minogue's creative team to produce a work that explores pure physical expression.
See
21 in Mold (9 - 12 April) and London (20 - 24 May).
Living Toys Receiving its world première,
Karole Armitage's first creation for Rambert,
Living Toys transports us into that precarious and surreal state where dreams and consciousness merge.
Inspired by Thomas Adès’s dark and somewhat sinister score, this large-scale dance work promises to be a sensual and physically virtuosic spectacle. The ballet will be further enhanced by the live performance of the score by Rambert’s Associate Orchestra, London Musici.
See
Living Toys in Glasgow (29 - 31 May).
********************************
And a work new to the Company:
Visions Fugitives Prokofiev’s score, Visions Fugitives, comprises of 15 miniatures, each lasting between 20 and 60 seconds.
This score was the inspiration for Dutch choreographer,
Hans van Manen to create a suite of dances that range from the sinister to the playful.
See
Visions Fugitives in Woking (27 - 29 March) and London (20 - 24 May).

Study from Blackbird by Jirí Kylián
Ghost Dances by Christopher Bruce
Grinning In Your Face by Christopher Bruce
