In 2012, Mark Baldwin celebrates ten years at the helm of Rambert. As artistic director he has presented the work of over 20 international choreographers and commissioned more than 25 world premieres.

To commemorate this anniversary year, Mark has created What Wild Ecstasy, set to a new score commissioned by New Music 20x12 as part of the Cultural Olympiad. A modern-day take on Nijinsky’s 100 year old L’Après-midi d’un faune, the Rambert version of this influential work will also be performed, revived by the Company for the first time in almost 30 years.

Following the critically acclaimed and multi award-nominated A Linha Curva, Israeli choreographer Itzik Galili returns with the UK premiere of his high energy work, SUB, a battlefield of relentlessly sparring testosterone.

Siobhan Davies’ irascibly fast The Art of Touch completes the programme. All four works will be played live by the Rambert Orchestra.

PRS for Music Foundation’s New Music 20x12 is a UK-wide commissioning programme initiated by Jillian Barker and David Cohen, and delivered in partnership with the BBC, LOCOG and NMC Recordings. See www.prsformusicfoundation.com for more information.
