Constantly evolving, Rambert Dance Company remains one of Britain’s finest and most popular modern dance companies. This November its unique heritage collides with two brand new creations, in a programme of four powerful and exhilarating works.

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.

Making its London premiere is Australian choreographer Garry Stewart’s high energy new work, Infinity, which explores the dramatic and often brutal passage towards life’s inevitable end, pitting the dancers against each other in an avalanche of striking and relentless physical imagery.

Gran Partita, by American “punk ballerina” Karole Armitage completes the programme. Set to movements from Mozart’s heart-melting piece of the same name, this luminous, elegant and romantic work allows the audience to dream.

An exciting addition to the programme is a brand new short work from Rambert dancer/choreographer Melanie Teall, L’eveil. Inspired loosely by aspects of femininity and influenced by the power of the female voice through song, it is performed to Kurt Weill’s Je ne t’aime pas and Leslie Bricusse’s Feeling Good (made famous by Nina Simone), with costumes inspired by world-renowned fashion designer Roland Mouret. L’eveil was created in July this year for Rambert’s 2007 choreographic Workshop Season to great acclaim.
