The Company will perform its new work, Scribblings, by American choreographer Doug Varone, L’eveil by Melanie Teall, Swansong by Christopher Bruce and Infinity by Garry Stewart. With Artistic Director Mark Baldwin firmly at the helm, the world-class Rambert Dance Company returns to the Theatre Royal Newcastle from Tuesday 1 April – Saturday 5 April 2008.

Created by dancer/choreographer Melanie Teall, L’eveil is an abstract work for six women. The piece also features Melanie Marshall, who sings live the Kurt Weill classic, Je ne t’aime pas and Leslie Bricusse’s
