Having achieved record-breaking audience attendance in London during its autumn tour 2007, Rambert Dance Company embarks on the second leg of its World View Tour, spring 2008. 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.
Described as a ‘craftsman’ of irresistible intensity, Doug Varone, Artistic Director of Doug Varone and Dancers, uses his extraordinary musical instincts to present Scribblings, his first commission for Rambert. Inspired by composer John Adams’ flamboyant Chamber Symphony, Varone draws on the comic exaggeration and energy in the music to create a daring and complex work set in an off-kilter world with touches of urgency and humour.
