Synopsis
Britain's biggest and most exciting touring dance company who often tour two programmes at a time. Dancing to a mixture of musical styles they provide enormously watchable evenings.
Our Review:
24 September 2009
Rambert returns to the Lowry under Mark Baldwin (Artistic Director) focusing on the theme of nature as part of the Charles Darwin year of celebrations. On this tour this innovative dance company present three distinct pieces designed to stimulate the senses and present a visual feast for the audience.
The Carnival of Animals presents a link between animals, human and music with the dancers cleverly twisting and turning into recognisable creatures with very few props demonstrating great musicality and engaging the audience in stylish, realistic interpretations of monkeys and birds amongst others. By creating beautiful lines and intricate contortions, the audience is left upbeat and enthralled.
The Comedy of Change is a less engaging piece, which contains solos, duets and group work that reflects many of the key elements of life, dark, and light, male and female, again tying in with the Darwin theme as one cannot exist without the other.
