Rambert Dance Company November 30, 2006

Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, Rambert Dance Company continues to be at the forefront of dance. This programme of three works brilliantly demonstrates why it remains Britain’s flagship modern dance company. Versatile and exciting, Rambert’s dancers present rich, bold and blistering dance to electrify the imagination and indulge the senses.

Mark Baldwin’s hugely entertaining, Einstein-inspired, Constant Speed has dancers whizzing around the stage like hyperactive molecules in a prismatic landscape of colour, and is performed to sparkling waltzes by Franz Lehár.

Lady into Fox is a surreal narrative piece and a seminal Rambert work. It is re-worked for the Company’s 80th anniversary year by Amanda Eyles with Mark Baldwin, after Andrée Howard, and inspired by a silent black and white film of the 1930s production.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the death of British artist LS Lowry, former artistic director of Phoenix Dance Theatre, Darshan Singh Bhuller creates a new piece called Stand and Stare, inspired by Lowry’s approach to his paintings and response to his surroundings.
