RAMBERT DANCE COMPANY - COMEDY OF CHANGE TOUR 2010 | 10 to 13 Mar 2010

Wednesday 10 – Saturday 13 March
Anthony Hopkins Theatre

RAMBERT DANCE COMPANY

Comedy of Change Tour 2010

Following their record-breaking visit to Mold in March 2009, Rambert Dance Company returns with a thrilling and diverse programme of new dance works.

Live music by Rambert Orchestra.

After the universal successes of Constant Speed (2005) and Eternal Light (2008), Artistic Director Mark Baldwin presents a brand new work that will tantalise the senses and stimulate the mind. Created to commemorate 150 years since the publication of Charles Darwin’s momentous On the Origin of Species, The Comedy of Change* is set to a specially-commissioned score by renowned British composer Julian Anderson and features design by one of Paris’ leading lights of contemporary art, Kader Attia. It skilfully blends dance and science into a stunning, energetic and striking performance.

The performance also features two equally breathtaking works: Hush, a light-hearted creation by one of Britain’s most popular choreographers, Christopher Bruce, and the irresistible samba-inspired lines and curves of Itzik Galili’s A Linha Curva, featuring one of Rambert’s largest ever casts.

The Company’s 22 dancers are among the finest and most versatile in the world and uplifting live music from Rambert Orchestra superbly enhances the experience.

*The Comedy of Change is commissioned by the Darwin Festival for Shrewsbury
Theatre Severn.
Music supported by the Drummond fund and the Royal Philharmonic Society.
The Comedy of Change is jointly supported by the BBSRC and the Wellcome
Trust Media Partner Sky Arts.
