Awakenings Tour 2010
Rambert is at the heart of British dance, and returns to Plymouth with its award winning formula of imaginative, ambitious and high quality performances. This autumn, Britain’s national contemporary dance company presents its ravishing new work, Awakenings, a theatrical rollercoaster of emotions based on true life stories and inspired by Dr Oliver Sacks’ book of the same name, made famous by the 1990 Hollywood film. Featuring a specially commissioned score, both passionate and lyrical, the Rambert dancers and orchestra draw you into this dramatic and spine tingling new work.
Two further dance works will also be performed, including a rare chance to see the hypnotic RainForest, by the late American master of contemporary dance, Merce Cunningham, plus the gorgeously frantic The Art of Touch by Siobhan Davies.
With 22 of the world’s finest dancers and incredible live music from the Rambert Orchestra, the size, scale and spectacle of the Company continues to thrill and inspire.
