Schrittmacher Festival, Aachen, Germany
In Lie of the Land the sharp sweetness of Ned Rorem’s String Quartet No.4 has taken Martin Lawrance into new territory. Lyrical yet urgent dancing charts the lie of the land in ever restless and searching mood changes. “Lawrance’s most impressive dance yet. Strong, clear and charged with expressive tension” The Times.
Richard Alston’s iconic Roughcut, made in 1990, is probably his best-loved signature piece. It is danced to Steve Reich’s shimmeringly beautiful New York Counterpoint and Electric Counterpoint, played live by clarinettist Roger Heaton and guitarist James Woodrow. This is a rare chance to see one of the defining classics of British Dance. “Fills the stripped-back reaches of the stage with a mercurial joie de vivre that makes you grin in the dark.” The Herald
Schrittmacher Festival is taking place in Aachen, Germany from 23.3.2012 to 25.3.2012.
