Leigh Warren + Dancers
Renowned for defying convention and enticing audiences with sublime marriages of movement and sound, Leigh Warren + Dancers presents a unique and inspiring double bill of dance, the first time these two pieces have been performed together.
Breathe European Premiere
Dancers writhe, intertwine and pulse with natural, spellbinding rhythm as though each gesture were merely an extension of their own breath. Set to the intensely haunting indigenous sounds of the didgeridoo, performed live by legendary player William Barton, Breathe is rooted in the ancient and modern traditions of the company’s native Australia.
Impulse
Placing Michael Nyman’s String Quartet No 2 at the heart of the action, dancers are inspired and propelled by the witty and dynamic music, performed live on stage by the Zephyr Quartet. Dancers, musicians and cutting-edge visual technology play together to produce a stunning visualisation of the sound itself.
