Britain’s flagship contemporary dance company, returns to Woking Dance Festival with an impressive triple-bill. Opening the programme will be the Rambert premiere of Hans van Manen’s Visions Fugitives, a vivacious piece for six dancers by Holland’s most prestigious choreographer, performed to live music by Prokofiev.

Grinning In Your Face is the most recent work by Rambert’s former Artistic Director, Christopher Bruce. Inspired by images of the American mid-West, set to music by the virtuoso blues and folk guitarist Martin Simpson, this evocative ballet is laced with emotional power and lyrical beauty that are hallmarks of Bruce’s style.

Concluding the programme, PreSentient is the latest work created for Rambert by the celebrated and distinctive British choreographer Wayne McGregor. A daring piece, for twelve dancers, this physically audacious spectacle stretches the dancers to the extremes of their abilities, performed to Steve Reich’s kinetic Triple Quartet, played live by London Musici.
