National Dance Company Wales
returns to Dance City with a triple bill of inspirational dance.
Alexander Ekman’s Tuplet is a pulsating work that’s all about rhythm.
With an electronic soundscape used alongside a score created in collaboration
with the dancers’ own rhythmic impulses, irrational rhythms are made to
stunning effect.
Stephen Shropshire’s thought-provoking Mythology is a mesmerising work complemented by Frederic Rzewski's Coming
Together, an avant-garde composition for piano, jazz ensemble and spoken word.
Lee Johnston’s They Seek To Find The Happiness They Seem is a beautiful and awe-inspiring work that uses existing forms of
choreography, lighting and costume design to explore dislocation and separation
within a relationship.
