| Sadler's Wells, London, Rosebery Avenue,, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom Saturday 13-Jul-13 02:30pm Quimeras Legendary flamenco guitarist, composer, dramatist and producer Paco Peña returns to Sadler’s Wells with his latest narrative work Quimeras, directed by Southbank Centre artistic director Jude Kelly. Exploring the lure of travel and the dream of people everywhere of finding a better life - and the profound influence that the African continent has had on European culture - Quimeras tells the story of a group of Africans who have come to Spain in search of work. Over a career that spans more than four decades, Peña has expanded the possibilities of flamenco and changed perceptions of the art form by mining the richness of its traditions while continuing to be inspired by contemporary culture. With Quimeras, he draws on his own experience of living in Andalusia, a gateway to Europe for many north African immigrants. The result is a marriage of both traditional Spanish and African music and dance, creating a spectacle of virtuoso performances and intimate storytelling which was described as “breathtakingly beautiful” (Daily Telegraph). | ||

Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| Prinzregententheater, Munich, 81675 Munich, Germany Saturday 13-Jul-13 07:30pm La fille mal gardée - revival Who, if not an Englishman, and what Englishman, if not Sir Frederick Ashton, could look back at the times of the first narrative ballet that has been passed down to us with such a “very British” perception – so naïve and yet so sophisticated, so charming and yet so technically virtuosic? Needless to say, love triumphs across the board at the end – the badly guarded daughter gets her beloved Alain – neither her mother, the widow Simone, nor the rich farmer with his dolt of a son can prevent it. And the widow surprisingly gets a man as well. | ||

Prinzregententheater, Munich Biped |
Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| Prinzregententheater, Munich, 81675 Munich, Germany Tuesday 16-Jul-13 07:30pm "Biped is a signature piece of Merce Cunningham’s late body of works. 42 minutes of pure dance co-exist on stage without correlation to projection and music.
„It was one of the first new musical compositions commissioned by Merce Cunningham since the death of John Cage in 1992. Like all of Merce‘s work it involved a collaboration with visual artists, in this case Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar who had developed a very striking technique of video motion capture. In working on the music Merce and I agreed that we would follow the method established between himself and John Cage of working independently but towards a common goal, thereby avoiding any planned one-to-one relationship between music, dance and décor.”
(Composer Gavin Bryars about Biped)
Ballet by Richard Siegal
„…suddenly, Richard Siegal stops the rehearsal, tells what he intended to insert here and there, asks the audience for their opinion, drops all inquiries and jumps to the next scene (…) it takes a while to realize what game is being played here – but even then, a hint of uncertainty is left behind. The means of presentation are chosen intentionally: the casual tone of voice, the official tone, minute details in choreographed passages where he articulates every single muscle like a cat, stand-up comedy followed by solemn seriousness. A wide-spectrum.” – TANZ magazine wrote about Richard Siegal as choreographer and performer. His new creation is yet to be named.Image credit: Merce Cunningham © Annie Liebovitz | ||

Scottish Ballet |

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Saturday 17-Aug-13 08:00pm Pierrot Lunaire (1962) This seminal work from American dancer and choreographer Glen Tetley was also the starting point of his now iconic choreographic style – combining modern dance with the elongated line and aerial bravura of ballet. It is a style he perfected through his professional career performing leading roles in the Martha Graham Dance Company as well as with American Ballet Theatre. Inspired by the three principal characters from the commedia dell’arte, it is a poetic, humorous and dramatic interpretation of composer Arnold Schoenberg’s revolutionary work of the same name. | ||

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Sunday 18-Aug-13 08:00pm The Rite of Spring (2011) Intense and visceral, Christopher Hampson’s vision of The Rite of Spring, created originally for Atlanta Ballet, is presented 100 years after the original production revolutionised the world of dance and music. Set to Stravinsky’s exhilaratingly influential score, Hampson uses three dancers – two men and a woman – to reinvent the now infamous story of remorseless human sacrifice with brutal physicality and primal energy in this challenging work that examines themes of violence, obedience and domination. | ||

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Monday 19-Aug-13 08:00pm Im (Goldenen) Schnitt I (reconstruction 1996) Moving through constellations of wood and Plexiglas pillars, reacting in sculptor Vera Rohm's space Cesc Gelabert recreates Gerhard Bohner's original concept highlighting elements of dance, visual arts and music while allowing them to remain autonomous. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, interpreted by Keith Jarrett, provides the music for this reconstruction of Bohner's solo Im (Goldenen) Schnitt I, to which Gelabert brings his inimitable style and individuality as a dancer. | ||

 | ||
| Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh EH1 3AA, United Kingdom Saturday 24-Aug-13 07:30pm L.A. Dance Project A brilliant programme of modern masterworks from one of the hottest names in dance. Benjamin Millepied brings his new company to the UK for the first time, following his huge success as choreographer and star of Darren Aronofsky’s award-winning film Black Swan.
L.A. Dance Project is an artist collective founded by Millepied, composer Nico Muhly, art consultant Matthieu Humery, producer Charles Fabius and film producer Dimitri Chamblas. At the peak of his career, after starring with New York City Ballet, Millepied embarks on a new adventure.
Quintett
Forsythe's seminal work, set to Gavin Bryars's emotional and elegiac Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, is a moving final love letter to his wife before she died.
Winterbranch
This dramatic work features costumes by Robert Rauschenberg and a score, 2 Sounds, by La Monte Young. Merce Cunningham talked about two ‘facts’ of dancing – the act of falling, and unless one stays on the ground, the subsequent act of rising. The dancers engage in a series of falls, in both slow and fast motion, eventually clustering together to fall and rise united as a cohesive group.

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Thursday 29-Aug-13 07:30pm About the performanceJosé Montalvo combines farce, burlesque and commedia dell’arte for the 21st century with urban and modern dance, film and slapstick comedy in his brilliant new show.
Don Quixote, in his fifties, decides to achieve great things and finds himself in the dance halls, or Trocaderos, of Europe – traditional meeting and socialising spaces. Featuring acclaimed comic actor Patrice Thibaud and a spellbinding interplay of live dance and film projections, Montalvo’s latest work makes for an unexpected, surreal and intriguing take on Cervantes’s iconic novel.
As with his last Festival appearance with On Danse in 2007, in which dancers appeared to carry an elephant on a flying carpet and an army of tiny horses flew across the audience, in Montalvo’s creative universe, expect the unexpected.Image credit: Patrick Berger | ||

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 21-Sep-13 07:30pm Even though John Cranko is South African, he counts as one of the most significant English choreographers of the 20th century. Furthermore, he is a central figure in German ballet history – after all, he contributed greatly to the fact that Germany returned to the forefront of the ballet world in the 1960s. In particular his version of Romeo and Juliet, created in 1962, directed the eyes of the ballet world back to the "Dance Country Germany" after it had been the catalyst of "Ausdruckstanz" and Modern Dance during the first third of the 20th century.
Cranko's Romeo and Juliet is told in the most clear and concise way, making explanations in the program book almost completely redundant. In his choreographic handwriting, each movement resembles an emotion. It is purely classical, but combines different styles and influences: from the near acrobatic virtuosity of the soviet ballet to the subtle elegance of the English style. This mixture is especially evident in his pas de deux between lovers. Ever since 1968, the ballet has been in the repertory of the Bavarian State Ballet. Every new generation of audiences and dancer alike is enchanted and devastated by the drama of this piece.
Prices G: 70 / 63 / 53 / 40 / 29 / 17 / 10 / 7.
