Rising star of contemporary dance comes to Cornwall

The Cathy Marston Project

Hall for Cornwall

Thursday 7^th September

Box Office: 01872 262466

Former Associate Artist of the Royal Opera House, choreographer Cathy Marston presents her unique blend of classical and contemporary dance in a stunning triple bill combining music, literature, visual art and fashion.

Before The Tempest… After The Storm draws you into a mythological world where Marston imagines the pre and post story of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. With an original score incorporating extracts from Ovid and W H Auden, the piece contrasts the earthy, primal relationship of Caliban and his mother, Sycorax, with the elegant, ethereal dialogue of Prospero and Ariel.

Inspired by a recent trip to Cuba (commissioned by Channel 4 short films), the World Premiere of Marston’s Arcana, draws on Afro-Cuban folklore music, presenting a vibrant fusion of colour and passion. In an upbeat and sensual play on rhythm and movement, the dancers are set alight with dazzling costumes by award-winning Turkish fashion designer, Bora Aksu.

Originally created for dancers of the Royal Ballet, Traces presents a dance ‘soap opera’ of emotions, bringing alive the music of Yann Tierson, composer of the score for Amélie.

In what is likely to be a sell-out performance, anyone with a passion for modern dance should be sure not to miss the opportunity to see the company while it is in Cornwall. 

There will be just one performance on Thursday 7^th September at 8pm and tickets are from £8.50 (RV) to £12.75, with concessions available.  For school/college groups (15 or more), tickets are just £6 each. A 50p Theatre Fund payment is added to each ticket sold. Contact the box office on 01872 262466, Typetalk prefix 18001.
