Wednesday 14 & Thursday 15 February, 8pm Rambert Dance Company returns to Truro with a breathtaking programme of three diverse new works, brilliantly demonstrating why it remains the country’s leading modern dance company. The programme includes legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham's Pond Way, Michael Clark's award-winning Swamp and the the sumptuous narrative Lady into Fox (pictured). To book your tickets call the Box Office on 01872 262466 Pond Way is one of Merce Cunningham's 'nature studies'. It is a lyrical, contemplative, often sensuous piece. Cunningham says that the movement may be reminiscent of a game of skimming stones over a pond, which he loved to play as a child. "This is already a fine production, with some outstanding performances " This brand new production for the Company's 80th anniversary year is inspired by Andrée Howard's 1939 seminal work.

At times comic, and inevitably tragic, Lady into Fox is set to a specially composed score by Benjamin Pope. "Reviving Lady into Fox may prove to be one of Mark Baldwin's

Echoes of Clark's classical background are very evident here, but this only acts as a foundation for his originality and inventiveness. The structure of the work is loosely concerned with relationships and the title comes from the film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in which Martha refers to her husband as "Swampy".
