Henri Oguike, one of the most musical choreographers of his generation, returns with his eight-strong troupe to offer a mixed bill of grandly expansive dancing and intuitive choreography. Green in Blue, performed with a live band, is Oguike's first foray into jazz and a new collaboration with saxophonist and composer Iain Ballamy. By contrast, two of Vivaldi's violin concertos breathe fire into Little Red. Inspired by Blake's poem The Tyger, the plucked strings of Steve Martland's score are reflected in the dancers' sinuous and feline movements in Tiger Dancing. Set to the quiet Saharan blues of guitarist Ali Farka Toure, Expression Lines sees Oguike evoke the harsh contrasts of equatorial sand and sky in a reflective solo.



Cheerio!
