As part of their new festival danciNG the world, Dance City are delighted to welcome Random Dance for the performance of their latest work AtaXia.
Multi-award winning choreographer Wayne McGregor draws on his recent six-month research fellowship with Cambridge University, to throw new light onto the investigation of the human body.
Generating a fresh and radical look at human physicality, AtaXia explores dislocation and loss of control while using the complex technology that has become the hallmark of Random Dance.
AtaXia draws influences from such diverse worlds as neuroscience, composition, psychology, virtual design, spatial architecture and computer programming.
Following McGregor’s recently lauded commissions for Rambert, English National Ballet and The Royal Ballet, AtaXia is a must-see for dance aficionados and newcomers alike.
Constantly evolving his practice, McGregor’s ground-breaking work evokes alternative realities, where sensory landscapes collide with breathtakingly strange movement to build alien universes. The dancers’ combination of strength and grace is truly awesome.
Culture Club members can claim a great ticket discount for the performance on Wednesday May 3, 2006 taking place in the Dance Lab at Dance City, 8pm.
Tickets prices range from £5 to £15 but members can get a 2 for 1 offer on the £12 price band - meaning that each ticket is only £6 each.
