Premiere of Shobana Jeyasingh’s new work Classic Cut
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
Leading choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh will premiere her new work, Classic Cut, at The Point. The intriguing new show features two pieces, one revisiting the past, the other stepping into a bold new era. The first piece sees Jeyasingh revisiting Configurations, a dance she created in 1989. Ground-breaking at the time for its use of music – Jeyasingh commissioned composer Michael Nyman to create a new score, String Quartet No. 2 – Configurations fuses traditional dance forms such as ballet and Bharata Natyam with contemporary movement to produce an intricate, fast-paced performance. Alongside this, Jeyasingh presents an untitled new work that draws on the colourful theatrical genre of classical Indian dance.
Classic Cut takes place on Thursday, February 23, at 7.30pm. Tickets are £12 (£10conc). For more details, call the box office on 023 8065 2333 or visit www.thepointeastleigh.co.uk
