Dance

Rambert: Dark Arteries/Frames/Four Elements, Sadler's Wells

12 May 15 – 16 May 15, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

The first ever brass band dance work arrives at Sadler's Wells with Rambert’s roof-raising Dark Arteries

Dark Arteries is the centrepiece of Rambert’s Spring programme – a unique collaboration between Britain’s foremost contemporary dance company and a champion brass band, the Tredegar Town Band.
Described as an “historic crossover of artistic genres,” Dark Arteries pays homage to the enduring power of brass band music as the legacy of Britain’s now almost extinct mining communities, whose lives centred on the coalfields - the “dark arteries” of the title.
Uniting the talents of composer Gavin Hughes and Rambert Artistic Director Mark Baldwin, and with massed ranks of the Tredegar Brass Band playing live on stage, this is an emotional and ultimately uplifting piece.
Dark Arteries is part of an enticing triple bill, which includes the latest work from one of Britain’s most exciting young choreographers, Alexander Whitley. Frames brings together dancers and metal structures that grow, transform and combine to create a stage within a stage. Music is by Daniel Bjarnason, and the metal structures are the work of the experimental duo Revital Cohen and Tuur van Balen
Intriguing and very cutting edge.
The final work of the evening is a masterpiece from one of the key figures of American contemporary dance, Lucinda Childs. Her minimalist Four Elements has already carved its place as a classic of the contemporary canon.
Music for these two pieces will be care of the Rambert Orchestra.
This is a well-balanced, original mixed bill, with something for everyone and well worth a viewing,
If you want to learn a little more about Rambert and the community roots of Britain's brass bands, there will be free pre-show talks on Wednesday at 18:30, with Mark Baldwin; and Friday at 18:30 with Music Director Paul Hoskins.

    The Tredegar Town Band trace their origins to the mid-19th century and have been proudly representing their Welsh Valleys community ever since.

    Now 30-strong, the Band evolved from humble and insecure beginnings to steadily growing success in national and international competitions. 2010 was the band’s proudest year with no less than seven major domestic and national titles, culminating with the unique double feat of winning the Grand Shield and the British Open Championship.

    They were British Open Champions again in 2013.
