Russell Maliphant Company Announces Newcastle Date On UK Tour

Newcastle Dance

Saturday 4th
May 2019
The Olivier Award winning Russell Maliphant
Company has announced that the anticipated new work, Silent Lines is coming to
Newcastle on 4th May 2019; a ground-breaking new dance production
with video artist Panagiotis Tomaras and new team of exceptional dancers.
Silent Lines
draws upon Maliphant’s tireless research and explorations in dance and
experiential anatomy using a unique mix of movement, animated video projection,
and lighting. The piece investigates a range of poetic possibilities, using the
visually rich and resonant connections between internal and external worlds,
the microcosm and the macrocosm.
Drawing on methodologies from a variety
of movement disciplines to examine qualities and setting these within a world
of animated light, Silent Lines explores the endless web of connections we
encompass and embody.
Russell Maliphant Company was
established in 1996 as the framework for Maliphant to initiate productions and
to work with his own ensemble of dancers. Since that time, the company has
received two Olivier awards, three South Bank Show awards and three Critics’
Circle National Dance awards for best modern choreography, amongst many other
national and international awards and nominations.
In April 2018, the Russell
Maliphant Company became one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio
Organisations. This brings an exciting new chapter to the company’s history,
becoming Company in Residence at DanceEast, Ipswich.
Russell Maliphant says “For this
project, I have chosen to delve into the resource of studies and explorations I
have made over the years in anatomy, biomechanics and in particular the body’s
fascial system in relation to movement training and choreography. Allowing that to be the theme to inspire and
effect the creation, Silent Lines investigates a range of poetic possibilities,
using the visually rich and resonant connections between internal and external
worlds, the microcosm and the macrocosm. Drawing on methodologies from a
variety of movement disciplines and setting these within a world of animated
light, this creation explores the endless web of connections we encompass and
embody.”
Silent Lines is co-produced by
Sadler’s Wells, and supported by Arts Council England, Cockayne, The London
Community Foundation, DanceEast and Ipswich Borough Council. Private supports
include, Sandy & Jake Ulrich and Jules Burns.
‘Dance
City is absolutely thrilled to be welcoming this award-winning company to its
theatre this Spring. Russell Maliphant’s reputation for creating high quality,
ground breaking work precedes him and it’s a pleasure to be bringing his latest
piece Silent Lines to our audience here in the North East.’
