AFTER a record-breaking season in London last year, Rambert Dance Company returns to Malvern on November 19-22 with a brand new programme, including Eternal Light and a dramatic revival of Christopher Bruce’s outstanding and hugely popular Swansong.

Following the award-winning Constant Speed in 2005, artistic director Mark Baldwin brings his second major work for Rambert Dance Company to Malvern’s Forum Theatre.

Eternal Light is a new collaboration by Mark Baldwin and British composer Howard Goodall, a powerful piece set to an elegiac and uplifting new score sung live by professional choirs, including Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford. Sumptuous designs from production designer Michael Howells feature sparkling crystals donated by Swarovski and a striking headdress design from fashion milliner Stephen Jones.

In addition to Eternal Light, Rambert will perform the following repertoire – Swansong by Christopher Bruce, Carnival of the Animals by Siobhan Davies, Anatomica No 3 by André Gingras, Infinity by Garry Stewart, A Tribute to Norman Morrice (Rambert’s former artistic director) and See Me.
