Russell Maliphant Dance Company’s acclaimed double bill returns to The Coronet following its sell-out success earlier this year.

“A spiritual communion with light and shadow.” – The Times

Maliphant is celebrated for his visually rich dance works and groundbreaking approach to flow and energy, continually exploring the relationship between movement, light, and music. He is considered to be one of Britain’s leading modern dance creators, a key figure in the evolution of contemporary dance.

“A small miracle of creation, making a welcome return to the London stafe and in the perfect intimate venue.” – Seeing Dance

maliphantworks4 is the fourth in the series at The Coronet Theatre – a rare and intimate opportunity to experience the work of one of dance’s most visionary artists.

IN A LANDSCAPE

This World Premiere is the latest creation by Russell Maliphant – a powerful and moving 30-minute solo performance that showcases Maliphant’s distinctive approach as he dances with light and shadows. Seamlessly blending movement, light, and sound, In a Landscape was developed in close collaboration with visual artist Panagiotis Tomaras and features a musical world created especially for the show by long-time collaborative partner and composer Dana Fouras.

AFTERLIGHT

AfterLight is a 15-minute solo inspired by photographs and geometric drawings of the legendary Russian dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. A single dancer, Daniel Proietto,whirls beneath a dying spotlight, creating a continuous thread of movement accompanied by the spare delicate music of Satie’s Gnossiennes. Fleeting moments from the great Nijinsky ballets inform Maliphant’s choreography and Daniel Proietto’s extraordinary performance.

Originally premiered in 2009 as part of the Sadler’s Wells program In the Spirit of Diaghilev, the performance is enhanced by beautifully crafted monochromatic lighting through delicate projections that sculpt and define both Proietto and the space. AfterLight received a nomination for the 2010 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production and was awarded the Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Best Modern Choreography in 2010.

“Exquisitely sad, and sublimely danced by Proietto, AfterLight is a miniature masterpiece.” (The Observer)
