Still Current, Russell Maliphant

Still Current, featuring a programme of work by Choreographer Russell Maliphant, is a collective interplay of movement, light and sound. It is quite simply spell-binding. The award-winning Afterlight (Part One) the solo Two, dazzle with the trickery of long exposure photography as limbs turn to quicksilver, inspired by the photographs of the dancer Nijinsky. Still Current draws on contemporary, ballet and martial arts, featuring lighting design by Michael Hulls, an eclectic sound-mix by long-time collaborators Andy Cowton and Mukul, with the plangent music of Eric Satie. Dancers Thomasin Gulgec, Dickson Mbi and Carys Staton join Maliphant, whose Shaman presence and fluid style, transcends and touches the stars.
