Shobana Jeyasingh is renowned for dance creations of visceral energy and excellence as well as collaborations with outstanding composers. This autumn her company returns to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

In Strange Blooms, her new piece, Jeyasingh works with Gabriel Prokofiev, a classically-trained composer who revels in the latest technology. Together they remix early baroque music with all its exuberance, ornamentation and contrast.

This appears in double bill with Configurations, Jeyasingh's seminal 1988 piece celebrated for its exhilarating speed and stunning detail. Rhythmic patterns from classical Indian dance are deployed to create a remarkably contemporary work. Michael Nyman's original music (String Quartet No.2) will be played live on stage for these performances.

Commissioned by Southbank Centre.
