Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company's new work Flicker features specially commissioned digital visuals and music by iconic British composer Michael Nyman. A creative reunion of two innovative artists, whose previous collaboration in 1988 was Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company's first production 'Configurations'. Exploring their shared interest in shapes and random patterning, the music and choreography will collide, clash and melt together in alternating rhythms and unstoppable motion.

Flicker will be preceded by a newly re-worked version of 'Transtep', which impressed audiences at British Dance Edition 2004. Comprising exclusively of Shobana's choreography, it charts an intriguing path taking the dancers from grappling with the jagged edges of Ryoji Ikeda's electronic music through to a theatrical resolution in a neon-lit space set to Montiverdi; the music is a stark contrast, yet both are perfect partners for Shobana's unique choreography.
