Mavin Khoo Dance presents 'Parallel Passions', the company's first national tour, by the UK Foundation for Dance, co-commissioned by the Royal Opera House and Sampad. Mavin Khoo leads his company of dancers, from Russia, France, London and Birmingham in an electrifying programme of solos, duets and ensemble pieces, set to music ranging from traditional Carnatic to classical Baroque via 20th century disco and Madonna! The Spring Tour runs from 30 January until 3 April 2004.

Parallel Passions includes the world premiere of a new work, alongside critically acclaimed pieces, choreographed by Mavin Khoo and Michael Beare. The long-term vision for Mavin Khoo Dance is for a dance and performance-led repertory company on a ballet model, rather than a vehicle devoted to a single choreographer's ambitions.

Reflecting Mavin Khoo's passion for and virtuosity in the disciplines of bharata natyam, ballet and contemporary dance, the programme explores the full potential of the bilingual body.

The programme features:

• Gemini - a solo in ballet and bharata natyam, choreography by Michael Beare.
• Obsessing in Line -a ballet duet.
• Ashtapadi -a bharata natyam solo.
• Lovely Way to Burn - the world premier of a piece for four dancers set to Madonna's personal take on the Peggy Lee classic, 'Fever'.
• Images in Varnam - the full company of five dancers.
