Britten Sinfonia goes Random


This year Britten Sinfonia is to embark upon an entirely new venture as part of our Creative Learning department. Working with the Sadlers Wells-based company Random Dance, known for their cutting-edge projects including, most recently, the brilliant AtaXia (reviewed by The Guardian as being “stunningly conceived and executed…a moving experiment…a choreographic first”) musicians from Britten Sinfonia will join with dancers for an education project as exciting as it is innovative.

Following on from the highly successful 2007 performance of AUTO I MOBILE (a revolutionary project that saw children dance alongside professionals in a car park setting), this July the stakes will again be upped with professional musicians thrown into the mix for a dance collaboration like no other.

At the helm will be world-famous choreographer Wayne McGregor and international composer Stevie Wishart who, together with local schools, will build a collaborative project involving music, dance and movement for a truly remarkable performance.
