ROS WARBY (Australia)
SWIFT (UK Premiere)

The Place: Robin Howard Dance Theatre
Fri 27 & Sat 28 October

Humorous, elegant and startlingly original, Ros Warby’s SWIFT is an engaging and thought-provoking work. By interweaving dynamic vignettes the piece traverses the complex physical, psychological and emotional states experienced by the female protagonist.

Warby has collaborated with cellist/composer Helen Mountfort and award-winning designer Margie Medlin. The result is beguiling movement supported by live electric and acoustic cello within a cinematic ambience created by twelve 16mm film projectors. SWIFT is an engrossing kaleidoscope of images, gesture, choreography and music.

‘SWIFT is a work of outstanding originality: beautiful, absorbing and full of subtle meaning.’
The Age, Australia
