Phoenix Dance Theatre at Theatre Royal Brighton

Phoenix Dance Theatre has an international reputation for presenting inspiring, entertaining contemporary dance, performed by a formidable group of dancers handpicked from around the world.

In a show at brighton's Theatre Royal, American choreographers José Limón and Jane Dudley, crucial figures in the development of modern dance, feature their landmark works including The Moor’s Pavane, Limón’s signature work based on Othello with music by Purcell. Harmonica Breakdown choreographed by Jane Dudley, co-founder of London Contemporary Dance School, will also feature.

Javier De Frutos, the company’s Olivier-award winning Director is a notorious maverick of the dance world whose passionate Latin American spirit informs his vivid choreographic interpretation. His repertoire includes Los Picadores, a carnal approach to Stravinsky’s Les Noces; and the colourful Nopalitos, inspired by the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ festival. He is well known for his work with Rambert Dance Company and his choreography of Cabaret in the West End .
