Rosie Kay Dance Company returns to Leeds
to discover what makes dance beautiful
Rosie Kay Dance Company
Fantasia
Thursday 21 November
Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre, Leeds
Returning to Leeds after a sold-out visit in 2017, Rosie Kay Dance Company is back at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre next month with their latest production, Fantasia. Bringing ballet and tutus into the 21st century, Fantasia will be performed on 21 November 2019 for one night only.
Rosie Kay’s newest work fuses dance and science to create an exquisite performance of pleasure, beauty and finesse. Following work with neuroscientists in the UK and Denmark’s Center for Music in the Brain, Rosie Kay explores how dance can trigger sensations of pleasure and fulfilment in the brain, and what makes dance so beautiful to watch and experience.
Fantasia is a work of pure joy inspired by music and the body’s response to it, featuring three bold female dancers as they discover love, loss, emotion and joy. With sumptuous costumes that defy expectation, this production explores the currently unfashionable aesthetic concept of beauty.
With a soundtrack of Vivaldi, Purcell, Beethoven and Bach, arranged by Annie Mahtani, Fantasia features designs by Louis Price and lighting by Mike Gunning.
Rosie Kay, Artistic Director and choreographer says: ‘The audience will come in and be transported over an hour with delightful dance that is designed to draw you in and entertain you. This will be a deceptively simple yet complex work that will stir your heart and your mind.’
