ARTISTIC POLICY
Russell Maliphant’s work is characterised by a unique approach to flow and energy and a concern with the relationship between movement, light and music. Drawing on his experience and practice of the disciplines of capoeira, tai chi, yoga and contact improvisation, his language is one of form and dynamics; elegant, articulate and resonant. He is committed to assimilating the diverse ability and understanding embodied by experienced individuals into his work, resulting in productions of technical excellence and high production values.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Elements of extraordinary beauty – this piece is smooth and flowing with lighting worthy of Caravaggio.' Figaro (Transmission)

'Exemplary lighting, impossible fluidity, strength and grace share equal billing.' The Daily Telegraph

'A choreographer of persistent accomplishment and a performer of enduring fascination ... mesmerising.' The Times

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS

Push Duet balancing sensuality and edginess, originally created by Maliphant for himself and Sylvie Guillem and now reworked and presented by the company.

Flux A solo for dancer Alexander Varona, inspired by the dancer’s fluid quality of movement and sculptural form (10 mins)

One Part II Solo danced by Maliphant with music by J.S. Bach. (15 mins)
