Hi Ally
Thanks for your comments, and we're really glad you enjoyed the show and the workshop. In answer to your question, the Swansong music is available on CD from our online shop (click on the "Shop" link on the left).
I hope that's helpful.
112# style

As always I enjoyed the performance but along with another friend who dances, I felt there was too much of what I would call abstract or ultra contemporary and less of the balletic contemporary style which is the style in which Rambert have excelled in the past. For three of the four pieces I felt that I could almost have been watching Phoenix Dance Theatre which for me, personally, is not a good thing!
Swansong however was great. I was at the Thursday Matinee if you would like to pass on my thanks to the three dancers who made such a good job of it.

My niece and I attended the matinee and were totally inspired - really enjoying every dance. As a trained dance teacher I appreciated both the more absract dances for the quality and beauty of the movement and 'Swansong' for its gritty edge - i shall be ordering the music.
Thank you!
