Balbir Singh Dance Co

April 14, 2016 @ 7:00 PM

Balbir Singh Dance Company

The work of Balbir Singh Dance Company is both highly original and innovative in its choice of subject, whose variety is matched only by the range of settings in which it is performed. Wherever it is seen, the work leaves audiences inspired, moved and opened up to the richness of highly sophisticated – yet extremely accessible – work by a choreographer whose mastery of culturally diverse forms of dance has won critical acclaim.

The company has attracted international attention through high profile work such as the Cultural Olympiad commission Synchronised during the 2012 London Olympics, which wowed audiences and critics alike.

Despite this capacity for delivering large scale work, Balbir Singh’s choreography retains at its heart an intimate and humane style which is most at home in
smaller settings. Some of the work, has a particular affinity with the rural, as Kathak is itself rooted in
rural Indian traditions. The contemporary pieces too, such as A Solo Duet, bring a level of conceptual insight that is more often found in larger metropolitan venues.

Much of the work is designed to be performed with live music, and this, together with Balbir Singh’s reputation for attention to detail, ensure the audience are treated to an engaging artistic experience that will linger long in the memory.
