Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company presents
Bruise Blood & Faultline Autumn Tour, 13th October - 20th November 2010

Autumn 2010 sees Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company touring two of the choreographer's finest recent works 'Faultline' and 'Bruise Blood'. The tour starts in Wellingborough on 13th October and ends on 20th November in Leeds. 2007's 'Faultline' contains some of Jeyasingh's most notable choreography to date and is performed with sharpness and speed by the company's dancers. Inspired by Gautam Malkani's novel 'Londonstani', Faultline paints a gripping picture of the turbulent tensions among 21st centre British-Asian youth. Scanner's electronic sound score is interwoven with music by Errollyn Wallen movingly sung by the classical Indian soprano, Patricia Rozario. Pete Gomes' flickering monochrome film shot in Southall and Brick Lane adds to the intensity of the atmosphere.

The exhilarating 'Bruise Blood' (musically recalibrated from the 2009 original) is set to a remix of Steve Reich's politically potent 'Come Out' by composer Glynn Perrin. The piece open with a powerful solo performance by charismatic beatboxer Shlomo before the eight dancers take over the stage with Jeyasingh's intense, thrilling choreography.

The company dancers are Emily Absalom, Jose Agudo, Avatara Ayuso, Noora Kela, Nicola Monaco, Devaraj Thimmaiah and Ruth Voon.
