Internationally acclaimed Brazilian dance company perform at Wales Millennium Centre |
Brazilian Dance Company, Groupo Corpo, return to the UK, performing two spellbinding pieces at Wales Millennium Centre on 14 & 15 October 2014. www.wmc.org.uk/grupocorpo Grupo Corpo will perform two pieces, choreographed by artistic director Rodrigo Pederneiras. The first piece, Parabelo, is inspired by life in rural Brazil and has been described by Pederneiras as his most Brazilian creation. There are moments of utter peace and stillness and others of raucous Brazilian carnival. The second piece, Sem Mim, is a darker piece taking inspiration from a Portuguese song cycle and focuses on a group of women who lament the departure of their lovers. Dressed in intricately patterned and colourful bodysuits, the dancers move as waves; the ebb and flow of their bodies mimicking the calm and fury of the sea. “Their combination of sharp precision and breezy relaxation is unlike anything I have ever seen.” The Daily Telegraph With a history stretching back nearly 40 years, Grupo Corpo’s virtuosic dancers combine the precision of classical ballet with the sensuality and passion of Latin dance rhythms. Grupo Corpo translates as Group Body, reflecting the movement style of the dancers, who co-ordinate to fill the stage with unmatched energy and excitement. Grupo Corpo is at Wales Millennium Centre on 14 & 15 October. Tickets range from £15.50 - £25.50. Premium packages are available. Age Guidance 8+.
