New classical Indian dance meets abstract sculpture in Erhebung – a collaboration between ATMA Dance’s Artistic Director Mayuri Boonham, Sculptor Jeff Lowe, Sound Artist Bill Fontana and Costume Designer Moritz Junge. Erhebung’ is a dance-sculpture-sonic art installation. Funded by the Arts Council of England and co-commissioned by Pavilion Dance South West and GemArts.
After the great success of her Draftworks piece Vāc II in April 2013, ATMA Dance Director and Royal Ballet Choreographic Affiliate Mayuri Boonham returns to The Linbury Studio Theatre stage in April 2014 – this time for an entire evening with her company ATMA Dance and the world-premiere of two new dance works, which include a commission from the Royal Ballet Studio Programme. Working with both Royal Ballet members and some of the best classical Bharatanatyam dancers in the UK, Mayuri’s choreography takes inspiration from classical ancient texts of India to create an evening of exciting contemporary dance.
