Rush

World Premiere: 5 October 2000, Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham
Last performance: 30 November 2002, Théâtre de la Ville, Paris

A purely abstract work inspired by the observation of parachutists in “freefall”, a physical state between tremendous speed and serene stillness. A rare Indian cycle of nine and a half beats is the choreography basic structure for movement, space and music.

In 2004, Rush became part of the A-level syllabus in the UK.
