Matthew Bourne and his Adventures in Motion Pictures.
Author: Macaulay, Alastair Published: 2000 In 1987 a small, aspirant dance group with a striking name made its debut on the London fringe. In 1997 the same company, Adventures in Motion Pictures, made history as the first modern dance company to open a production in London's West End, with the Tony Award winning Swan Lake. Matthew Bourne, artistic director of Adventures in Motion Pictures, here discusses his work with Alastair Macaulay in unprecedented detail. The two explore Bourne's upbringing, his training and influences, and his distinctive creative methods. Bourne's notebooks, his sources, and his collaboration with his dancers all form part of the discussion. |
