13 October 2016. Michael Clark Company at the Barbican

This was an amazing evening of three works, all performed in dramatic costumes and against dramatic backdrops. First came 'Satie Studs / Ogives Composite'. The prelude was for all eight members of the Company and featured what seemed extraordinarily difficult moved and poises. Then the four ogives featured different pairs, a trio and a soloist. Next came 'Land', with the music of Patti Smith and a backdrop of projected geometric figures and numbers. After the intermission, the evening closed with 'my mother, my dog and CLOWNS!' to the music of David Bowie and with a guest appearance by Michael Clark himself.
This was a high-energy evening featuring what seemed like incredibly accomplished dancing much of which required parallel synchronisation that seemed almost impossible but which was largely achieved to perfection.
