25-26 June: One of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s most fascinatin g choreographic works, Drumming, returns to Sadler’s Wells in full after part one was performed in De Keersmaeker’s celebrated Steve Reich Evening i n 2008. A pioneer of minimalist music, Steve Reich’s work has been a catal yst throughout De Keersmaeker’s career ever since she created Fase (1982),her debut as a choreographer. Since then his distinctive style has formed the basis of numerous works by De Keersmaeker including Rain. Composed by R eich in 1970, Drumming is based on a single rhythmic motif which multiplie s, develops and accelerates into an endless interplay of canons. This powe rful score is brought to life with breathtaking precision as contemporary m usic ensemble Ictus perform live on stage, whilst 13 dancers move to the b eat in this energetic and skilfully choreographed piece. is Booking: htt p://www.sadlerswells.com/show/Sadlers-Sampled-2013-Rosas-and-Ictus
