COME, BEEN AND GONE

After his company's first appearance in 2008 Michael Clark returns to Luxembourg with a new work "come, been and gone" made primarily to the music of David Bowie. It also embraces the work of his key collaborators; Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and touches on some of his influences; The Velvet Underground, Kraftwerk and Nina Simone.

"Rock is my rock. It has been vital to me at a personal level; it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist." Michael Clark

Michael is no stranger to exploring modern rock music through dance. Clark's company exploded onto the world stage at the Riverside Studio, London 25 years ago in response to Mark E. Smith's clarion call:

Hail The New
Puritan
Righteous Maelstrom
Cock One!

Michael Clark choose to become a choreographer believing that actions speak louder than words. He creates work which combines his classical integrity with a more complex, contemporary sensibility embracing virtue and vice, abandon and control, grace and embarrassment. He is renowned for his legendary collaborations with bands, fashion designers and visual artists including Wire, BodyMap, Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Sarah Lucas. The costumes are by Clark regular Stevie Stewart, with lighting by another familiar name to Michael Clark audiences, Charles Atlas. Dancers include Kate Coyne (a Spotlight winner at the 2008 National Dance Awards), Melissa Hethrerington and Simon Williams.

» This wonderful, full-blooded work becomes a celebration of life itself, a quasi-autobiography that cleverly avoids being too obvious.
(Sarah Crompton, Daily Telegraph)

» [...] an outrageously gorgeous piece of modern dance.
(Luke Jennings, The Observer)
