The delight of the occasion, though, and the matter truest to Rambert as I have watched the company over all these year, was Glenn Wilkinson’s Twin Suite 2.

‘Twin Suite’ starts with a strong single light pulsating out into the auditorium, picking out the stark outline of two figures in steely blue tight fitting costumes who enter in silence. A sudden sound initiates a fast repetitive soundtrack, mixing elements of modern house and minimalistic music. The immediate impression is that the dancers initiate each other’s movement, giving the work a contact improvisational quality. However over this is laid a highly developed sense of design that gives the choreography its startling visual effectiveness.
The relationship between the dancers seems combative, with much of the vocabulary acrobatic. It is shaped by an underlying structural framework formed by repetitive phrases that flit between the various dancers. This is set again a similarly patterned device of variable stripes of light that appear across the backdrop like a vast bar code before ending in a startling solid mass of red against which the dancers are silhouetted.
Critical Dance

The dense dance language of Glenn Wilkinson’s Twin Suite 2 was highlighted by a bare stage and Dody Nash’s costumes, emphasising the fluidity of the dancer’s bodies.
