Information
LANDforms by Rafael Bonachela had its world premiere in 2011, presented alongside Raw Models by Jacopo Godani as part of the double bill season, Shared Frequencies.
Born out of a creative concept devised by Rafael Bonachela and Ezio Bosso, LANDforms takes its inspiration from the landscape and the elements and their impact on the earth and the industrial landscape of cities. The origins of this work took place during a workshop held over 10 days at Sydney Dance Company in June 2010, led by Rafael Bonachela and composer Ezio Bosso and fuelled by the dancers of the company. Dance and music evolved simultaneously in a highly charged creative atmosphere. The incomparable award winning Katie Noonan performs an aria in LANDforms. With a luscious new score composed and performed by Ezio Bosso on piano, accompanied by violin and cello.
“This collaboration between the Spanish choreographer/dancer Rafael Bonachela and the eminent Italian composer and double bass maestro, Ezio Bosso, must be a match made in heaven…rarely can music and movement have been so perfectly combined.” – The Stage, London
