Created in the 100th year since Stravinsky’s iconic Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) was composed, iTMOi explores the human condition and the way in which Stravinsky transformed the classical music world by evoking emotions through pattern, rooted in the concept of a woman dancing herself to death.   Featuring an original score by Nitin Sawhney, Jocelyn Pook and Ben Frost, iTMOi is yet another extraordinary artistic collaboration from Khan and a talented artistic team including costume designer Kimie Nakano, dramaturge Ruth Little and an international cast of 11 dancers.    For further info and tickets sales, go here.    Here's a sneak preview of what to expect...   2013-05-10T13:19:25+00:00 http://www.bedroomcommunity.net/news/article/two_hearts http://www.bedroomcommunity.net/news/article/two_hearts#When:17:59:58Z The Two Hearts production marks the fourth collaboration between Nico Muhly and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.  The score for Two Hearts, commissioned by New York City Ballet, draws inspiration from the Northern European song “Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor”.
