2016 // 17 SEASON

Northrop Presents Sat, Apr 8, 8:00 pm Carlson Family Stage

Matthew Bourne's Highland Fling Dear Friends of Northrop, Northrop at the University of Minnesota Presents Tonight is one of our favorite nights of the year here at Northrop. It’s the night we reveal our plans for next season in a short video announcement immediately following the performance. I hope you will stay with us to hear what we have in store for the 2017 // 18 season. SCOTTISH But before we get to that point, tonight is already special because we have Scottish Ballet on our stage and a live orchestra in our pit. Scotland’s national dance company last dazzled us six years ago, when Northrop was under construction, so this is their first opportunity to perform BALLET on our new stage. We’re delighted to welcome them in this tartan-filled romp.

Matthew Bourne’s Highland Fling is another first—it is the Chief Executive/Artistic Director first time the choreographer has set one of his full-length CHRISTOPHER HAMPSON works on another company. Bourne was looking for dancers Christine Tschida. Photo by Tim Rummelhoff. who “look passionate about their dancing……like they really want to give to their audience.” You’ll see this quality, as well Executive Director as solid classical technique, in these young energetic dancers. Because Scottish Ballet engages a number of STEVEN ROTH different choreographers, the dancers are extremely versatile.

Creating strong characters on stage is also an important element of Bourne’s choreography. His approach Assistant Artistic Director asks the dancers to inhabit the character first, and the movement grows from there. For example, our HOPE MUIR hero, James, is a conflicted young man, disillusioned with his life. A bit of a thug, he seeks escape by night- clubbing and pill-popping, and Bourne's complex choreography embodies all of this. Even the smaller roles have their own quirks and distinct personalities. “To have the production come back to , Principal Conductor where it is set, and to have it made with dancers who live and work in Glasgow seems perfect,” says Bourne. RICHARD HONNER

There’s no denying that this version is a much grittier telling of the story of La Sylphide than August Bournonville’s misty and romantic original, but Bourne suggests that we may have the wrong notions Dancers about romanticism. “It’s about wildness and passion, and it’s raw,” Bourne claims. Still, the heart of the CONSTANCE DEVERNAY BETHANY KINGSLEY-GARNER story reveals the same perils of falling in love with a sprite when you could be settling down for a quiet life SOPHIE MARTIN CHRISTOPHER HARRISON with your fiancée. MARGE HENDRICK ARAMINTA WRAITH JAMIEL LAURENCE ANDREW PEASGOOD Thank you so much for being here tonight, and for making dance a part of your life. NICHOLAS SHOESMITH VICTOR ZARALLO
