New Adventures, Matthew Bourne’s award-winning company New Adventures is proud to be a truly national dance-theatre company, touring across the UK and is Britain’s leading exporter of dance. For over 30 years Matthew Bourne and his company New Adventures have changed the popularity of dance in Britain, creating works that have altered the public perception of what is possible when it comes to telling stories without words. New Adventures is passionate about diversifying the dance landscape and investing in the future of dance, through delivering inclusive projects for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, and developing and inspiring emerging artists. In 2015 New Adventures became an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation enabling us to grow and develop our work on and offstage. Since 1986 Matthew Bourne has created 12 full-length productions and a triple bill of short works. This award-winning repertoire has inspired and thrilled millions of people worldwide. Perhaps best- known for its now legendary Swan Lake with its corps de ballet of menacing male swans, New Adventures’ intriguing twists on the ballet classics also include Nutcracker!, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Car Man based on the opera Carmen and Highland Fling based on La Sylphide set in contemporary Glasgow. Bourne has also been inspired by film and literature in his innovative productions of Edward Scissorhands, Dorian Gray, Play Without Words and Lord of the Flies, which united professional dancers and young men with no previous dance experience. His most recent creation was Romeo and Juliet which premiered in 2019 and saw professional New Adventures dancers perform alongside local casts aged 16-19 from across the UK. It was a huge success and launched the dance careers of many new graduates.

  • Bourne, Matthew (B
    Bourne, Matthew (b. 1960) by Craig Kaczorowski Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Matthew Bourne, perhaps the most acclaimed British choreographer working today, is best known for his updatings and deconstructions of classic ballets. His restaging of Prokofiev's Cinderella takes place during the London Blitz of 1940; Highland Fling, his re-appraisal of the classic La Sylphide, is set in Glasgow's underground drug scene; The Car Man, a gender-reversed re-imagining of the opera Carmen, takes place in an auto repair garage and features graphically choreographed same-sex seduction. Bourne's most notorious, and acclaimed, production is an eroticized Swan Lake, with an all-male pack of bare-chested, aggressive swans. It was quickly dubbed the "gay Swan Lake" by both the British and American press. Biographical Details Born into a working-class family on January 13, 1960, Matthew Bourne grew up in Walthamstow, East London. He inherited a love of theater and Hollywood musicals from his parents, who supported his growing interest in the performing arts. At an early age Bourne began imitating the movies he saw at the local cinema; his father helped build sets and his mother provided props and costumes. Bourne's early productions, attended by friends and neighbors, included reenactments of such children's classics as Lady and the Tramp and Mary Poppins. Already developing his own style and vision, he staged his first version of Cinderella at the age of eight, with boys playing the girls' roles and girls in the boys' roles.

  • The Car Man Digital Programme 3.62 MB
    A NEW ADVENTURES AND ILLUMINATIONS PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH SKY AND MORE2SCREEN Front page DIGITAL DOWNLOAD PROGRAMME WELCOME TO THIS 20TH ANNIVERSARY DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF NEW ADVENTURES THE CAR MAN The piece had its World Premiere on 16th May 2000 at Theatre Royal Plymouth and quickly became one of the most popular works in our repertory. This is the last revival that we produced of the piece in 2015 starring Christopher Trenfield as Luca, Zizi Strallen as Lana, Dominic North as Angelo, Kate Lyons as Rita and Alan Vincent (the original “Car Man” in 2000) here switching roles as Dino Alfano (a role created by the late, great, Scott Ambler). When we last performed this production at Sadler’s Wells for a Summer Season in 2015, we tragically lost a much-loved colleague and company member, Jonathan Ollivier. Although Jonny does not appear in this performance, all of us at New Adventures would like to dedicate this screening to Jonny’s memory with our love. Once again, the production is brilliantly captured by Ross MacGibbon to create as close to a live experience as is possible. I have included the interview which featured in our 2015 programme by way of introduction to this download. So, Fasten Your Seatbelts…. and enjoy!
