  • 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.

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.
