Ice Hot: Danish Dance Theater

For two weeks, Nordic contemporary dance at its best comes to The Joyce in this delightful festival focusing on Tero Saarinen Company, Danish Dance Theatre, Carte Blanche, three of the hottest companies performing anywhere today.

Ice Hot continues with Danish Dance Theatre performing Love Songs, a sensual, evening-length piece by British-born, Artistic Director Tim Rushton (MBE – Member of the order of the British Empire), who has created an intimate portrait of love in a jazzy universe. The music, composed of cherished jazz classics from the good old days originally sung by legendary artists Ella, Louis, Billy, and Sarah, is reinterpreted by Denmark’s great jazz artist Caroline Henderson. A work that is both warm and intimate, Love Songs reveals the lifelong journey to find love as the piece moves from scenes of dingy realism to kitschy night club cruising.
