Russell Maliphant Company: The Rodin Project (2011-2013)

Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London

A languorous erotic passage in which a bare-breasted Carys Staton and a wholly naked Jennifer White respectively embody (or so it seemed to me) a sexuality which is burnished by familiarity, and one which is alluring, mysterious and, ultimately, beyond reach

Description of Jenny’s role

The driving forcefulness is mesmeric, punctuated by brief oases of calm, sensual relaxation. The best of the latter comes in a hedonistic solo by White moving with the slow grace of a swan
