Organised by the British Council Vietnam, this is part of the East Asia tour of the acclaimed James Cousins dance company.
The show will be performed at the Youth Theatre in Hanoi on October 22 and at the IDECAF stage in Ho Chi Minh City on 25 and 26.
Apart from staged performances, James Cousins and his dancers will deliver a dance workshop with choreographers and dancer students at Vietnam’s Military University of Culture and Arts on 23 October.
“Without Stars” and “There We Have Been” are two touching and emotionally charged pieces of work with intense folding, wrapping and balancing. The pieces were inspired by the troubled relationships beautifully portrayed in the novel Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.
A graduate of London Contemporary Dance School, James Cousins founded the dance company in 2012 with creative producer Francesca Moseley to explore new ideas with his team of collaborators and to tour his critically acclaimed productions throughout the UK and internationally. Also in 2012, James Cousins won the inaugural Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures Choreography Award. James Cousins was recognised by Time Out magazine as one of the future faces of dance.
