Nice one Paul. I wonder which Gilbert soundtracked piece he did... or could it have been new work... ? unlikely I'd say... The woman with the Gilbert/Hampson/Kendall album title surname is Will Self's missus. Self was blogging about it recently: "To the Barbican for our annual works outing to see the Michael Clark Companybs latest offering. True, I am not a great connoisseur of modern dance, but I still have an instinctive feeling that Clark is a great choreographer (instinct, and Mrs S to apprise me). Woody Allen once wrote a savage spoof of avant garde ballet, attributing the most pretentious and ridiculous sentiments to these gyrations and curvets, but I sense nothing of that coming from Clarkbs work, which seems all at once to fold the narrative into the symbolic, while wryly skipping around both with sheer kinetics. It helps, of course, that his troupe dances to the Velvet Underground."
