		When I went to see the Rambert Dance Company last year at Snape, it was the first time I had ever been to see contemporary dance.
		I was stunned by the energetic dancers, atmospheric lighting and the sheer emotion of choreography that did not necessarily tell a story but could still express the mood and ideas of the music..
		When I saw this on the program I assumed, wrongly, it was a repeat of the first item in their previous tour, but this was a different dance entirely.

	- Rambert at Snape Maltings, April 15th
		Snape got a different programme from anywhere else on Rambert's current tour - starting and ending with the pieces by Rafael Bonachela and Michael Clark which have been seen elsewhere, but filled out with a different Mahler ballet (Dark Elegies instead of Songs of a Wayfarer) and real Ashton instead of reworked Ashton (hooray).
		I'd guess the Snape stage, which has no wings, had something to do with the change, but whatever the reason, the result was a very satisfying programme.
		Bonachela's Irony of Fate is a fine showpiece for the clarity and strength of Amy Hollingsworth's dancing, and it's also more than that: interesting and cogent, it's the piece I like most so far from this choreographer.
