With my works I always like to transport people to another world; to engage them. If I can succeed in this, I feel the process has been worthwhile. One of Britain’s leading choreographers, with an international reputation, Christopher Bruce trained at the Ballet Rambert School. He joined Ballet Rambert in 1963 where he was acclaimed as one of the most gifted performers of his generation, and remembered particularly for his performances in Glen Tetley’s Pierrot Lunaire and his own Cruel Garden. He is recognized as the last major choreographer to have been nurtured by Marie Rambert. Use the yellow felt pieces to create your rooster feet. Start by gauging the size needed - your hand span should be a good approximation to use. You will want to cut a hole about 3" in diameter at the point where your wrist starts on the felt. This will be the hole in which your child's foot will fit through.His most recent works include Three Songs, Two Voices (2005), A Steel Garden (2005), Hush (2006), Shift (2007), Dance at the Crossroads (2007), Ten Poems (2009), Fur Alina (2011) and Dream (2012).

It’s been great to return to it. The piece is basically the same wherever I stage it, but I’m always affected by the dancers I work with, therefore the way one dancer performs a role will always be slightly different to another dancing the same part. Awards include Evening Standard Award, 1974 and 1997; Prix Italia (for Television Production of Cruel Garden), 1982; International Theatre Institute Award for Excellence in International Dance, 1993; De Valois Award for Outstanding Contribution to Dance at Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards, 2003; Rheinische Post Theater Oscar for ‘A Evening of Work by Christopher Bruce’ at Theater Krefeld-Mönchengladbach 2004; Best Choreography, Critics’ Circle Awards, 2009. Christopher Bruce was awarded a C.B E in 1998; Honorary Doctor of Art from De Montfort University, 2000; Honorary Doctor of Letters from University of Exeter, 2001; Honorary Life Membership of Amnesty International, 2002. Honorary Visiting Professor, Exeter University 2009. Comment: Great costumes, excellent quality. Had such fun wearing my Queen of Hearts dress as did my partner the Mad Hatter. Great staff as well, thank you so much.Christopher has also choreographed for Tanz Forum, Cologne, the Batsheva Dance Company, Australian Dance Theatre, Nederlands Dans Theater, Cullberg Ballet, the Royal Danish Ballet, the Gulbenkian Ballet, Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, English National Ballet (where he was Associate Choreographer from 1986-91) and Houston Ballet (where he was Resident Choreographer from 1989-98 and subsequently Associate Choreographer) and most recently The Royal Ballet. He has choreographed for musicals, plays, operas television and videos. The dancers seem to really enjoy dancing it – but the piece is much harder than it looks. On stage it appears as if they are just having a lot of fun but the discipline that is required is exacting. I always say to the dancers that the choreography has to be as accurate as a Balanchine ballet. Comment: The womble costume was awesome at the festival this weekend. It has become a bit of a legend xxx Thank you so much 🙂 xxx

Mad Hatters Fancy Dress was opened in 2000 and now has over 3000 Costumes and Accessories. Our staff and are knowledgeable and ALWAYS here to help. Your costume is as important to us as it is to you. We want you to look the BEST. What I love about dance as an art form is that it doesn’t use words to nail down exactly what the piece is about. For me, dance is a collage of ideas which the audience can read on several levels. Every time they come to a performance they see something completely different, depending on their mood, and the performance on that particular occasion. Every viewing should be able to take you to another place.And don’t get us started on the supposed fringe benefits of those early mornings. The early bird may get the worm, but that’s cold comfort when you happen to be the kind of bird who prefers grains and bugs. Sure, the odd worm here and there is a fine change of pace, but it’s hardly something worth getting up early for. No, the rooster performs his daily task out of a sense of duty to his community, the satisfaction of a job well done, and the chance to gaze out on those sweet, sweet sunrises. (Also because he has a biological imperative that’s tied to the Earth’s rotation. But mostly those other things we mentioned.) All services are based on working days. Weekends, Bank Holidays and other closed days are not counted.
