WELCOME Here we are with the Michael Clark Company and the initial stop in its premiere U.S. tour. It is also the first concert in the Barclay’s 25th season line-up of international artists and entertainers, and the first company in its contemporary dance series, a bright and bold one to be sure.

When discussing the upcoming 25th season with a good friend recently, he paraphrased some Broadway musical theater lyrics that came to him suddenly.

From Follies: “Good times and bum times, I’ve seen them all…I’m still here” and from West Side Story: “Something’s coming. I don’t know what. But it’s gonna be great.”

He is savvy about the Broadway theater and Stephen Sondheim to a degree that I am not, but I appreciated the sentiment, that the Barclay has endured and prospered through all this time, with the promise of exciting things to come.

During the past 24 seasons, the City of Irvine, whose residents taxed themselves to build this performance space and have supported it since then, has grown into an amazing economic and residential environment. The University of California, Irvine, which partnered with the 2.3-acre parcel of land and has provided additional annual operating support, is now a top-ranked public university.

The theatre’s nonprofit operating company was a great invention back in 1986, a public/private group whose volunteer leadership and professional staff, combined with the participation of the city

and university, have made the clock tick and chime.

Now as then, the theatre itself presents an array of international artists of diversity and of top quality; provides a facility with extraordinary amenities and capabilities to community, regional and educational cultural organizations; and, hosts UCI activities which are as likely to be a visit by the Dali Lama, as a student symphony concert or a lecture on brain function by a distinguished scientist.

It is now decades of enthusiasm and support from citizens, public institutions, individual patrons, companies and foundations, artists, faculty, and audience members that have brought the Barclay to the threshold of its 25th season. How do we thank you all?

Michael Clark’s come, been and gone is made primarily to the music of David Bowie. It also embraces the work of key collaborators – Lou Reed and Brian Eno – and touches on some of his influences – the Velvet Underground, amongst others.

“Rock is my rock. It has been vital to me at a personal level; it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist.” – Michael Clark ABOUT MICHAEL CLARK COMPANY Hailed as “British dance’s true iconoclast,” Michael Clark is a defining cultural figure. Since emerging in the 1980s as a prodigy at London’s Royal Ballet School, he has remained at the forefront of innovation in dance, collaborating with – among others – such compelling artists as Sarah Lucas, Leigh Bowery, Peter Doig and Charles Atlas; and musicians Mark E. Smith, Wire, Scritti Politti and Relaxed Muscle.

From the outset, Michael Clark’s performances have been marked by a mixture of technical rigor, experimentation, and intense and fine-tuned choreography, intersecting with elements of punk, Dada, pop and rock. His productions repeatedly break new ground, provoking and electrifying audiences. As The Guardian noted of a recent performance at the Barbican, London: “Throughout the evening, the dancers’ prodigious command and affectless efficiency make them look superhuman.”

Michael Clark founded his own company in 1984. It has since toured worldwide and performed at leading houses in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, as well as on its home stage at the Barbican, where it has been a resident company since 2005. Michael Clark Company has also introduced dance to new audiences by performing at unorthodox venues, including the legendary Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in London and at the Whitney Biennial 2012 in New York, where the company occupied an entire floor for four weeks; and through Clark’s collaborations with leading artists, fashion designers and musicians.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS Michael Clark (Artistic Director/ Choreographer) was born in Scotland and trained at The Royal Ballet School in London (1975 -1979). In 1979, he joined Ballet Rambert, working primarily with Richard Alston.

Later, attending a summer school with Merce Cunningham and John Cage led him to work with Karole Armitage, through whom he met Charles Atlas. The first concert of his own choreography was in 1982 at London’s Riverside Studios, where he became resident choreographer. By 1984, Clark had made 16 original pieces. Michael Clark and Company was launched in

1984. The company was an immediate success and toured internationally. During this time, Clark collaborated with fashion designers Bodymap, artists Leigh Bowery and Trojan, as well as The Fall, Laibach, and Wire.

Clark’s commissions for major dance companies include the G.R.C.O.P., The Paris Opera, Scottish Ballet, London Festival Ballet, Ballet Rambert, Phoenix Dance Company and the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Clark has produced considerable work for film and video, including Hail the New Puritan (1984) and Because We Must (1989) with Charles Atlas. He also choreographed and danced the role of Caliban in Peter Greenaway’s Prospero’s Books (1991). After three years of commissions and solo work, he created the original version of Mmm... (1992) and O (1994). In 1998, he presented a new full-length work, current/SEE, in collaboration with Susan Stenger, Simon Pearson, Big Bottom and Hussein Chalayan, which became the subject of a BBC documentary, The Late Michael Clark, directed by Sophie Fiennes.

Before and After: The Fall (2001) was Clark’s first major collaboration with the visual artist Sarah Lucas. In 2003, Clark created the first Satie Stud for William Trevitt of George Piper Dances; produced an evening entitled Would, Should, Can, Did for the Barbican Theatre in London; and choreographed a solo for Mikhail Baryshnikov. In the same year, OH MY GODDESS opened London Dance Umbrella’s 25th anniversary season. In 2004, Rambert Dance Company revived SWAMP, which received the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production.

In 2005, Michael Clark became an artistic associate of the Barbican Centre, London and embarked on the Stravinsky Project, a three-year project that produced a trilogy of works using seminal dance scores by Igor Stravinsky. He radically reworked O and Mmm... for this project; and in 2007, he premiered the final part of the trilogy, I Do. The Stravinsky Project had its U.S. premiere at the Lincoln Center, New York in June 2008. In June 2009, Clark premiered come, been and gone at La Biennale di Venezia. This work has toured nationally and internationally for the past five years to great critical acclaim, including performances at the Edinburgh Internal Festival, the Barbican, London and the Melbourne International Arts Festival. In 2012, a new theatrical work premiered at the Barbican, London, amongst other international venues; and in 2013, this work was extended into the triple bill, animal / vegetable / mineral. It has been presented at The Lowry, again at the Barbican, and at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival in England. The show has also toured Scotland, Germany, Belgium and Finland.

Clark has also undertaken several large-scale projects in non-theatre spaces, including museums and galleries.

In 2010, the company spent the summer in residence at Tate Modern, London in preparation for a new, largescale performance commission for the Turbine Hall. The production, th, premiered in June 2011; and in 2012, Michael Clark presented WHO’S ZOO?, a specially commissioned piece for the Whitney Biennial in New York as well as The Barrowlands Project in Glasgow, part of the London 2012 Festival.

In 2011, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen conferred on Michael Clark an honorary degree of Doctor of Arts (Hon DArt) in recognition of his distinguished career in the field of

IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE | 5

choreography and dance; the first monograph on Michael Clark, celebrating the whole of his career to date, from the late 70s to the present, was published by Violette Editions.

Clark was awarded a CBE for services to dance in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in June 2014.

Charles Atlas (Lighting Designer) has been designing lighting for Michael Clark Company since 1984, though his primary work since the mid-1970s has been as a film director and video artist, producing media/dance works, multichannel video installations, feature-length documentaries, video art works for television and live electronic performances.

He has collaborated with numerous performers and choreographers, including Merce Cunningham, James Waring, Douglas Dunn, Karole Armitage, Phillippe Decouflé, Michael Clark, DANCENOISE, Bill Irwin, John Kelly, Richard Move, Diamanda Galás, Marina Abramović, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Yvonne Rainer, Johanna Constantine and Mika Tajima/New Humans. Atlas worked as filmmaker-in-residence with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company for ten years (1974-83). In more recent years (1999-2009), he again collaborated with Cunningham on new video/dance projects. He documented much of the choreographer’s repertory, culminating in the 2008 filming of Cunningham’s epic production of the 1994 work, Ocean. His film, Merce Cunningham: A Lifetime of Dance, a 90-minute international co-production for television, won the “Best Documentary” award at Dance Screen 2000 in Monaco.

Atlas has created several portraits of the late performance artist/fashion icon Leigh Bowery: the video installation, Teach (1998); the short film, Ms. Peanut Visits New York (1999); the multi-channel video installation, Dizzy Remix at Kunstverein Hannover in Germany (2008); and the documentary feature, The Legend of Leigh Bowery (2002). Atlas has created several large-scale gallery installations, which have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Aldrich Museum for Contemporary Art, CT; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Tate Modern, London. Other installation and video work has been shown at galleries and museums in New York and throughout Europe and the U.S. His most recent multichannel video installations were MC9 (2012), created for Museum De Hallen in Haarlem, Netherlands; The Illusion of Democracy (2012), shown at Luhring Augustine Bushwick, New York; and Glacier (2013), commissioned for the Bloomberg Space in London.

Since 2003, Atlas has been interested in exploring different contexts that exploit the use of live video.

Instant Fame (2003), shown at Participant, Inc. in New York and then remounted in London (2006) at the Vilma Gold Gallery, consisted of a series of real-time video portraits of performers and artists, created live in the gallery space. He created the live video component for Turning, a collaboration with Antony and the Johnsons, which premiered at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn in 2004 and later toured Europe in 2006. In 2012, Turning, a mixed-form documentary feature based on the European performances, had a theatrical release; it was released 6 | IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE

on DVD in early 2014. In 2011, he collaborated with Mika Tajima/New Humans on The Pedestrians, a 10-day continuous installation/performance presented at the South London Gallery.

Atlas has also collaborated with a variety of musicians (most extensively with Christian Fennesz and William Basinski) on a series of live video/music improvisation pieces, which he performed in Europe, Canada and the U.S. Charles Atlas and Collaborators, which was presented at the Tanks in the Tate Modern in 2013, included collaborations with choreographers Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud, performance artist Johanna Constantine and sound artist Helm.

Atlas has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, three “Bessie” (New York Dance and Performance) awards and was the 2006 recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts’ biennial John Cage Award.

Stevie Stewart (Costume Designer). Stevie Stewart – formerly one half of the innovative and influential fashion design label, Bodymap – now works with top creative names in fashion, music, film and advertising as a costume, set and production designer and a fashion stylist. She began collaborating with Michael Clark in 1984, creating memorable costumes for many of his productions. Other theatrical collaborations include costume design for Jan Willhem Van Den Bosch’s Mother Courage and Her Children for the Graeae Theatre Company, and costume design for The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by David Fielding for the Bristol Old Vic. Film credits include production design and costume design for Ruby Blue, directed by Jan Dunn, featuring Bob Hoskins and Josiane Balasko; costume design for Baillie Walsh’s Flashbacks of a Fool, starring Daniel Craig; and costume and production design for Jan Dunn’s The Calling.

Stevie has also designed costumes for several international music tours including Kylie Minogue’s KYLIEX2008 world tour and previous Showgirl and Homecoming international tours, as well as The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 tour. She collaborated with William Baker to design and produce a men’s swimwear and underwear line – B Boy. She also designs and consults for leading Italian fashion houses.

“Fashion lives for its moments of genius and this season, that moment is the reviving of the revolutionary style of Bodymap. In the early Eighties, Bodymap’s stretchjersey-body-contouring layers, designed by Stevie Stewart and David Holah, helped turn British fashion on its head.

This spring, labels as diverse as Cacharel and Louis Vuitton are nodding to the Bodymap style with cutouts and stretchy stripes. ‘We are rebelling against the conservative, the bland…We are striving for excitement,’ says Stewart.

That quest has lived on: she has forged a fertile career, consulting, directing adverts and designing sets… so the time is ripe to reissue some designs....”
