Student of the Month: Alexander Whitley
Our boy Alex Whitley is Yoga on the Lane's latest Student of the Month. He went to the Royal Ballet School with Naomi which led to a long dancing career with Birmingham Royal Ballet, Rambert and Michael Clark, before he started choreographing his own work. His latest piece, Eight Minutes, is on at Sadlers Wells Tuesday and Wednesday this week and there are still tickets left. We suggest you go, go, go, as it's going to be amazing. As he says of it:
Igniting our imaginations with spectacular forces and overwhelming scales, space exploration constantly reshapes how we understand ourselves and our place in the universe. For his new work Alexander Whitley takes inspiration from the stunning images and data produced by solar science research in a collaboration with scientists from STFC RAL Space. With a specially created score by the electroacoustic music innovator Daniel Wohl and an installation of high-definition imagery from BAFTA award-winning visual artist Tal Rosner, 8 Minutes creates a striking, immersive environment of dance, music and film to illuminate our relationship with the star that gives us life.
