If you're new to contemporary dance I suggest you look at works by Christopher Bruce (Swan Song, Ghost Dances, Rooster are all good to start with) and for a light hearted piece try Matthew Bournes' Nutcracker!. If you like your art a bit more abstract try Richard Alston's Overdrive. If you like something darker & more theatrical try DV8 - Dead Dreams of Monochrome Men is very disturbing! Or Vtol (if you can get their stuff on Video or DVD) Hope you find something you like!
