Dancing from the ceiling

“Start off by swinging from the chandeliers.” Mark Baldwin has been appointed artistic director of the prestigious Rambert Dance Company. The Fijian-born Baldwin, who danced with Limbs Dance Company and New Zealand ballet before moving to London, performed with Britain’s oldest dance company for nine years. He is already thumbing through his address book with a view to commissioning work from young composers, and noted that his dancers are “hungry, hungry, hungry” for original choreography.
