Royston Maldoom OBE Retrospective and Gwen's Place and Ray Winstone

EDINBURGH CHOREOGRAPHIC PROJECT presents

Royston Maldoom OBE Retrospective

Following an extremely successful collaboration in 2013, the Edinburgh Choreographic Project presents an evening of modern dance devised by the international choreographer Royston Maldoom OBE.

Black Earth 
this haunting music composed by one of Turkey’s best-known classical composers Fazil Say, choreographed originally for the Ballet San Marcos in Lima, Peru in 2011.


The Confession of Isobel Gowdie 
set to Scottish composer James MacMillan’s dynamic score, “The confession of Isobel Gowdie” is dedicated to the memory of the last woman to stand trial for witchcraft in Scotland in 1662.


Adagietto No.5 
the slow movement of Mahler's 5th Symphony, was Royston’s first attempt at choreography, originally presented at a Royal Ballet Open Workshop in the mid seventies.


Hook
Created for Ballet San Marcos in Lima, Peru, Hook is a very energetic, light hearted work redesigned for Edinburgh Choreographic Project’s Tour. It is set to the music of Graham Fitkin, from his album of the same name.


Edinburgh Choreographic Project is known for its high caliber of dancers. Through connection with the widest possible communities, it aims to bring an awareness, understanding and enjoyment of contemporary dance.

Canongate presents
Sexy Beast + Q&A with Ray Winstone
GFT
9th October 7pm £12

Famous for his uncompromising roles, Ray Winstone is the nation’s favourite “hard man" and a beloved British icon. To launch his autobiography, Young Winstone, Canongate have partnered with independent cinemas across the UK to show one-off screenings of two of his most celebrated films, alongside interviews with the man himself.

Sexy Beast was cited by Total Film as one of the top 15 films of all time and arguably Winstone's most acclaimed film to date. In it he plays "Gal" Dove, a happily married retired thief dragged back into London's underworld by a former associate psychopath Don Logan, played by Ben Kingsley who won an Oscar for best supporting role.

At this exclusive event, Ray will reflect on his early life and reveal how growing up in the working-class East End of London and a rebellious adolescence led him to become one of the most charismatic actors of his generation.
