What's OnRoom Of Cooks

Room of Cooks 1997

Choreographer Ashley Page
Music - Orlando Gough

Having received critical acclaim south of the border with The Royal Ballet where the piece was nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award, Ashley Page premieres this highly charged work in Scotland. A physical manifestation of the Steven Chambers painting of the same name, Room Of Cooks is a dark, brooding piece exploring the relationships between a woman, her husband and her lover. The intensely sexual tone of the piece is underscored by a sense of foreboding, and the tension of the piece is augmented by Orlando Gough’s atmospheric score.

“Scotland has a ballet company worthy of international status, led by an artistic director whose own outpouring is exciting, sexy and at the forefront of British dance” – The Scotsman

"Room of Cooks is a masterfully compressed dance drama." – The Guardian
