Choreographer: Christopher Bruce

Christopher Bruce, choreographer and artistic director of the Rambert Dance Company, set his 'Moonshine' to eight unfamiliar songs by Bob Dylan from the early sixties: 'Paths of Victory', 'Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues', 'House Carpenter', 'Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues', 'Quit Your Low Down Ways', 'No More Auction Block', 'Man on the Street', and 'Moonshiner'. The scenes from these songs form the starting point for 'Moonshine'.

The idea for this work was that Bruce could rely on the experience and artistry of a cast of mature dancers, rather than the athletic physicality of the youth.
