Matthew Bourne
Sir Matthew Christopher Bourne (born 13 January 1960) is a British choreographer. His productions contain many classic cinema and popular culture references and draw thematic inspiration from musicals, film noir and popular culturePopular novels and films usually form the basis for his work but Bourne's dance adaptations are ''sui generis'', distinct from their originals. For example, his 1995 restaging of Tchaikovsky's ''Swan Lake'' updated the ballet's setting, narrative and famously used all-male swans.
Workshops, collaboration and the innevitable dialogue with the original works inform many of his adaption's choreographical routines and thematic concepts. For his 1997 reimagining of [https://new-adventures.net/cinderella#overview Cinderella], Bourne invoked the Victorian and Edwardian eras by disseminating certain books and novels from those time periods amongst the production's cast members.
His New Adventures dance company's work covers ballet, contemporary dance, dance theatre and musical theatre.
His adaptations of ''Sleeping Beauty'', ''Edward Scissorhands'', ''The Red Shoes'', ''Dorian Gray'', and ''Lord of the Flies'' added new dimensions to these near-ubiquitous stories. Bourne's recent work, ''The Midnight Bell'', sets Patrick Hamilton's 1929 novel in a pub, and Bourne's ''Romeo and Juliet'' put the tragedy's mental health and youth suicide themes centre stage.
In 2016, he was knighted as part of Queen Elizabeth II 2016 New Year Honours list for 'Services to Dance'. Provided by Wikipedia
