The experience of watching John Curry, Toller Cranston, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, working with Ice Theatre productions for over 10 years and the incredible collaboration with Balbir Singh on our previous flagship projects; Synchronised and Peacock Lake on Ice, has led me to produce, The Creative Spirit of John Curry.
Staging a pure Theatre on Ice Performance, where ice skating is presented as an art form, in all its beauty and intricacy, where the artists and dancers, each bring something special to the creation of this unique choreography, unlike any of the current commercial ice shows.
John Curry, Olympic Champion created an ice-skating revolution, being the first to blend the fluid balletic expressiveness with athletic virtuosity, turning ice skating into a beautiful art on ice. Described as Nureyev on ice, he possessed an artistry that spoke to a worldwide audience, with his Theatre of Skating performing in the Royal Albert Hall and the MET.
John Curry’s love of ballet and dance and his creative collaboration with many famous choreographers inspired me to produce The Creative Spirit of John Curry. Not just showcasing the art of ice skating, but highlighting the intricate fusion of art and dance, where the cast of skaters and dancers work as one ensemble, creating a magical theatrical experience for the audience.
