Come, Been and Gone

BOX OFFICE: 0114 2496000

Michael Clark Company returns to the Lyceum, Sheffield as part of the Danceworks season with his latest work come, been and gone evolving from Michael Clark's admiration for the music of rock's holy trinity: David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, who worked in close proximity during the 1970s.  The production includes Bowie's iconic song "Heroes".

Rock is my rock.  It has been vital to me at a personal level; it has shaped me as an individual as well as an artist  Michael Clark.

Michael Clark creates work that combines his classical fluency with a twisted contemporary sensibility that embraces embarrassment, doubt and fear, as well as grace, virtue and control.  He is renowned for his legendary collaborations with bands, fashion designers and visual artists including Wire, BodyMap, Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Sarah Lucas.
