MORGANN RUNACRE-TEMPLE
CHOREOGRAPHER
'Morgann Runacre-Temple’s joyfully weird ‘Hotel’ is a highlight in this trio of short works that focus on music. At the heart of Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Into the Music triple bill, there lurks a malevolent goose. Morgann Runacre-Temple’s new Hotel is a surreal look behind the scenes, using film and dance to evoke a workplace full of scurrying porters, plotting chefs, and stern management.' The Independent
'Darkly comic, fascinating combination of dance and film is the stand out in this triple bill. Nothing short of brilliant' The Stage
'In between comes Hotel, a piece so contemporary it hurts. Made by choreographer Morgann Runacre-Temple and film-maker Jessica Wright, with a clever monochrome setting by Linbury prize winner Sami Fendall, it’s a dystopian vision of a hotel as prison, mixing film both live and projected with the dance to create a clever and surreal space where anything can happen. The movement is consistently interesting, punchy and spiky, and the shifts in focus from close-up to long-shot genuinely intriguing' The Guardian
