In 1988, the world of contemporary dance bore witness to an unprecedented collaboration.

University of Sussex graduate Shobana Jeyasingh, a choreographer then working exclusively with Indian classical music, teamed up with Michael Nyman, the hugely successful British composer, famed for his soundtracks to such films as The Piano, 9 Songs and The Libertine.

Nowadays, Anglo-Asian fusions are ten a penny but back then the resulting piece, Configurations, was a landmark event, involving its creators in some taxing cultural negotiations and spurring both on to new phases in their careers.

Now, following a chance meeting outside a hairdresser's, the pair are working together again - and have produced this touring double bill which Jeyasingh hopes will be "accessible and theatrical - if you are going to put something up on the stage then I think you enter into a kind of contract".

"What I find interesting about Michael's music," she says, "is that in one way it's got a classical feel to it, and yet it also has an edge, a sort of anxiety, which I associate with modern music.

"The average person will respond to his music, and in a very emotional way."

The second piece, Flicker, is set to electronic music - something which Jeyasingh has increasingly come to use but which Nyman found wholly alien.

She put him in touch with electronic composer and former collaborator Jurgen Simpson, who showed Nyman how to feed his composition into a computer and transform it with effects.

Nyman's digital debut becomes the backdrop for sleek, sharp, fragmented choreography based on the idea of breakdown and malfunction - "like snow on a computer screen". The piece will also see Jeyasingh using live motion capture for the first time, with stage movement fed into a computer program which alters and re-projects it so that "you see what is happening before your eyes in a different way."

Exit No Exit, meanwhile, features Nyman's newly-arranged score for bass clarinet and string quartet and draws on Jeyasingh's rich palette of classical Indian, British contemporary dance and martial arts.

"There are two narratives," Jeyasingh explains. "There's a dancer who never exits while the rest do as you'd expect them to.

"It makes you think about what it is to use a stage - does it have any relation to real space?

"But yes, the dancer does exit at the end. Finally we allow her to go to the hotel and have a rest."
