Robin Cousins' Ice comes to Exeter in February Half Term
A new winter show is to grace Westpoint, Exeter next year. Jamie Wilson, Paul Elliott and Duncan Weldon for Triumph Entertainment have announced that the brand new show 'Robin Cousins' ICE - The Skating Stage Experience’ will be coming to Westpoint, Exeter from Wednesday 19th February 2014 for five nights during February half term.
Olympic champion and head judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice, Robin Cousins has hand-picked the greatest ice skaters from around the globe to bring his incredible new production to life.
Dynamic and atmospheric, 'Robin Cousins' ICE will draw you into its unique world, where world class skaters glide, soar, flip and fly in a truly theatrical setting.
ICE features a powerful soundtrack of original music and reworked modern classics including music from Lady Gaga and Elton John.
Robin Cousins said: “It’s been 30 years since I created ‘Electric Ice’ which took to the stage and changed the look of ice shows. I am very excited to bring the daring and dazzling world of figure skating back into an intimate setting. Both of my previous shows, ‘Electric Ice’ and ‘Ice Majesty’, were created in the UK, and I’m very proud that the World Premiere of 'Robin Cousins' ICE will happen here too.
“The show is not an adaptation of a ballet, or borrowed from the world of musical theatre. There are no judges, just the audience. It is a show where the choreography is driven by the music, where the movement has room to breathe, and the skaters can let their blades do the talking. To be able to move like a skater is every dancer’s dream. To be motionless, yet travelling at great speed. Skaters are able to soar across the frozen stage in ways a dancer can only dream of doing.
“I have been working in ice skating for over 40 years, from my start in regional club competitions to World and Olympic Championships, choreography and performance for film, television, theatre and award winning arena ice show productions. Every new project brings its own challenges and I relish the chance to try something new with tried and tested ideas. I’m always pushing myself in new directions.”

The show will be at Westpoint, Exeter from Wednesday 19 February 2013 – Sunday 23 February 2013, with ten performances over the five days.
