The Royal Ballet: Romeo and Juliet
Anna Rose O’Sullivan stole the performance with depiction of a headstrong, intuitive, naïve, madly in love teenager
In The Bushes by Léa Tirabasso
“A strange piece; and strangely compelling… thought provoking, at times humorous, highly original, if abstract-feeling dance”

The Rose International Dance Prize: Encantado (Lia Rodrigues), Beings (Shimmering Productions)

Compagnie Focus & Chaliwaté: Dimanche
Tenret takes the audience through every emotion. There are searingly sad moments… frightening moments, and very funny moments.
