A masterclass in building humour through movement. The Royal Ballet in La Fille mal gardée
A masterclass in building humour through movement… Sunny, innocent, orderly, and just absurd enough to keep it from becoming sentimental.
Tianyi Li
Lyre Liar by Liam Francis Dance Company
A solo work that traces Francis’ journey in dance, moving between performance and personal reflection.
Breakin’ Convention 2026: Friction
Contemporary dance, krump, and street-based forms intersected and overlapped in an evening that reflected the diversity of hip hop today.
Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg: The Great Chevalier
There is something wonderfully slippery about The Great Chevalier. At its centre is M. Chevalier, played with delicious comic authority by Louis Chevalier.
Resolution 26: Room Dance Company, Kirstin Halliday, Lilah Bobak
An evening that reflected how contemporary choreography increasingly extends beyond movement into installation, ecology, costume and multimedia
Resolution 26: MANACAN, Shea Sullivan, Jie Gao and Wally Groves
A varied selection of choreographic voices… Every work showed a different sense of direction, whether through ideas, energy or physical presence
Resolution 26: Fin de Fiesta, JJ James, Lauren Scott
Three works that approach dance from very different directions. Movement functioned as performance, but also a way of listening, gathering and questioning
Resolution 26: Mia Segal, Greta Gauhe & Deborah Dimeglio, Hui-Hsin Lu
From theatrical storytelling, to an intimate duet built around physical touch, to an abstract collaboration between movement and installation
Resolution 26: Megan Westpfel Co, Wild Guess and Ming-Chin Hsieh
Some works appear fully formed, while others feel provisional, still in dialogue with larger ideas yet to come… energy emerges as a shared currency
Resolution 26: Maya Inniss, Aurora Casatori, Ty Burrows
Across the evening, each work investigates the combination of different art forms as a means of shaping a personal artistic language.
Resolution 26: Sana El-Wakili, Esther Cheong, Paxton Ricketts
Sound repeatedly insists on being more than accompaniment. It presses into the choreography, shaping timing, attention and pressure on the body
