High altitude: Compagnie de Chaillot in Rachid Ouramdane’s Corps extrêmes
Something special and quite unique. It’s not so much what the performers do, as remarkable as that is, but how they do it; the ease, grace…
Focus Dance Company: Tempestuous
A rich and diverse programme of one masterwork, one popular revival and eight new student works… All were superbly danced.

Dance, installation, music, protest, affirmation: Bintou Dembélé’s G.R.O.O.V.E.

Motionhouse: Hidden
Artistic director Kevin Finnan’s works are always deeply thought, but I’m not sure any has reached out and touched as Hidden.
Varna International Ballet: Romeo and Juliet
