Eye Candy and Rouge: Rambert’s Summer Livestream
Two very different pieces and an exceptionally good evening’s viewing. Well done, Benoit Swan Pouffer
London & SE
The Royal Ballet School Summer Performance
A fine afternoon’s dancing, this year mostly by the Upper School, highlighted by Elite Syncopations
Gifford’s Circus: The Hooley
There’s lots of silly goings on along with the regular circus acts, music and dance
A complex emotional cocktail: Hofesh Shechter’s Political Mother: The Final Cut
A superb film that captures completely the spirit of the original, albeit with a slightly quieter, more reflective feel.
Rambert School: Next Generation
Rambert School Principal and Artistic Director Amanda Britton spoke for all when she said how happy everyone was to be back performing live
A summer special: English National Ballet’s Solstice
A little early maybe, but ENB’s Solstice at the Southbank proved a delicious smorgasbord of dance
Contemporary Cuts from Northern Ballet
In For an Instant, Lebrun achieves a sense of the fleeting through continual movement with unexpected changes in pace and gesture
A surfeit of letters: Northern Ballet in Dangerous Liaisons
David Nixon’s choreography is edgy and exciting throughout… the dancers are uniformly terrific… And yet…
As audacious as ever: Ben Duke in Lost Dog’s Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me)
The long build-up is deceptively naïve, the humour bordering on crass before the remarks sharpen and strike like a punch to the belly
Levantes Dance Theatre: The Band
A delightful fifty minutes of super physical theatre that sends you have with a warm feeling inside.
