Reviews
A picture of humanity: Maguy Marin’s May B.
An homage to Irish dramatist and novelist Samuel Beckett’s universe, but also a work that in many ways holds up a mirror to ourselves.
Ballet Black: Heroes
Laplane whose Click was such a delight, returns with a new creation, If At First, that explores heroism, a noble quality and worthy of investigation
Scottish Ballet: A Streetcar Named Desire
There is something special about watching Blanche, danced superbly by Marge Hendrick, on her self-destruct journey in the language of dance
A glimpse into 1930s Paris in Rendez-Vous Dance’s The Monocle
The Monocle shines a light on a fascinating moment in social history. The cast give it everything they have.
BRB2: Carlos Acosta’s Classical Selection
If this Saturday matinée at a sold out Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham is anything to go by, BRB2 are well worth catching again
Duato, Skeels and Eyal at the Bayerisches Staatsballett
The three pieces are about the death of woman, the extinction of a whole society and a world in which people seem closed in on themselves
Kate Prince and ZooNation’s Message in a Bottle comes to the big screen
The ‘Message’ is going wider. Sadler’s Wells team up with the Royal Opera House and Universal Pictures to release the hit show on film.
Up-close and full-on: Rambert in Analogue
A short programme, just one 50-minute number, but pure gold in terms of amazing dance in a no-frills package.
Youth Ballet Ensemble Taiwan x BAOTanz
The young dancers of YBET were sadly nowhere to be seen in a double bill that was, in fact, a showcase for four of Taiwan’s established artists.
Carlos Acosta: On Before
Acosta remains a fantastic partner and performer. The equally mesmerising Laura Rodríguez comfortably matches him for presence.
