A memorable evening in Hamburg: Nijinsky Gala XLVII
A long evening with some of the best dance on the planet and memorable performances
A long evening with some of the best dance on the planet and memorable performances
Boosted by visitors from Vienna State Ballet and Stuttgart Ballet, an evening of dance and music of amazing quality and variety
It was a super afternoon, but you really do have to pinch yourself to remind yourself that they are all still in their late-teens
A production… that can rightly be called a triumph… the dance was virtuosic, the speed incendiary and the vitality never flagged
This years’ works were thought provoking and relevant with the black humour of Sam Coren’s Story Telling for Earthly Survival, coming tops
In Frederick Ashton’s Rhapsody, Rin Ishikawa’s speed, focus and attack were phenomenal.
Lave appears as a strong yet endangered being of some sort. Her focus is engaged, her stage presence self-assertive and impactful
Many of the seven pieces were deeply thoughtful and somewhat dark in tone; a reflection of the times and recent experiences, no doubt
It perhaps isn’t surprising to see another show purporting to examine gender fluidity but El Salto could not be more different to ¡Viva!
Fantastic dance but the music… so much more than accompaniment. It’s the source of everything. The emotional incentive, the rhythmical propeller
We had been promised something new and refreshing for this long-awaited Flamenco Festival, and in ¡Viva! we certainly got it.
