This much needed new production looks a treat… Paul Pyant’s video design is very good… Dick Bird’s sets are glorious… Act Two is a riot of colour
A celebration of black dancers past and present. “A packed evening of a dozen short dance works brimming with talent.”
A ballet of fine intentions. A ballet of plenty of fine moments that, at times, is quite powerful. But also one in need of stronger thread to hold it together
David Mead talks to Wubkje Kuindersma and Seeta Patel, two of the five female choreographers for BRB’s new ‘Luna’
The highlight of the company’s inaugural programme is undoubtedly Kenneth MacMillan’s Ballade.
High standards and diverse repertory, including the much awaited revival of Kenneth MacMillan’s Ballade, and Arielle Smith’s new Five Dances
Ahead of its extensive UK and overseas tour, David Mead talks to London City Ballet artistic director Chris Marney about the company’s relaunch.
Premiering in Birmingham (October 3-5, 2024) before moving to Sadler’s Wells (October 22-23), Luna is a two-act abstract ballet in six movements
Directed by Christopher Marney, it will return to the stage in summer 2024, touring across the UK, including a week at Sadler’s Wells that autumn.
Without doubt, the highlight is Jonathan Payn’s beautifully crafted Iken, a gently lyrical classical ballet to Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony
