Something old, something new. Limón Dance Company in Mazurkas and Join
As in Mazurkas, everyone performed with superb assurance. There was power, there was grace, there was beauty. Join draws you in and never lets go.
Aszure Barton
San Francisco Ballet in Aszure Barton’s Mere Mortals
The dancing is powerful, the ensemble injecting a sense of great scale. As befits a work inspired by technological developments. the backing projections are impressive. The score by Sam Shepherd (aka Floating Points) is terrific
Luck/Unluck with Gauthier Dance
In new works by Hofesh Shechter and Aszure Barton, the company’s dancers were fabulous and mesmerising, and sucked us into two strange worlds almost devoid of references to reality, but full of emotion
Radical Classical with Gauthier Dance Juniors
A rollercoaster of sheer fun, erotic display and a quiet moment of reflection in a programme of seven pieces by seven choreographers all to classical music.
