Taiwan’s Tjimur Dance Theatre visit with bulabulay mun? (How are you?)
Baru Madiljin explains that, while the work does not describe what happened over 150 years ago, he hopes viewers will feel fragments of memories
The Place
Frauke Requardt and Vivienne Franzmann: Anatomy of Survival
The story revolves around a woman trying to buy a coffee, and the barista not understanding what she wanted.
Jazz Arts ReWired
The quality of the dancing was excellent, with the men out-performing the women in cleanness of lines, and wonderfully precise syncopation
Ella Tighe: Disco Queen
An hour of monologue, interspersed with freestyle dance routines but does feel like a set of unconnected routines rather than a single dance work.
Gary Clarke Company: Detention
“Extremely hard-hitting and impactful dance-docu-drama… Everything about Detention works.”
Modern Table in Ham:beth
The six dancers present sequence after sequence of precise, tight, intricate, and repetitive dance, that certainly hits the spot.
Korea National Contemporary Dance Company: Jungle
An hour of extraordinary dance and mesmerising choreography as 16 dancers bring the jungle to the stage, to a music by Marihiko Hara.
Northern School of Contemporary Dance: VERVE 2025
As an ensemble, they moved as one when required to do so. Individually, they were interpretive and wholly engaging.
In The Bushes by Léa Tirabasso
“A strange piece; and strangely compelling… thought provoking, at times humorous, highly original, if abstract-feeling dance”
A Cuban butterfly: Mariposa by DeNada Dance Theatre
It is important to remember that it is inspired by Madam Butterfly, however, and is not a retelling, as difficult as I found that.
Gandini Juggling: Heka
As if being able to juggle and dance weren’t enough, Sean Gandini and his company have added magic to the mix.
