Ballet Nights 008
Nemesis is a real juicy nugget of a work, one that makes you want to see more of Ihsan Rustem’s choreography and Ballett Augsburg.

Not everyone can carry off Forsythe because it’s about so much more than just steps… English National Ballet have embodied the style fully.
The company are set to perform works by Martha Graham and Crystal Pite, a new ballet by Kameron N. Saunders, and some old favourites
The visits of Tiler Peck and Friends and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater garner both two awards, with the De Valois lifetime award going to Ian Webb.
In what is the best year yet for diversity, the nominations are spread across a record 29 separate companies
A triple-bill of Balanchine’s Serenade, Forsythe’s In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated, and the new Strangelove by Andonis Foniadakis
New and unfamiliar works rub shoulders with old favourites, with Sergio Bernal’s The Thinker the unexpected highlight of a super evening
The 2024-25 season also includes a new work by William Forysythe as part of a Forsythe evening, and both the company’s Giselles.
Proximity was highlight of the second half. Choreographed and performed by Pett|Clausen-Knight, it is a mature, sophisticated duet
Pick of the evening was Robert Battle’s The Hunt. About the predatory side of human nature, it’s intense. Very intense.
A fine evening with plenty of variety; and one not dominated by nineteenth-century fireworks.
