New Kids on the Block
In the second week of February, an ensemble of young and remarkably accomplished dancers presented a lovely and generously conceived programme just beyond the Paris city limits, at the Théâtre des Sablons in Neuilly-sur-Seine, as part of a tour spanning not only several French cities but also Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Malaysia. The evening unfolded as a carefully balanced succession of styles, allowing the dancers to reveal both technical assurance and interpretative maturity. Overall, the cohesion of the ensemble and the clarity of their stage presence matched those of an established professional company. Yet this was not, strictly speaking, the...

Tempests of Love
Oh to love and be loved, what a beautiful mess it is. Nobody captures the contradictions of passion quite like Pina Bausch, whose “Sweet Mambo” is cast in her signature silly-meets-sincere mould—another treat for us Bausch bods out here, less fetching perhaps if you’re not a fan of her highly mannered house style.

Steps in Time
The National Ballet of Japan’s annual triple bill of dance, “Ballet Coffret” binged on three neoclassical favorites this year: David Dawson’s “A Million Kisses to my Skin” (2000) Hans van Manen’s “5 Tango’s” (1977) and George Balanchine’s “Themes and Variations” (1947).

Tend the Garden
The modern classic “Le Parc” by Angelin Preljocaj is a masterpiece that never ceases to interrogate the dialectic of nature and culture, confronting human behaviour as shaped by societal norms or driven by raw emotion.

Forty Years and No Slowing Down
From its first steps in 1986 as Dundee Rep Dance Company with at the helm, to the present day, Scottish Dance Theatre has sealed it's reputation as a forward-thinking company who pushes the limits of what dance can do.

Recital Revival
Few established artists hold recitals anymore. The word “recital” feels both elementary and antiquated, evoking either children parading across an auditorium stage or a nineteenth-century drawing room where the gentry whisper secrets around a pianoforte.

It’s not often that one gets to hear a soprano recital in an up-close-and-personal setting. And it’s even rarer that said soprano has a pair of dancers moving about the stage as part of the performance.
