Solidarity
My first two shows at this year’s Dance Base as part of the Edinburgh Fringe show the consummate taste of artistic director Tony Mills. Two brilliant young companies from the Basque Country perform very different, but no less thrilling, work.

White Space

“Ballet: the New Classic,” brainchild of fashion photographer Yumiko Inoue and K-Ballet Tokyo associate artist, Shohei Horiuchi, combines haute couture with innovative dance.

Transcending Limitations
It starts with a tiny, barely noticed jerk of a hand or arm. Just one simple gesture, and then all hell breaks loose. TF Cia de Dança brings what has to be one of the most frenzied, sweaty pieces of dance to the Edinburgh Festival.

Dance and the Metropolis
Midway through the new book Nonstop Bodies: How Dance Shaped New York City, author Rennie McDougall pivots away from a chapter on the modernism of George Balanchine and the slum-clearing process of creating his “temple at Lincoln Center” to flesh out another diasporic music and dance culture emanating out of Harlem during a similar time in history: mambo.

Vow of Stability
I have seen Megan Fairchild dance three times. The first was semi-unintentional—soon after moving to New York in the fall of 2024, I got one of those $30 for 30+ Under tickets and sat in the orchestra level on stage right.

Topographies of Dance
The first edition of the Tanztriennale in Hamburg, back in June, unfolded like an emotional topography: a landscape shaped by care rather than by theme; under the co‑direction of Monica Gillette and Gwen Hsin‑Yi Chang, Tanztriennale operated as a temporary commons: a place where choreography, conversation and community are allowed to influence one another.

Directing La Danse
In a context such as the Venice Biennale, where you can easily run into ballet stars across the Arsenale and dance alongside them in workshops, it felt especially apt to pay tribute to a filmmaker who, with extraordinary care, intelligence and unsentimental clarity, brought us so close to the hidden mechanics of dance: Frederick Wiseman.
