Hansel and Gretel – Colour House Theatre

November 2, 2021 Last updated: November 2, 2021 11:32 am By Marian Kennedy

Hansel and Gretel - Colour House Theatre

The Colour House Children’s Theatre is a tiny seventy seater theatre situated in the heart of the attractive Merton Abbey Mills arts village. The theatre opened in 1995 in a five-hundred-year-old listed building and since then it has staged over 80 original musical adaptations of famous fairy stories and more than 100,000 people have viewed their productions. There are little theatres like this all over England and they are an important theatrical entry point for both children and performers … [Read more...]

Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch – Bluebeard | Review

February 13, 2020 Last updated: February 16, 2020 9:57 pm By Marian Kennedy

Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch by Maarten Vanden Abeele.

Did you enjoy it? Not much. Did you admire it? Yes. Why? The energy of the movement on stage. The talent and charisma of the new young dancers. Only the two central characters are ‘familiars’ part of the company when Bausch died. (This is her modern legacy.) The work’s contemporary themes interrogating an individual’s capacity for control in society, the subjugation of women and the immolation that’s controlling, surrendering obsessive need dressed as love. And yet Bluebeard was devised by … [Read more...]

Michael Keegan-Dolan / Teaċ Daṁsa – MÁM at Sadler’s Wells

February 6, 2020 Last updated: February 6, 2020 7:53 pm By Marian Kennedy

MÁM - credit Ros Kavanagh Sadlers Wells.

Following the runaway success of creator and choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan with his fabulous Loch na hEala there’s been a sense of excitement about his work and originality. Performed by his twelve strong company of international contemporary dancers, Teac Damsa, MÁM is the first work since Loch na hEala Keegan-Dolan has brought to Sadler’s Wells from where he lives and works in County Kerry. Created in collaboration with his dancers it’s intended to reflect that place from which it … [Read more...]

Annual Dance Taster Festival: Sadler’s Wells Sampled 2020

February 2, 2020 Last updated: February 2, 2020 7:26 pm By Marian Kennedy

Sampled – Sadler’s Wells

Sampled at Sadler’s Wells is always fun. Short bursts of different genres of dance performed to different styles of music equates energy. It’s not for children but the format suits their attention spans and they come, dressed in glitter and audibly expressing their enjoyment. It’s not a staid experience. It is an occasion when extracts of some of the work that will be shown at Sadler’s and the Peacock during the forthcoming year are available to be tried to see if the various forms will be … [Read more...]

Radio & Juliet – Faun – MсGregor + Mugler | Review

December 8, 2019 Last updated: December 8, 2019 6:49 pm By Marian Kennedy

MuzArts presents 'Radio and Juliet' performed by Stars of the Bolshoi photo by Maximov.

The famous duet, the Faun, describing the meeting and joining of two woodland spirits by way of the distinguished choreographer, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and the gorgeous music of Claude Debussy usually thrills and this performance in Act II of a triple bill of dance at the London Coliseum certainly does. Vaychesla Lopatin, a principal dancer of the Markinsky Ballet performs in the duet with the athleticism demanded of the role while Anastasia Stashkevich is appealingly fey in this production as … [Read more...]

The Snowman – Birmingham Repertory Theatre | Review

November 24, 2019 Last updated: November 24, 2019 8:53 pm By Marian Kennedy

Birmingham Repertory Theatre - The Snowman - Credit Tristram Kenton

The Snowman is an annual favourite at The Peacock Theatre. Without dialogue the music and songs composed by Howard Blake and played by an orchestra that’s present lead the tone and cracking pace of the show, capable of being understood by the smallest members of the audience. The magical illusions of theatre are described on entry to the auditorium even before the show has begun by way of the displayed dramatic set designed by Ruari Murchinson with lighting by Tim Mitchell creating the effect … [Read more...]

Review of Acosta Danza – Evolution at Sadler’s Wells

November 21, 2019 Last updated: November 21, 2019 3:32 pm By Marian Kennedy

Acosta Danza

Acosta Danza is a Cuban- based dance company founded by Carlos Acosta, the great Cuban ballet dancer and choreographer. He is the Artistic Director of Evolution and also makes a guest appearance as dancer in the final work. Evolution is a terrific show. The first piece of the evening is Satori. Choreographed by Raul Reinoso it’s mysterious and surreal in a display of sumptuous vibrancy, intriguing in its confusion of gender certainty. It’s here we first meet the extraordinary dancer, … [Read more...]
