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...]

Another Look at Memory at The Coronet Theatre | Review

October 25, 2019 Last updated: October 25, 2019 10:01 pm By Marian Kennedy

Another Look at Memory photo © Frédéric Iovino

The Coronet Theatre is a charming Grade II listed venue, with a candle lit and uniquely furnished and beautiful bar it’s a perfect refuge on a winter’s evening in Notting Hill. Philip Glass’s magnificent work for organ and choral voice, Another look at harmony, accompanies the dance piece, Another Look at Memory presented by Institut francais and performed on The Coronet’s stage primarily by three dancers then four. The work travels through ten years of choreography by Thomas Le Brun. The … [Read more...]

Natalia Osipova – Pure Dance at Sadler’s Wells | Review

October 24, 2019 Last updated: October 24, 2019 10:42 pm By Marian Kennedy

Natalia Osipova Pure Dance Valse Triste Dancers Natalia Osipova and David Hallberg - Johan Persson (c)

Natalia Osipova is the artistic director of this show and a principal dancer at The Royal Ballet, London. Pure Dance is a fine programme of seven short pieces varying in tone and form from contemporary dance to classical ballet. Osipova dances in six of the works and the seventh, a solo performed by David Hallberg, a principal guest artist at The Royal Ballet, is atmospheric and performed with provoking sensitivity. The choreography throughout the show is consistently excellent and the music … [Read more...]

Russell Maliphant Company’s Silent Lines | Review

October 20, 2019 Last updated: October 20, 2019 3:12 pm By Marian Kennedy

Silent Lines: Alethia Antonia, Will Thompson, Edd Arnold, Grace Jabbari, Moronfoluwa Odimayo (c) Martin Collin.

Silent Lines is a new work choreographed by Russell Maliphant and performed by his dance company. It’s an abstract work relying on movement, music and clever light effects to absorb the audience which it successfully does. Much more so than his other recent work, The Golden Thread. Running at an hour Silent Lines opens with five dancers performing as indistinct figures bound together moving between dappled light and shade as if underwater through sunshine and shadow. The costumes by Stevie … [Read more...]

Ballet Preljocaj La Fresque at Sadler’s Wells | Review

October 1, 2019 Last updated: July 12, 2021 5:27 pm By Marian Kennedy

Saut ensemble © Jean-Claude Carbonne.

Premiered in Aix-en-Provence three years ago this work choreographed by the French choreographer, Angelin Preljocaj is presented as a beautiful dream, pleasing to watch. The title, La Fresque, refers to a fresco. This is a watercolour picture painted rapidly onto wet plaster on a wall or ceiling so the colour permeates the plaster as it dries with the painting becoming an integral part of the building. The narrative to this dance work is flimsy based on folklore that is Chinese in origin … [Read more...]

Another Kind of Blue present the UK premiere of Flirt with Reality

July 11, 2019 Last updated: July 12, 2021 5:36 pm By Marian Kennedy

Flirt with Reality Game Engine David Middendorp

There are two sections of such exciting poetic and visual beauty in Another Kind of Blue performed by this Netherlands-based contemporary dance company it’s unmissable. David Middendorp is the founding artistic director whose choreography and visual presentations teem with ideas and imaginative connections. He creates an incredible visual interplay between his dancers and their context using drones to connect what is being performed on stage to a screen on which stunning images of them moving … [Read more...]

Soweto Gospel Choir: INALA a Zulu Ballet at The Peacock Theatre

May 3, 2019 Last updated: May 8, 2019 5:27 pm By Marian Kennedy

There’s the Soweto Gospel Choir dancing and singing in Zulu, a five-piece band lit as shadows against an African sky as ten ballet dancers performing classical steps in bare feet choreographed by the award-winning Mark Baldwin, who’s worked with Ballet Rambert as their Artistic Director and at Sadler’s Wells as resident choreographer. The question is does this mix work? The enthusiasm of the on its feet audience at the end of the opening night suggests it does as entertainment at any rate. … [Read more...]
