William Forsythe – A Quiet Evening of Dance

Take the title of choreographer William Forsythe’s A Quiet Evening of Dance literally. For the first forty-five minutes of this show, the only sound you’ll hear is a sometimes soundtrack of distant birds singing quietly and the dancers breathing. The house lights are left up, you’re visible and there’s no set. It’s all black on black with occasional highlights of grating colour in the form of what looks a lot like coloured rubber gloves. The consequence is the audience is left uncomfortable, exposed physically and emotionally in their familiar Sadler’s seats, tested on an actual appreciation of choreography with no comfort blankets and nowhere to hide.

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...]

The Vienna Festival Ballet Company – Giselle – Theatre Royal Windsor

March 5, 2019 Last updated: July 8, 2019 9:30 pm By Johnny Tait

The Vienna Festival Ballet Company - Giselle

The audience that were fortunate to be present at The Vienna Festival Ballet Company’s opening night of their 2019 national tour were spellbound at The Theatre Royal Windsor, as the timeless love story Giselle unfolded before their eyes. The story of Giselle takes place in a tiny village nestled in the romantic forests of the Rhineland. The forests are haunted by the Wilis, they are young maidens who love to dance, and have passed away far too young, from broken hearts, after being deceived … [Read more...]

Remembrance/The Four Seasons | New English Ballet Theatre

October 1, 2018 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:15 am By Johnny Tait

Remembrance/The Four Seasons

The double bill show opened with Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, recomposed by Max Richter. It was not difficult to distinguish between the seasons. What would you choose from? The masterpiece that Vivaldi created, the excellent choreography by Jenna Lee, the stunning costumes by April Dalton or the very clever use of lighting by Andrew Ellis? As the music, lighting and dance moved along at an enjoyable pace we were taken through the seasons, by five couples that performed with strong … [Read more...]

St Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s Swan Lake at the London Coliseum

August 24, 2018 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By John OBrien

Borrow, beg or blag a ticket but just get yourself into the Coliseum because this production of Swan Lake has to be seen. Stunning sets, sumptuous costumes, spine-tingling music and dancing that takes your breath away make this an evening to be treasured. By the end, I was left feeling utterly spellbound, silent and speechless. No words could possibly come close to describing the visceral power of this show. The dancers from the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre are each and every one outstanding … [Read more...]
