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.

Cinderella: Vienna Festival Ballet Company – Theatre Royal Windsor

March 10, 2018 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By Johnny Tait

Cinderella - Vienna Festival Ballet

Ask anyone to name a popular family pantomime, I bet the answer you would mostly hear would be Cinderella. Let’s set that with music from Rossini coupled with choreography by Sheila Styles performed by the outstanding Vienna Festival Ballet Company, then we have a show to delight audiences of all ages as the VFB embark on a nationwide tour. The opening is no different to any panto production telling this tale, it’s the kitchen scene with Cinderella sentenced to a life of drudgery, bullied … [Read more...]

Review of Vienna Festival Ballet: The Nutcracker

November 11, 2017 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By Johnny Tait

Vienna Festival Ballet The Nutcracker

Yesterday I was fortunate to attend a magical performance of something I would describe as being the perfect Christmas show for all. Having seen The Nutcracker on previous occasions, would I enjoy it again?  Can you improve perfection? Well, The Vienna Festival Ballet Company demonstrated to the entire audience that filled the auditorium that you can. The curtain rises and we find ourselves at a magical Christmas party, with the magician providing entertainment for all, whilst … [Read more...]

Alain Platel: les ballets C de la B nicht schlafen – Review

July 3, 2017 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By Marian Kennedy

Nicht Schlafen Chris van der burght

Nicht Schlafen is a creative wonder marvellously performed by les ballets C de la B. Being choreographed by the adventuring Belgian choreographer, Alain Patel, it's not a conventional ballet of course but rather barefoot contemporary dance inspired by the deathly disruption of life in Europe due to war during the first part of the last century. The set, by Berlinde De Bruyckere, consists of a sculpture of three life-size dead horses piled in a heap with a ripped curtain of a blanket as a … [Read more...]

NEBT: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and other modern ballets

June 30, 2017 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By Marian Kennedy

NEBT - Vertex photo by John Ross

The music was a delight of course, Rachmaninov, Guarnieri and The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. None of them were played live but the Rachmaninov was an old recording which combined pleasingly with the ephemeral atmospherics of the lighting to suggest we were watching scenes from a distant past. The most thrilling parts of the evening were the first and second movements of The Four Seasons, choreographed by Jenna Lee, where there was a freshness and flow to the choreography. The pas de deux in the … [Read more...]

Swan Lake – Vienna Festival Ballet – Theatre Royal Windsor

March 18, 2017 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:16 am By Johnny Tait

Swan Lake - Vienna Festival Ballet

“I have never been to the Ballet! I don’t like Ballet!” How many times have I heard that? “I mean there are no words, how can you know what’s going on? That’s why I have never been to the Ballet” Do we need words to enjoy Ballet? I would advise anyone to go along to see The Vienna Festival Ballet company perform Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. As I, along with every other member of the audience that filled The Theatre Royal Windsor witnessed a visually stunning piece of art that held the full … [Read more...]
