Mere Mortals, San Francisco Ballet
★★
San Francisco’s opener for the new Sadler’s Wells season was an overwhelming yet confusing technological reimagination of Pandora’s Box.
Ka Wing / Hardie / Kind, Resolution Festival
★★
Our author try to resist the guilt of a critical eye as she enters her second night of Resolution. In store? Strange births, balloons for heads and some Lindy Hop.
Mannion / Bidault / Eira Dance Theatre, Resolution Festival
★★
Resolution Festival is a place for young choreographic minds to experiment. This evening was no different with a mix of Flamenco, contemporary and meditation on display.
Frontiers, National Dance Company of Wales
★★ to ★★★
National Dance Company of Wales tour to The Place, London for Frontiers, a double bill featuring Skinners by Melanie Lane and August by outgoing Artistic Director Matthew William Robinson. Although the ideas are intriguing on paper, they often struggle to translate to the stage.
Frontiers, National Ballet of Canada
★★ to ★★★★
The National Ballet of Canada return to London after over a decade with a mixed programme of varying results. While James Kudelka and Emma Portner’s pieces struggled at times, Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas was an impressive finale.
