Congo aux Abbesses : Linyekula met en lumière le passé colonial

A splendid evening of celebration for Sir Peter Wright at the Birmingham Hippodrome focusing on excerpts from his own classical ballets and The Green Table by Kurt Jooss.

An evening of outstanding dancing from the Royal Ballet School and the School of American Ballet. It was a case of spotting tomorrow’s stars in a beautifully balanced programme.

A welcome to Acosta Danza Yunior who have bags of potential. However, not all of the choreography engaged their talents sufficiently in this programme.

Compañía de Danza Jesús Carmona in UnYdos was a stunning evening of pure flamenco artistry, enlivened by a tremendous sense of theatre, and augurs well for the rest of the festival.

The Royal Ballet School performing as part of the Next Generation Festival, offered a host of works by both students and internationally renowned choreographers which proved to be highly enjoyable.

Completely engaging performance of Pina Bausch’s Kontakthof: Echoes of ’78 finds our reviewer disappointed with Music Music from Trajal Harrell in Lugano.
