Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Darren Ellis

The Place Prize Semi-Final continued on Thursday, with Nina Kov, Neil Paris, bgroup and Darren Ellis showcasing work in the third evening of this four-night series. The Place Prize, now in its fifth edition, is a competition aimed at encouraging engagement with contemporary dance.

In the first evening of The Place’s 2012 Spring Loaded showcase, Robert Clark and Darren Ellis dance presented two very different pieces that made for an enjoyable but eclectic show. The night began with Darren Ellis’ Long Walk Home, a series of solos performed by four women, who are at different points in their lives, investigating their current relationship with dance.
