Instrument: Producer

A gripping, if occasionally puzzling, evening from Doug Varone. 

Though the photographic accompaniment was earthbound, Messiaen and the LAPO led us to the stars. 

Tree of Codes opens at the Park Avenue Armory in New York - a collaboration between Wayne McGregor, Olafur Eliasson and Jamie xx.

The world premiere of Naughty Boy's new track Runnin', featuring the superb Arrow Benjamin, made a high point in an otherwise gawky and under-rehearsed Prom programme from the BBC Asian Network. 

Choreographer Wayne McGregor, music producer Jamie XX and artist Olafur Eliasson fill in Foer's gaps, in a performance of Tree of Codes that brings Random dance and Paris Opera corps and principal dancers together on stage, at the Manchester International Festival.

Doug Fitch masterminds a splendidly inventive multimedia rendering of Petrushka, ably supported by Alan Gilbert and the NY Phil.

A superb fusion of dance and circus, full of endless surprises and astonishing feats that leave the audience breathless for the full 80 minutes of uninterrupted thrills.
