Performer: Ballet West

Despite the uneven performances, the evening offered a painful reminder: the future of Cunningham's opus is fragile and delicate. With his own company disbanded, his future is in the hands of dancers who are not trained in his technique and did not have the good fortune of working directly with the great choreographer.

Once again, kudos to Adam Sklute and Ballet West for putting on a program of mostly new or recent works created for the company.

Ballet West’s production of Swan Lake at the MacRobert Arts Centre in Stirling was shaky in places but, overall, a very enjoyable evening.

Ballet West provided a rare treat by programming all recent and new works by Matthew Neenan, Nicolo Fonte, Helen Pickett and Val Caniparoli in the company's New York engagement.
