Dutch National Ballet presents six Hans van Manen creations spanning 40 years of choreography. 

On the second night of San Francisco Ballet’s second visit to Beijing, the company treated their Chinese audience to a varied programme: Tomasson’s Caprice, Wheeldon’s Rush, van Manen’s Variations for Two Couples, and Balanchine’s Theme and Variations.

San Francisco Ballet's Program 3 explores the boundaries of classicism, from both ends, with La Bayadère's 'Kingdom of the Shades' , and neoclassical works from Hans van Manen, William Forsythe and Myles Thatcher. 

Fall for Dance's Program One features Black Grace, San Francisco Ballet, Russell Maliphant's choreography and the Mark Morrids Dance Group. A mixed bag, with Morris's Words the lovely cherry on the top!
