Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Russell Maliphant

Carlos Acosta can still draw in the crowds and this carefully chosen programme is well worth watching.

Tremendous effort from all concerned and sparks did fly, but they didn't quite burn brightly enough.

Vortex is the latest in Maliphant’s ongoing explorations into the rich performance potential that can be mined from blending many artistic elements.

The spirit of Cuba visits Madrid as Carlos Acosta's dance troupe performs a mixed at the Teatro Real, including Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's Mermaid. 

The ENB translates its digital films made during the pandemic into an evening of a live performance.

The choreographers selected ranged from the highly experienced (Yuri Possokhov, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Russell Maliphant), and ENB’s Associate Choreographer (Stina Quagebeur) to a relative newcomer, 24-year-old Arielle Smith. 

Silent Lines epitomises Maliphant’s compulsive study of fascia, the layers of integrated tissue attached to, enclosing and separating muscles.

Lest We Forget, a triptych of original work first commissioned in 2014 for the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War now returns to the repertoire to commemorate a hundred years since the armistice of 1918.

Outstanding examples of men dancing are book-ended by two new works that are badly misjudged as a means of entertainment 

Maliphant has achieved a unique movement style and a highly collaborative artistic direction, largely built upon instinctive cooperative understanding with long-term partners 

Natalia Osipova and Sergei Polunin's present a contemporary programme of works exploring the complexities of a couple's initimacy at Sadler's Wells

No Body is a promenade performance that reveals the intimacies of a working theatre. Without dancers, the audience is exposed to an immersive experience of light, sound and video. 

In order to really take you somewhere a performance has to open a window to another, higher plane of existence. This is that show.

Choreographer Russell Maliphant and lighting designer Michael Hulls could just as easily be described as innovators or architects. Conceal | Reveal at Sadler's Wells tells the story of their creative partnership spanning 20 years. Together they have forged new choreographic terrain, a topography of movement and light.

A farewell tour by a legend is an opportunity for her to give thanks to her fans and for us to signal our appreciation for a career that spanned thirty-five astonishing years.

Explosive and animated, Sylvie Guillem moves with an inimitable combination of energy, joie de vivre and delicacy throughout her final show, Life in Progress, at Beijing’s National Center for Performing Arts.

An intense, substantial and authentic programme definitely worth seeing.

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!

BalletBoyz - theTalent emit versatility, stunning technique and velvety smooth movement material that stuns and enthrals - a beautiful triple bill of work.

Guillem and Maliphant's nuanced artistry and brilliant inventiveness bring the London Coliseum audience to its feet.

Russell Maliphant presents five stunning works, including three new creations Still, Traces and Still Current at Sadler's Wells.

In a double bill at Sadler’s Wells, BalletBoyz demonstrate a group amity and common identity unlike any other company of their size.

Sadler’s Wells present these five original works as an evening of British-Chinese cultural collaboration, but while full of beautiful moments, the evening falls short of this advertised purpose. Choreographers Russell Maliphant and Christopher Wheeldon each present two pieces, while Edwaard Liang presents one.

Russell Maliphant and his dancers presented Still / Current, an evening of solos, duets and trios at Artsdepot in north London this past Wednesday. Though working with what are clearly excellent dancers, all of the pieces were mediated by the lighting. The lighting design was by Maliphant’s long-time collaborator Michael Hulls.

When it started in 2001, the BalletBoyz seemed to be a flimsy flirt of one or two seasons at most. More than ten years later, after several award-winning productions, spellbinding collaborations and film creations, they are a company of ten with their own rehearsal studio, guest choreographers, and a loyal audience.

The curtains open on The Rodin Project to reveal a large, irregularly shaped set draped in flowing white cloth. It hangs from the ceiling in icy sheets, reflective of the snowy landscape of the theatre’s exterior. Characters begin to emerge in the growing light, crawling and scampering slowly across the jagged stage.

Last October Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Russell Maliphant choreographed a 15 minute solo, Afterlight (Part One), for an evening at Sadler’s Wells celebrating the centenary of the founding of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes.

Ein unvergesslicher Abend, der zeigt, wie unterschiedlich Musik in Tanz aufgehen kann und wie klein der Unterschied zwischen abstraktem Tanz und konkreter Deutung sein kann.

Pour clore sa toute première saison TranscenDanses, le Théâtre des Champs Elysées accueille la tournée du spectacle Still Current du chorégraphe britannique Russel Maliphant et du scénographe Michael Hulls.
