Ballet Black presents a double bill at the Linbury that showcases the strengths of its very fine dancers as well as the depth of choreographic innovation in its vast repertoire.

Curated by Marcelino Sambé, Black History Month Draft Works at the Clore Studio gifted us an intriguing mix of ideas and styles providing food for thought as well as theatrical interest.

Ballet Black deliver a compelling and cleverly chosen double bill of new works with excellent lighting, ghoulish spectres and intoxicating dancing.

A programme to show that heroism is not just about feats of action and adventure, with Ballet Black's supremely good dancers rising to each challenge.

Isabela Coracy’s performance as Nina Simone was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate that Ballet Black has a new star and she rose to the challenge with allure.

Say It Loud and Black Sun prove to be two distinct works that showcase Ballet Black's diversity.
