It was interesting to see Trisha Brown Dance Company at Dance Umbrella the day after seeing Wayne McGregor | Random Dance at Sadler’s Wells. By all rights the two should have been seen in the opposite order.Brown has been a prominent figure on the New York dance scene since the 60s.

Don’t forget to bring cash when you go to see Ivo Dimchev’s Lili Handel! Presented at Central Saint Martins as part of Dance Umbrella, Lili Handel offers you the chance to bring a little piece of the artwork (some drops of Dimchev’s blood) home. It’s a show that will not leave you indifferent – you will either love or hate it – and it is highly witty, entertaining, and never too obvious. In a minimal setting, Dimchev manages to transform the mundane into divine and grotesque images reflecting on the role of the performer, the viewer, the artwork and the object of art, all at once.
