Artiste: Marc Brew

At Sadler’s Wells East, a profound, moving and extraordinary account of former ballet dancer Marc Brew’s life-changing car accident.

Highlights from the nine-day contemporary dance festival from the southernmost tip of Manhattan. 

Candoco Unlimited is a varied and impressive offering from Britain’s foremost integrated dance company, set against the backdrop of the world’s largest celebration of disabled athleticism and physical achievement.

Marc Brew Company’s Fusional Fragments lit up the Queen Elizabeth Hall in a double bill that marked the first night of performances in the Southbank Centre’s Unlimited festival, a project showcasing work by deaf and disabled artists alongside the London Paralympic Games. Fusional Fragments, featuring live percussion by Dame Evelyn Glennie, was a highly intricate work that lived up to its title.

Composers Anna Meredith and Jennifer Walshe took prizes in classical music and opera, while choreographers Marc Brew and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui are recognised for their dance work an Accident / a Life.
