New works (Micaela Taylor, Jermaine Spivey)

Nederlands Dans Theater | NDT 2

Royal Ballet Flanders: it's either bemusing or brilliant!

Jonathan Gray, 3rd June

Three linked works of contemporary ballet provoke a very mixed response.

Ballet Black: Pendulum / CLICK! / INGOMA at the Barbican

Graham Watts, 16th March

Another evening of enjoyable and diverse dance although the most complete and satisfying work was the revival from ten years' ago

Jessica Lang Dance, pleasing but disappointing

Jaime Robles, 28th February

Lang’s choreography lacks the hectic drollness and biting originality of Tharp’s, and while accessible it is also sweeter and blander.

Augmented reality with Queensland Ballet's Bespoke Evening

Chantal Nguyen, 15th November

An augmented reality app, film, photos, and a diverse live triple bill feature in Queensland Ballet's latest celebration of emerging and experimental choreographers and artists.

Julie Cunningham/ Botis Seva/ Alesandra Seutin Reckonings

Graham Watts, 11th October

A forward-looking celebration of the past twenty years' of dance at Sadler's Wells, presenting the work of three emerging choreographers.

Harlem, Funk and a bit of Schubert

Hilary Stroh, 7th March

It’s not about being on the biggest stage that matters, but what you do on any stage at all – dance like there is no-one watching. But, happily in this case, we are.

Michael Klier macht schon seit mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert Musik. Als gebürtiger Berliner kam er 1993 nach Amsterdam. Er war Mitglied unterschiedlichster internationaler Ensembles und Orchester. Heute betreibt er eine florierende Unterrichts- und Coachingpraxis. Als Teamcoach bietet er dort Schulungen an, in denen die Kursteilnehmer miteinander komponieren, um so ihre ungenutzten kreativen Potentiale zu entdecken und besser miteinander zu kommunizieren. Denn: Musiker sind die Architekten des Himmels.
