Performer: Crystal Pite

An evening focused on the separation of humanity from the natural world and the destruction of that world, either because of ignorance, greed or just not caring.

Ballet BC’s double bill puts Crystal Pite’s marvellous, shadowy Frontier in conversation with the folk-tinged comedy of Johan Inger’s Passing.

Overall, Light of Passage is one of those glorious pieces where music, choreography and design meld together to make theatrical magic.

This season, Henryk Górecki’s Third Symphony hits London’s stages twice: Crystal Pite expands Flight Pattern for a new work at The Royal Ballet, while Isabella Bywater presents it at English National Opera.

New National Theatre Tokyo's gala evening of six works by six pairs of dancers was a brilliant evening showing works from Japan's leading choreographers and dancers. 

Since the end of the 19th century, a whole raft of schools and companies were founded by women, resulting in a large number of seminal works in dance history.
