Performer: Dane Hurst

Joburg Ballet makes a promising, if somewhat initially tentative, UK debut with a programme of five works, four by South African choreographers.

Simone Damberg Würtz and Dane Hurst shine in an outstanding evening of new choreography.

In the opening night of its short Autumn season at Sadler’s Wells, Rambert Dance Company presented a mixed bill that comprised four attractive works. Introducing a brand new piece by Irish choreographer Marguerite Donlon, the programme also included three revivals from acclaimed choreographers Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham and Richard Alston.
