Gertrude Stein and cubism: Netta Yerushalmy at Harkness Dance Festival

Netta Yerushalmy’s Devouring Devouring at La MaMa was the proof that I have needed of late to know that a piece can be interesting and wholly watchable, based solely on the facility and performance quality of the dancers involved. That is not to say that Ms Yerushalmy’s work was boring; on the contrary, I found myself deeply invested from beginning to end.

Underneath, There Is Light was soothing, expansive and uplifting. One could see it becoming a regularly revived work.

Norwegian National Ballet return to the classics with surprising ease.

Ballet Nights offers a wonderful variety of dancing and genres. Whatever your preference, there are quality performances to enjoy.

The programme’s middle work sees a detour from Stravinsky, to the music of Richard Strauss, lending itself to more lyrical work and some respite from the drama it's sandwiched between.

Introdans is a company of skilled dancers, and whilst the results may not be thrilling, they are nevertheless engaging.
