Dance

Reading With Bach, Trinity Laban – Review
This eloquent and atmospheric look at reading through dance is a treat for book and Bach lovers alike.
-
Anna Karenina, London Coliseum – Review
A physically impressive and atmospheric ballet. Deviates from Tolstoy's classic to concentrate more on the love triangle between characters.
-
Rodin, London Coliseum – Review
This dark portrayal of human passion has moments of brilliance. Rodin’s sculptures certainly come to life but his real-life women in this show need a bit more work.
-
My First Ballet: Coppélia, Peacock Theatre – Review
A great show for the family, particularly enchanting for any future ballerinas with talented dancers adding interest for older audience members.
-
Ed Rapley: The Self Trilogy, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A compassionate and recognisable look at how to deal with the difficulties of everyday life.
-
Naïve Dance Masterclass, Canada Water Culture Space – Review
Wildly ironic, slightly off the wall and completely unpredictable, this piece forces laughter and awe.
-
00 and His 7, St James Studio – Review
Great if you want to get 45 minutes away from work and watch a production which is neither taxing nor confusing. However, if you are a ballet fan, it might leave you wanting more.
-
Hero, Leicester Square Theatre – Review
The makings of a good show are definitely here, but the execution is lacking.
-
Bukowski’s Cass, The Vaults – Review
Sexy, irreverent, but not quite truthful.
-
In-Finite Space #2, The Vaults – Review
Imagine Maria from The Sound of Music coming up with the lyrics to Favourite Things using Twitter. This is kind of like that, except it’s about Favourite Spaces and it’s dancing, instead of singing.
