Scottish Dance Theatre presents Joan Clevillé – Antigone, Interrupted – London
★★★★✰ Joan Clevillé’s direction deserves much praise. A solo show for more than an hour on such an esoteric subject is a difficult framework to sustain and Clevillé’s structure is expertly paced with quick transitions and surprising interludes.

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan – 13 Tongues & Dust – London
★★★★✰ Although starkly different in theme and intention, both 13 Tongues and Dust showcased the company’s unique blend of movement, drawn from classical and modern traditions…
