Compagnie Marie Chouinard – Soft virtuosity, still humid, on the edge / HENRI MICHAUX: MOUVEMENTS – London
★★✰✰✰ Marie Chouinard certainly has interesting and original ideas – hurrah for that – but an editor would really help make the best of them sparkle.
Ballet BC – 16+ a room, Solo Echo, Bill – New York
★★★✰✰ Have you ever left a performance of contemporary ballet desperate for some color, some light, some human warmth?
Kidd Pivot and Electric Company Theatre – Betroffenheit by Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young – London
★★★✰✰ I give it 3 stars because when you do see Pite’s movement it’s amazing, but in any other hands this was a 2 star night.
International Dance Festival Birmingham 2016 – Ballet BC, Shun Ito/Kei Miyata/EEIH, Motionhouse & free events
★★★✰✰ IDFB is great for Birmingham and I hope those in and around the city filled their boots.
