In this revival of Wayne McGregor’s Raven Girl, Watson becomes something more than a postman...
The overall standard of dancing of both NEBT and guests was very good - if the choreography was rather more mixed.
Dancers should be allowed to have fun, especially when they've worked as hard as Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova...
