Savion Glover – Lady5 @ Savion Glover’s BaRoQUe’BLaK TaP CaFe – New York
★★★✰✰ Light on tap and heavy on concept, the show is inspired by an imaginary conversation between Glover and Gregg Burge – a multi-talented artist lost too young (23 years ago this 4 July) to brain cancer.
Hauptaktion at London’s Collisions Festival 2018 – Examing cultural appropriation and Minstrel shows
Thoughtful report about thoughtful work that probes and presents how the dance of yesterday and today borrows and distorts the culture of others. Makes you think!
The Merchants of Bollywood – London
The production has been touring since 2006, and will probably welcome near-full houses again on this run. I’m left with an overwhelming sense of an opportunity missed, however…
Ballet Revolucion – London
The dancers and musicians of Ballet Revolución are superb and this will be a fun evening for anyone who wants to see a Now That’s What I Call Music compilation album brought to life by K-Tel in a toe-tapping cabaret dance show.
