★★★✰✰ Birmingham Royal Ballet's latest bill, Carlos Curates: R&J Reimagined, had the company dancing in Edward Clug's Radio and Juliet (★★✰✰✰) and presenting Rosie Kay Dance Company in their new Romeo + Juliet (★★★★✰)
Tag - Rosie Kay Dance Company
★★★✰✰ All up this is a most thoughtful and involving R&J for our time, one that with some dramatic honing will have a long life and which can speak powerfully to both new and old audiences. It's a dance of consequence, as ever, from Rosie Kay.
Rosie Kay’s new and radical take on "Romeo + Juliet" gets premiered on the 8 September at the Birmingham Hippodrome. Foteini Christofilopoulou with a heads-up & special shoot direct from the dance studio.
★★★★✰ It's been a long time since I've seen a piece of dance theatre quite so moving and thought-provoking as Adult Female Dancer.
★★★★✰ A bravo to Rosie Kay, who does it yet again, delivering thought provoking dance in a very smartly designed package. (but do read the programme!)
★★★★✰ "Ultimately both versions of "Soldiers" have the same impact of sending you home aware of the sacrifice involved and proud of what the military does."
★★★★★ It was a marvellous showcase of Artistic Director Jessica Lang’s choreographic voice and the nine-member ensemble’s extraordinary talent.
★★★✰✰ Rosie Kay’s MK Ultra is an ambitious project which tackles complex thematic sources - conspiracy theories, brain washing and mind-control, not to mention myths about secret societies such as the Illuminati...
Head and shoulders above other new work this year was Crystal Pite’s Flight Pattern for the Royal Ballet...
The Dance Section of the Critics’ Circle is pleased to announce the nominations for the 18th National Dance Awards...
★★★★✰ The physicality of 5 Soldiers during the hour-long performance brings home the breaking of bodies...

★★★✰✰ Kay has produced a visually exciting and sexy work based on a theory that is all clearly nonsense.

★★★✰✰ Overall I came away impressed by an intelligent multimedia show that really makes you think about your views and how they have been influenced by what you see and hear...
Not heard of the Illuminati and the New World Order? Read on for a fascinating take on alternative news and brainwashing... and also a terrific record of just how a piece of dance gets created.
★★★★✰ Motel is a gem... An award-winning company in great creative form.
★★★★✰ It's taken me a while to catch up with Lorent but my goodness I won't miss much from here on.
