"This is a Cinderella where the heroine has a bright outlook on life. Compellingly danced by Saeka Shirai, she never even gets close to being in the depths of despair"
@davidmeaddance is @RoyalNottingham for @northernballet in Michael Pink's 'Cinderella'

"John Neumeier’s Ghost Light and Glen Tetley’s Firebird. Two contrasting works, and an evening that confirmed the exceptional quality of this increasingly impressive company."

"After seventy minutes, I cannot say I know #BoramKim. But he is a fascinating dancer, an amusing storyteller and, with all his eccentricities, pretty good company."

"The theme is universal, the message inclusive and accessible and the quality superb... Mbi looks to the folklore of his Cameroonian heritage to explore our fractured relationship with the Earth."

Storm Austen had disrupted train services, while fierce winds had people struggling through the streets... windswept and bedraggled. The two works presented by @SDTDance did little to make things more comfortable.
Zoë Hewitt reports from #ThePlace.

"A short powerful burst of human emotion wrapped in poetic thoughts and a forest of basil plants... He is a powerhouse of creative energy."

Even better than when seen in London two years ago says Nicola Claire as she reports on a wonderful evening with @RBDanceCompany_ in 'Stories' now at the Peacock Theatre, London - @Sadlers_Wells - then on tour.

"There are occasions... a production simply fails to communicate. For me, Who Are We?, presented by the French company Baro d’evel, was one such occasion."
