dirac Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 A review of Dutch National Ballet by Graham Watts for DanceTabs. Quote This access to existing material filmed onstage quickly transitioned to accommodate new work filmed during lockdown, beginning in April with a work set to the pop song Hold On by Dutch band, Di-Rect. Milena Sidorova’s choreography begins with sequential shots of four dancers sitting or lying on their sofas before cutting to a pile of books (Harry Potter and Darcey Bussell to the fore) covering a girl in a bath, apparently wearing little more than sunglasses, and then quickly on to another ballerina pacing the kitchen floor en pointe.

dirac Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 A review of the Royal Ballet in "Woolf Works" by Deborah Weiss for DanceTabs. Quote Wayne McGregor’s first full-length creation for the Royal Ballet, Woolf Works, inspired by Virginia Woolf, remains one of his best works to date. It seemed like a breakthrough piece for McGregor in 2015, a departure from his usual abstract work and dance vocabulary and was well received at the time. Strangely, I like it more on film.
