This take on Romeo and Juliet is an outstanding artistic Scottish Ballet achievement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘Will it be a challenge…?’ For Scottish Ballet, this is the dynamic behind the current double bill of strikingly radical works by Crystal Pite and Julia Cheng. It’s also the visionary driving force behind These Violent Delights, a 70 minute film that revisits Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and - with a present-day energy - gets under the skin of teenage angst and the growing pains of young love. The narrative, devised by co-directors Christopher Hampson and Oscar Sansom, is shaded through with J
A standing ovation, ecstatic cheers and a night Scottish Ballet owned Glasgow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s ten years since Scottish Ballet unleashed Crystal Pite’s darkly dramatic Emergence on-stage, first at the Edinburgh International Festival, then subsequently on the company’s 2016 autumn tour. Audiences who saw it back then were utterly exhilarated by what they saw - the same was clearly still the case at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal this week. Riotous applause. Ecstatic cheers. A standing ovation that warmly acknowledged the dancers’ technical prowess in choreography that melds classical ballet

The Power of Love â¦Â  itâs the anthemic ballad that Australian dance-maker Dan Daw and his beloved grandmother used to sing together when, as a lad, he spent time with her. It was a significant instance of emotive sharing back then in the Aussie outback, and itâs a significant moment of such sharing again, as the EIF audience join in singing it at the close of EXXY. Significant because Daw, and his three fellow performers, are physically disabled and their unflinchingly honest anecdotesÂ
‘It could have been me’: A brutal murder and a beguiling beacon of hope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The curtain rises on a classroom where students - some more successfully than others - are repeating Arabic words, over and over and over. It’s an image which suggests that, no matter who we are, or where we are, there are always lessons to be learned. For Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the learning curve that led to the creation of Ihsane - given its UK premiere at this year’s Edinburgh International Festival - is rooted in the brutal homophobic/racist killing of Ihsane Jarfi, a yo
