    Heroes of Tomorrow review: What does ‘tarnished’ money do to art? Brokentalkers try to find some answers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    We never meet Jan Hansen onstage. The fictional Norwegian artist is the central figure of Brokentalkers’ focused and funny production, but he remains forever absent from the stage. His existence is merely recited, parcelled out in portions by the actors Malua Ní Chléirigh, Alice Roots and Michael Tient, who fold his biography into fragments of history, tracing a restless network of connections between politics, art and protest. We learn that Hansen was born in 1974 in Tromsø, Norway. His ea

    Trolley Boy at Dublin Fringe: Hollow consumer culture questioned through dance (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bob lives a strange wordless life in a pastel world: a supermarket with lime and peach chequerboard floor and three shelving units standing sentinel and full of neatly stacked products, all promising happiness. Within this dreamscape, everything is clean, chromatic and inviting, but nothing is particularly comforting.

Which costume? Haze or no haze? Should the choreography change? But ultimately, how much control should the mob be allowed to have over the individual bodies in front of it?

    Colossus choreographer Stephanie Lake: ‘We’re a really small team, but we’re making big works’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s 9am in London and already 30 degrees. It’s the morning after the UK premiere of Colossus, by the Australian choreographer Stephanie Lake, at the (thankfully air-conditioned) Queen Elizabeth Hall, part of the Southbank arts centre, next to the Thames. For the 50 final-year BA students from London Contemporary Dance School, rehearsals were not so cool. Their studios at the Place, off Euston Road, are not air-conditioned and they had to work during the heatwave. Fortuitously, the UK Met Of
