Review: TWICE-BORN; SCOTTISH BALLET, Sadler’s Wells
by Matthew Paluch - Mar 7, 2025

Scottish Ballet return to Sadler’s Wells with a triple bill. One film, and two live pieces. All of the work is contemporary dance based, and acts as a vehicle for the company dancers to show off their well honed, dance capabilities. I wonder if a classical piece could have balanced things out and allowed the dancers to show their full range of talents?

Review: LIGHT OF PASSAGE, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Louise Penn - Feb 21, 2025

Crystal Pite’s deeply moving work has themes of safe passage, displacement, community and mortality. Light of Passage, taken as a whole work with the three sections together, builds into a cohesive whole on the theme of who we are, where we are going, and what we feel. Although there are moments of repetition and the occasional sense of the abstract, I did find that Light of Passage succeeds on an emotional level in reaching an audience, who cheered enthusiastically by the curtain call.

Review: ENCOUNTERS: FOUR CONTEMPORARY BALLETS, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Matthew Paluch - Oct 23, 2024

The Royal Ballet season continues with its first modern bill - Encounters: Four contemporary ballets. For some, like me, the four works presented are all new, but in actuality only two of the four are premières. And one of those is in fact a development of an existing (2022) pas de deux into a bigger scale work.
