  1. Thanks for the thoughts @LinMM

     

    However, I’ve always very much enjoyed Forsythe's 'contemporary' work and seen it performed by classically trained dancers in classical companies. 

     

    Whilst his work is, I believe, generally classified as contemporary some of it could, arguably, be described now as modern classic

     

    I've seen 'In the middle...', danced by the POB, ENB and by the RB, with Bussell and Yanowsky. I can’t recall any of those performances of 'modern choreography' provoking anything like the divergent responses seen in this thread. They were all terrific and uniformly well received.

    As for La Bayadere, does anyone who buys a ticket honestly leave thinking that in the mysterious Orient they do nothing but parade around in silk pantaloons and smoke opium?  If that is the case, then we have a serious problem with our education system that has absolutely nothing to do with ballet.

     

    Absolutely. Presumably no one who goes to The Two Pigeons comes away thinking that the characters really typify the Roma.
