Not much in the way of pictures with the links reviews. Just one shot - one photographer?

We had three extracts from Carman La Cubana at Sadlers Wells today, the company is resident until the 18th August. Loosely based on the film Carmen Jones. Bizet's music with a Cuban touch. Would have liked to see more. Singing and dancing in equal measures. Here is my contribution.
Carmen - Luna Manzanares Nardo and Company in Habanera
La Senora - Albita Rodriguez and Company in Oye el ritmo de tambor
El Nino - Joaquim Garcia Mejias and Company in Sal a pelear

Remember that these pictures were taken during a technical and not a dress rehearsal, thus the artists are not in full costume or make up. Just a selection from the 14 act programme. Part 1

Interesting comments regarding the apparent under rehearsing. I had the pleasure to sit (and photograph) through the 5 hours of the rehearsal. They not only had to place but the lighting was being done at the same time. Imagine getting the 14 acts through with all the setting up and taking down in that time and I would like to congratulate Paul the stage manager in keeping the stars on schedule. Sadly of course they were mostly not in costume or makeup but to see these great artists in action was an honour. I just had to defend the comments. I will post some pictures in due course.

I was also at the rehearsal for Amore or better known as Francesca da Rimini with the wonderful Svetlana Zakharova as Francesca. Hope you enjoy the pictures as it is possibly my last ballet call. My legs are letting me down and it has become a struggle to mount all the stairs from Ealing to the venues. So thank you to all my balletco friends and enjoy your Ballet watching.

Not exactly Dance but as it is part of Sadlers Wells at the Peacock Theatre this amusing and acrobatic diversion could brighten up your autumn evening. Until 21st October. Some extracts from the current show Saloon, a cowboy theme.

The long awaited Acosta Danza Company are at Sadlers Wells until Saturday 30th September but if you do not have a ticket hope for returns. Quite a mixture, Watch out for Mario Sergei Elias, I called him mini Carlos, watch him go far. If you are expecting some Cuban tunes they are not there. The music is fairly percussive. The Twelve is very clever and well rehearsed. Here are some pictures from the rehearsal.

What a wonderful show, and the stamina. Did anyone see both performances. Robbie Fairchild was naturally smooth and would have been a great example to the other men. Marcus Brigstock was a revelation and well done to him. May try and see it again if I can get 3 and a half hours free.

And some more from my camera. Sadly these set up shots lack the movement and atmosphere of a run.

Tanguera has returned to the Sadlers Wells Theatre until the 6th August. Sadly over lit with too much red and purple but the dancing excellent by the whole company. Just the Cabaret scene with musicians and dancers with star tango singer Marinella. Story of a French girl arriving in Buenos Aires and her discovery of life in the clubs. Danced by Melody Celatti as Giselle.

A visually interesting evening by the Alexander Whitley Dance Company. Only for two nights at the Sadlers Wells Theatre - tonight is the second and last chance to see this bright and cheerful performance. Puzzling why it is called 8 minutes as it is 70 minutes long. Feast yourself on the colours from yesterday's rehearsal.

Wiliam Forsythe: A Quiet Evening of Dance, London, October 2018
in Performances seen & general discussions
Posted
For once a full evening of dance, parts were very quiet as there was no music just the swish of the socks. Here are some pictures from the rehearsal.
