Northern Ballet's Tell Tales Steps #2

[Terpsichore]

 

Yesterday Northern Ballet held its second choreographic lab entitled "Tell Tale Steps 2 Narrative Ballet" at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Theatre in the premises that the company shares with Phoenix Dance Theatre in Leeds.

 

It consisted of a panel discussion and then five short performances of works by Charlotte Edmonds, Carlos Pons Guerra and Morgann Runacre-Temple and Northern Ballet's Tobias Batley and Lucia Solari.   Although Edmonds's work was the most polished.Guerra's the most dramatic and Runacre-Temple's the most fun I was impressed by Batley's and Solari's.

 

The discussion was also interesting, particularly the contribution from Geraldine Morris of Roehampton University.

 

If anyone is interested I have added a note on the evening to my blog.
