aileen Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The company is performing an unknown (to the audience) selection of pieces at Sadler's Wells next weekend. I don't know whether to brave it or not. Has anyone seen this company? Does its rep bear any relationship to ballet at all or is it at the extreme end of contemporary dance (what ever that means)?

Colman Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Some video here seems to be them: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yxdHUg83SM4 They're en pointe and turned out, so I guess it's ballet. :-) Edited October 2, 2016 by Colman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Their web site http://ballet-de-lorraine.eu/en/ gives an insight into their repertoire (Forsythe, Tharp, Cunningham, others) and the current season. http://ballet-de-lorraine.eu/en/saison provides more information about the piece at SW. A new production. 5 different choreographers who remain anonymous, from different generations. It sounds very intriguing. The company performed at the Linbury last March. http://www.roh.org.uk/news/kevin-ohare-welcomes-ballet-de-lorraine-to-the-linbury-studio-theatre edited one of the links to point to the English version of the company's web site Edited October 2, 2016 by Duck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
