National Youth Dance Company

The National Youth Dance Company performed a couple of energetic dances, The Rashomon Effect and Vertical Road, inspired and directed by Akram Khan with a bit of Dust thrown in. Quite impresive.

Sorry, forgot the RFH link.

Thanks for that, John.  I might take a look if I'm in the area.

Or even if I wasn't, as it happened, despite Southern's best efforts to prevent me from getting there.

 

The entire performance lasts about 50 minutes, and is worth taking in if you're around at the time.

I was there - with my family. We were very impressed with both the dancers and the musicians from the NYO. We stayed to hear their compositions. What a lovely afternoon at the Southbank in the sunshine. I must say that the Southbank is a very inviting venue - lots of people were there. Very different to Covent Garden!
