Dance
Gene Kelly Ballet for SB
Scottish Ballet is planning a hybrid tour and feature-length film this autumn of Starstruck, a reworking with new elements of Gene Kelly’s 1960 ballet Pas de Dieux, which will be getting its UK premiere in the production.
India Flamenco – A Gipsy Tale
★★★★☆ Absolutely fascinating:
Three women, three styles and three different sensualities – combined with their shared joy for dance, are the main ingredients of this stunning production.
Alba Flamenca
★★★★☆ And clap your hands:
Alba Flamenca, in a tiny venue on East Crosscauseway, is Acapella at its finest with five artists making music together – whether it is by the voice, guitar or feet.
Heroes
★★★☆☆ Fails to soar:
Two well established Edinburgh based companies working in physical performance, All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre and Room 2 Manoeuvre, bring their new family show about superheroes to this year’s Fringe.
Facing the Music
Dance is the way to do it:
This week there is an extravaganza of dance up at the Church Hill Theatre. Let’s Face the Music and Dance is both a celebration of all things rhythmic and a huge personal statement for its founder, Janice Bruce.
Rambert: Life is a Dream
★★★☆☆ Woozy poetry:
Rambert’s Life is a Dream, at the Festival Theatre to Saturday, is a peculiar, poetic piece that suffers from pulling in too many directions at once.
