Tuesday September 29/15 - Fall for Dance - Sony Centre - we have just witnessed the greatest dance programme ever....when the Alvin Ailey company isn't in the top 5, something is wrong. The Ailey company wants to watch out for the sensational Atlanta Ballet, whose Minus 16 choreographed by Ohad Naharin, is one of the greatest dance shows ever, worth a trip to Atlanta. Unfortunately the opening night programme is not being repeated, instead we get two evenings of Program 2. Also in the top group was Toronto Dance Theatre's great Vena Cava, choreographed by Christopher House, the National Ballet's 24, and Vibhakta, by the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble. The Sony resounded with an appreciative audience the likes of whom I have never seen or heard there before.
Looking forward to Program 2 tomorrow, and cannot imagine it could ever be better than this evening's glorious event.
An enlightening talk by members of the 6 companies preceded the event.
