“Sadler’s Wells is one of the best theatres we've performed in. It’s fabulous for dance. The close proximity of audience to dancer provides an intimate experience for everyone. We were well received by London dance fans on our last visit, although there were two rather different crowds in attendance for Midsummer vs. the mixed bill. The student crowd was loudly appreciative of the mixed bill, more like a crowd we’d experience in the States. Our relationship with the London audience is too new to really describe it. I've heard that the summer audience is different than the rest of the Season, so it will be interesting to find out!” more

American Ballet Theater is recognized as one of the great dance companies in the world. Few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope, and outreach.

It has also made more than fifteen international tours to forty-two countries as perhaps the most representative American ballet company and has been sponsored by the State Department of the United States on many of these engagements. more
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Montréal's Festival International de Nouvelle Danse - le grand labo: corps son image_body sound image. The traditional gift for a 10th anniversary is tin or aluminium but a present-day offering is more likely to be diamond jewellery. The FIND has chosen a collection of gems for its 10th anniversary and is going all out for the occasion, showing off homegrown jewels and a wide array of international sparklers. more
"Helgi Tomasson (Artistic Director of SFB) was ambitious in his programming, staging many different pieces by different choreographers and even bringing works by two of his own dancers. He treated the London audience as a mature bunch of discerning but open-minded individuals, and it paid off. When we were unceremoniously ejected onto the street on Thursday while one of the dancers was baking his or her potato in a manner that threatened to turn the Opera House into one big microwave oven, I was able to take stock of the week and listen to the animated voices around me, eager to get back to their seats for Mark Morris’ Sandpaper Ballet. (By the way, who was that dancer? Own up. Britons love a little tabloid journalism however ‘well-heeled’ they are.)" more
