I really think Akram Khan was at his best when he didn't worry about trying to tell specific stories. thetimes.co.uk/article/kaash-…

Four ballerinas for the price of one - a novel Swan Lake at the Royal Ballet to raise funds for Ukraine. But will it catch on as an idea? thetimes.co.uk/article/swan-l…

Recently read Like Water for Chocolate, Laura Esquivel's quirky Mexican novel. Intrigued to see what Christopher Wheeldon will make of it as a ballet. thetimes.co.uk/article/christ…

How times have changed at Rambert. Inevitable, of course, but I do miss the live orchestra. thetimes.co.uk/article/ramber…

A Russian dancing Swan Lake at Covent Garden one week after the invasion of Ukraine. And now taking on Carmen at the Southbank. The extraordinary Natalia Osipova tells all. thetimes.co.uk/article/natali…

Sheer delight Crazy Coqs with the wonderful Billy Stritch - genial raconteur and master of the keyboard singing the seductive songs of my fave Cy Coleman. Shame City of Angels revival was scuppered by Covid.

Royal Ballet's Cinderella gets a fab makeover in time for her 75th birthday. Love the sets but not so sure about the costumes. The Fairies don't look very magical. Too many flowers! thetimes.co.uk/article/fb9bb9…

David Hallberg is coming back to London in August, this time with his Australian Ballet dancing Jewels. Great to have Balanchine back in the capital with his full ballet, not just Diamonds. We're overdue for a proper Balanchine feast. thetimes.co.uk/article/b01d03…

thetimes.co.uk/article/b82999… What's great about Great Gatsby is the frocks. Love the Roaring Twenties. And why can't we have more ballets set to music by Richard Rodney Bennett?

Aaron Watkin makes his mark at English National Ballet. A few quibbles about the dance but the music is a triumph. thetimes.co.uk/article/df504c…
