It's a very quiet week indeed for dance.... So we urge you to see Exposure: Dance at the Royal Opera House (no ballet in sight!), and if you're adventurous, there's a musical on offer at the Union Theatre, choreographed by Drew McOnie with our beloved Raymond Tait as Dance Captain.


Exposure: Dance: 23 - 25 February
Linbury Studio, Royal Opera House
Tickets & details: http://www.roh.org.uk/whatson/production.aspx?pid=19428

From the ROH website: Exposure: Dance presents short works by emerging choreographers, with premieres from Alexander Whitley and aerialist Ilona Jäntti, Jorge Crecis’ sport-dance piece 36, a duet by Gary Clarke performed by New Art Club, and a different special guest each evening: Boy Blue Entertainment on Thursday, Company Chameleon on Friday and Rachael Mossom on Saturday. Plus pre-show foyer entertainment Levantes Dance Theatre – Canapé Art.

We're going to support Alexander Whitley, of Random Dance, New Movement, and the star of last year's Draft Works. We also want to see New Art Club - we can't start to imagine them performing at the Royal Opera House!


Something Different

Patience: until 10 March
Union Theatre

If you're in the mood for a musical, then Sasha Regan's all-male company's latest production is Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience, a satire on the Aesthetic Movement of the late 19th century. With choreography by Drew McOnie, and Raymond Tait as Dance Captain, there's much to enjoy in this relatively lesser-known work about two men competing for the affections of the eponymous heroine.
