Rambert Dance Co - Sadlers Wells, 25th May

Three sets - Cadoon Club, Roses, and Monolith.

First up Cadoon Club & sparkly chains dangle as a
woman in cocktail dress and long nails appears . A slow start to a
routine which at times was comic but at other times pointless, not sure
about the element of the dancers performing a puppet show with what
seemed to be sticks. It was not boring but just not dance in my opinion.


Roses brought it back as classic ballet moves and gentile costumes
raised my interest, loved this set especially the slow acrobatic twists.

Finale Monolith was a good contemporary mix of great motion & use of set,
this showed off what Rambert does best.

Overall a very good ensemble and whilst the first set was mediocre in my view it was still a very well presented show. 8/10.
