A little bit of dance history is being recreated tomorrow when O Yes is staged in Glasgow.
I am Curious, Orange was first performed by the Michael Clark Company, with legendary post-punk band The Fall playing live on-stage, at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam and then at Edinburgh International Festival audiences the following year.
Clark's radical choreography included a segment called Yes O Yes, in which he referenced Glasgow's sectarian tensions through tongue-in-cheek imagery of a Rangers and Celtic football match. It's this section that Ellen van Schuylenburch - a member of the original cast - has revisited for The Inventors of Tradition II, a new project by Atelier E.B and Panel. The Fall will not be on hand, as they were in 1988, but there will be a live ensemble band created by Tut Vu Vu, backing the dozen or so independent dancers following Clark's iconoclastic steps at Glasgow School of Art Student's Association building. There are four separate showings between 7 and 10pm.

One of India's leading violinists, Jyotsna Srikanth (pictured) returns to Scotland this weekend for concerts in Kilbarchan and Edinburgh. Srikanth, who has won five star reviews for her performances at the Edinburgh Fringe in recent years, specialises in the Carnatic tradition, a style of music in which the violin takes on the role of the voice, and as a professional musician with wide experience she has also played western classical music as well as appearing on over 200 Bollywood soundtracks. She appears with mridangam (two-sided hand drum) and tablas accompaniment at Kilbarchan Performing Arts Centre in Renfrewshire on Saturday (April 11) and Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh on Monday (April 13). Both concerts begin at 8pm.

Comedian and activist Mark Thomas is no stranger to Edinburgh, and following his sell-out run of his solo show, Cuckooed, at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, he has returned to the city's Traverse Theatre where it premiered last year. A deeply personal story that looks at the real life betrayal by a former comrade of the performer who was later discovered to be spying on his best mate for one of Britain's biggest arms dealers. Painfully funny, it won the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award when it first appeared, and runs at the Traverse from April 15-18.
