Five more dance shows likely to be hot tickets
Barrowland Ballet: Whiteout
Drawing on personal experience, choreographer Natasha Gilmore explores the complex, sensitive issues that surface around bi-racial relationships. There’s no moralising, no resentments in this exhilarating, genuinely affecting piece of dance.
Zoo Southside, August 6 - 27
Derevo: Once...
What becomes of the broken-hearted? The highs and lows of love in all its degrees become the stuff of laughter and tears courtesy of superb – often poignant – clowning and visually ravishing physical theatre when the award-winning Derevo bring Once... (with its original cast) back to the Fringe.
Assembly George Square Theatre, August 6 to 29
Janis Claxton Dance: POP-UP Duets
Love is in the air, and in among the exhibits, when Claxton and her company take full advantage of the site-specific possibilities of this popular museum space. It’s free, and unticketed – a chance to see one of Scotland’s most inventive choreographers in action.
National Museum of Scotland, August 10 - 28
PlanB: And Now...
Frank McConnell’s choreography is gorgeously playful, but also full of insights into the learning curve that takes us from childhood’s “when I grow up...” ambitions to those moments when being grown up springs its own surprises. An added delight? Whimsical musician Steve Kettley is also on-stage – a treat for ears of all ages.
Zoo Southside, August 15 - 27
Gandini Juggling: Water on Mars
It’s not just dancing bodies that defy gravity and get airborne! Hoops, clubs, balls – they all get whisked into a choreography where acrobatics and tap dancing get woven into displays of hand/eye co-ordination that boggle the mind, quite deliciously.
Assembly Roxy, August 6 - 14
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
