Sadler’s
Wells is renowned for delivering to its audiences, contemporary performances
from various genres of dance. Their intention is to urge viewers to have a
deep engagement with the performances and provoke different feelings
and thoughts. It’s a noble cause and often good art succeeds in achieving this
reaction.
Natalia Osipova is no doubt a skilled dancer; in fact she’s rather phenomenal, having begun her formal ballet training at age eight she has danced with such notable companies as The Bolshoi and The Royal Ballet, she moves expertly and beautifully.
The production in question was certainly unique. It was split into three separate parts, each of which told a different story. The first I would describe as interpretive dance in the truest sense of the word. Indeed no one I spoke to regarding this dance had deciphered the same story. I had imagined a desert and that the dancers were working together to survive. A friend of mine had seen a love triangle and another had believed there was no story at all, just dance for the sake of dance (l’art pour l’art!). It definitely got us all thinking, talking, debating (agreeing to disagree).
The second part (and my personal favourite) included more ballet and a much more sombre feel. It was executed with such precision and such feeling that the viewer could not help but be immersed.
Last was a more conventional story of a doomed love affair told with a haunting narration and (as always) the fluid and expressive dancing of Natalia.
The performance was a unique experience and with tickets from £14.40, it’s
certainly a fairly priced and fun little thing to do in London town. I also
understand that this performance is the first to be commissioned by Ms Osipova
in her pursuit of communicating different artistic expressions. Though I recognise that this work was not the most breath-taking performance I had ever witnessed, Osipova's talent is undeniable, her push for something innovative and new is exciting and I
can’t wait to see what she does next.
