Diversions
Let’s dance
By Kim O’Connor
Returning with their new Triple Bill for 2006, Diversions Dance Company’s strongest quality, and probably the reason why audiences return year after year, is their fusion of contemporary dance with just about anything you can think of.
In this performance we find that ‘anything’ includes sheets of metal, those big exercise balls that are supposed to make your tummy muscles wonderful, and the alphabet.
Each dance in the hectic bill is infused with a distinct sense of humour and it is this that keeps any vague impulses of pretention firmly under control.
If you’ve never seen a dance performance before, Diversions are a great place to start. Beautiful to watch, surprisingly quirky and unfailingly creative: you won’t be disappointed.
