REVIEW: Ballet Black

Reading Time: 2 minutesBallet Black presents Chanel DaSilva’s A Shadow Work, a (literal) dance and struggle between our “undesirable” self and our “pristine” self, and Cassa Panchos newest tour de force, ‘My Sister, The Serial Killer’, a gorgeous book to dance theater adaptation of Oyinkan Braithwaite’s best selling novel.

REVIEW: North by Northwest

Reading Time: 3 minutesAlfred Hitchcock’s 1959 cinematic masterpiece North by Northwest is no easy feat to adapt for stage. Known for its sharp dialogue, iconic set-pieces, and inimitable shots, it demands ingenuity and confidence to reimagine it in a theatre.

IN CONVERSATION WITH: Mattia Sedda

Reading Time: 2 minutesCHOIN is inspired by the pig call farmers use in Sardinia—“CHOIN, CHOIN!”—direct, ridiculous, and honest. It follows a Sardinian guy who comes to London (with broken English, a suitcase full of dreams, and a very questionable sense of class) to become a professional actor. He ends up in restaurant jobs, awkward auditions, and slowly builds his ultimate showcase—full of Shakespeare, slapstick, theatrical chaos, and a few too many ideas.  We sat down and had this conversation with its creator, Mattia.
