English National Ballet: She Persisted

Female choreographers are still appallingly underrepresented in the ballet world, but English National Ballet boss Tamara Rojo is going some way towards challenging that. She's following up the company's 2016 all-female mixed bill 'She Said' with 'She Persisted', a new collection of female-led work. Is it a bit tokenistic? Maybe. But it's also a welcome platform for artists like Stina Quagebeur, who's getting her first mainstage commission with 'Nora', a new ballet inspired by Ibsen's 'A Doll's House'. The line-up also includes 'Broken Wings', Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s richly-costumed biopic of Frida Kahlo. And there's also a chance to see the late choreographer Pina Bausch’s legendary (and very muddy) take on 'Le Sacre du Printemps'.
