Our cover story is dedicated to Kyle Abraham, exploring his artistic journey through memory – which forms the basis of his work “Cassette Vol. 1”, coming to Italy in October.
In this issue, you’ll find all the ‘back-to-work’ events, the must-see shows and festivals, and reviews of the summer’s debuts, from Festival dei Due Mondi, Venice Biennale Danza, Hamburg Ballet, Montpellier Danse, Simon Le Borgne, The Royal Ballet.
We also meet Matteo Miccini, the Italian Principal dancer on the cusp of new adventures, whilst in the ‘A Director reflects’ column, we feature Kevin O’Hare, the Royal Ballet guide, alongside the director of the Royal Ballet School, Iain Mackay, in the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
In the culture section, there’s an intriguing feature on signature choreography in music videos and pop music tours.
We pay a fitting tribute to Simone Forti, a seminal postmodern artist who passed away this summer.
