“…a superlative and intelligently programmed evening of modern ballet, danced with love.”
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph, 4 July 2008

Wayne Eagling’s Resolution
“The choreography emerges like quick emotional snapshots…”
Debra Craine, The Times, 4 July 2008

“Resolution clearly comes from the heart and the nine dancers give it their all. “
Debra Craine, The Times, 4 July 2008

“…a combination of radiant intensity and serene restraint…”
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph, 4 July 2008

“…it is poised between despair and transcendence, moving from images of exuberant flight to a man falling in the arms of his two male partners.”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian, 4 July 2008

David Dawson’s A Million Kisses to my Skin
“Dawson’s sleek choreography, set to the felicitous rhythms of a Bach piano concerto, manages to flatter the nine white-clad dancers while also spurring them on to greater technical achievements.”
Debra Craine, The Times, 4 July 2008

“…David Dawson's A Million Kisses to My Skin (2000) fizzes with elation.”
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph, 4 July 2008

“…he manages, amazingly, to keep pace with Bach's own rhythmic invention, maintaining a precisely swerving collision course between his choreography and the music,”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian, 4 July 2008 on David Dawson

“Dawson's clever, heartfelt choreography teases the brain as well as the senses and it raises ENB's dancers to new standards of focused technical assurance.”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian, 4 July 2008

Lander’s Etudes
 “…played with great zip by ENB’s orchestra conducted by Gavin Sutherland.”
Debra Craine, The Times, 4 July 2008

“Its rumbustious exuberance and whip-cracking allegro bring out the best in everyone. “
Debra Craine, The Times, 4 July 2008

“…an explosion of virtuosity that must have left the poor ENB's dancers' legs quivering like perfectly toned jellies.”
Mark Monahan, The Telegraph, 4 July 2008

“…Elena Glurdjidze in the ballerina roles, who ranges delicately from minxy sylph to athletic princess”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian, 4 July 2008
