Broken Wings/ Nora/ The Rite of Spring *****
English National Ballet, Sadler’s Wells, 4th April 2019
Choreography was long a male preserve, yet it’s still sobering to learn that Tamara Rojo was dancing professionally for over two decades before she performed a ballet created by a woman. As artistic director of English National Ballet, ‘She Said’ was Rojo’s response, a 2016 triple bill of new creations from female choreographers. One of those works – Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s Broken Wings – returns in ‘She Persisted’, ENB’s sequel which also features Pina Bausch’s sensational Le Sacre du printemps and the world premiere of Nora, created by the company’s own Stina Quagebeur.
