Singapore Dance Theatre's Masterpiece in Motion: Nils Christe's Organ Concerto shines (Dance Review)

It has been a while since I caught a Singapore Dance Theatre performance and many new dancers have since joined.  The first piece, George Balanchine's Theme and Variations, started off slowly for the evening's programme.  It could be opening night jitters, but the pairing of Rosa Pak and Kenya Nakamura seemed nervous.

The Organ Concerto choreographed by Nils Christe and set to music of Francis Poulenc however was a totally different picture.
The choreography was beautiful to watch, especially the glides and sweeps across the stage.  The dancers also seemed to have better energy in this piece.

Lambarena has been performed quite often by SDT.  I do not really like Val Caniparoli's piece before but somehow I enjoyed the dancers' performance that evening. The dancing, lights, costumes, music seemed to click.

Overall, it was a good production by the SDT.  In particular, it was great to see the Organ Concerto and I believe we would see more of this piece in the near future.
