1: BalletBoyz – Life


The always inventive, always entertaining male company explores the tension between life and death in a double bill, commissioned from Pontus Lidberg and Javier de Frutos.

Sadler’s Wells, EC1, Wed to 24 Apr

2: Scottish Ballet: Swan Lake


Stripping this work of its familiar gothic setting, David Dawson aims to create “a blank page”, in which he can focus on the ballet’s essence: its music, characters and themes.

Theatre Royal, Glasgow, Tue to 23 Apr

3: The Rebel Man Standard

Among the highlights of this festival are Zinzi Minott’s Movement For Queers, Charlotte Cooper’s How Do Fat People Dance? and Minott and Zia X’s Speaking Truth To Power Ain’t Gonna Pay The Bills.

Guest Projects, Sunbury House, E8, to 24 Apr
