SHARP MOVES
The Independent
|April 12, 2025
The brilliance of a British choreographic genius is evident in ‘The Forsythe Programme’, as the English National Ballet moves to his beat, be it club or classic
From the edgy snapshots of Rearray (London Edition 2025) to the joyful club energy of Playlist (EP), English National Ballet (ENB) is lucid and sharp in this celebration of William Forsythe. It’s part of the company’s ongoing relationship with one of the world’s most influential choreographers – a jewel in ENB’s crown, and one that it’s keeping diamond-bright.
Those brackets in the titles underline the way Forsythe likes to revise his works: adding, tweaking, reframing for different casts and different circumstances. Rearray started out in 2011 as a duet for French stars Sylvie Guillem and Nicolas Le Riche. Forsythe then reworked it as a trio and has reshaped it again for ENB.
