Dancing Times Magazine March 2015 Back Issue

We feature no fewer than four British-based choreographers in this month’s issue of Dancing Times, three of whom are celebrating significant anniversaries. David Bintley has been leading Birmingham Royal Ballet for 20 years, and he talks openly about his work as a choreographer and director to Paul Arrowsmith. Robert Cohan, who was instrumental in establishing contemporary dance in the UK, will be 90 this month and he discusses his career and current projects with Zoë Anderson. Also celebrating a significant birthday this month is Michael Corder, who expresses his concerns at the way choreography for classical ballet is heading with admirable frankness. Last but not least, Kenneth Tindall, a young dance maker based with Northern Ballet, writes about combining his career as a dancer and choreographer in Talking Point. We also highlight Dance UK’s forthcoming conference on the future of dance, and announce the winners of the 2014 Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards. Lastly, I would like to extend congratulations to our production editor, Simon Oliver, who married his fiancée, Rachael, on St Valentine’s Day. All at Dancing Times hope they have many happy years ahead of them.
