[…] Black. Ballet diversity being what it is, a predominantly white cast delivers For What It’s Worth, inspired by singer Miriam Makeba (“Mama Africa”). It’s glowingly lit in burnt umber, costumed in rich green, blue and orange. November co-created the score with Alex Wilson, and his satisfyingly full-fat movement pulses through an ensemble led by Mayara Magri with lavish, wheeling arms, percussive handclaps and delicately fluting wrists.The only dud for me was the last piece, Jessica Lang’s relentlessly winsome Twinkle.

Set to a Brahms lullaby and Mozart’s variations on Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, it’s a skippity piece of sugary smiles and cute stylings (high fives, swimming arms).

It is certainly refreshing, though it should not be, to have a production that takes class seriously as a form of […]
