  Notes

  Best dance show I've seen this year! Although it was a reprise from last season, I especially liked the opening set, which benefited from both concision (being somewhat shorter than the second set) and cohesion (consisting of Rux' poetry recital over pre-recorded musical accompaniment) by comparison with the more diverse and sprawling Nevabawarldapece. Which isn't to say I disliked the première, only that I preferred the opener.
