If you go to see just one dance show during the fringe, make sure it’s Scottish Dance Theatre’s N.Q.R. (Not Quite Right) and Drift. This performance is entertaining, thrilling and jaw dropping thanks to some insanely talented dance and choreography.
In contrast to some other Scottish Dance Theatre performances, NQR is filled with fantastic lifts and energetic routines. Not only are these dancers very talented, with flawless technique and incredible grace, but they clearly have a passion for dance which shines through on stage. The two performances are so engaging and clever that they’ll have you on the edge of your seat.
The first piece, a duet performed by James MacGillivray and Natalie Trewinnard, is stunning and a thrill to watch. With perfect choreography and impeccable dancing, it’s hard not to sit open-mouthed in amazement. The lifts alone are unbelievably beautiful and intense to watch, as some look rather dangerous. The second piece, performed by the whole company, is quirky and humorous at points, yet still a beautiful performance to experience. The variety within it also makes it an exciting dance to watch and get caught up in.
Both pieces inspire you to think about life, as various themes emerge from the performances.
All in all, Scottish Dance Theatre is a show not to be missed.
5/5
