Working Title
Cross Connection Ballet, an extra curricular activity for a group of Royal Danish Ballet dancers under the direction of dancers Cedric Lambrette and Constantine Baecher is an impressive company, if being a company is measured by the ability to attract dancers to work for free, to produce a number of new choreography, to attract sponsorship and to market the company though all media platforms, not the least social media. They are a model in the way the present the company, combine a program with an exhibition, produce nice video snippets, arrange after performance intros with choreographers. And of course they do not forget to press a flyer into the hands of the audience at exit point, so we know when their next performance is scheduled.
So much skill and understanding on how to present a company with the total packet. And it is the more commendable as this company is not a full-time effort.
But one does not judge a company on presentation skills alone. Looking at the works presented it was unfortunately a mixed bag.
