This week's new dance

Nederlands Dans Theater, London NDT is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary and doing so on a grand scale. For this London season, there are two programmes of work, which are not only performed by all of the 50 dancers in the two NDT companies, but which represent four of the choreographers most closely associated with them. Honours naturally go to Jirí Kylián, for over four decades NDT's artistic director and resident dance maker. Kylián's oeuvre is represented by his masterly setting of Stravinsky's Symphony Of Psalms, with showings too of the Aboriginal-inspired Whereabouts Unknown, and the last work he made as the company's resident choreographer, Mémoires d'Oubliettes. Kylián's successors, choreographic duo Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, present Subject To Change, a lyrical duet set against an aggressive male quartet, and there's new work from newly appointed associate choreographer Johan Ingers. Sadler's Wells, EC1, Tue to 10 Jul Greenwich And Docklands International Festival, London Dance is always a major element in the Greenwich And Docklands Festival, and its last two days feature a variety of outdoor events across the area, from the spectacular Bolero Remixed, which features a huge cast of urban dancers in work inspired by the classic Ravel score, to Cascade, in which the dancers and aerialists of Motionhouse enact a heroic struggle against water in a flooded house. Saturday afternoon also sees an extraordinary concentration of dance events around Canary Wharf. This year's Dancing City features The Silver Tree, a mix of hip-hop and Chinese pole acrobatics; a new Native American-inspired work by Henri Oguike, Straw Dog; and French company Pied En Sol perform a duet inspired by the dance and music of traditional French music hall. Various venues, SE10 & E14, Sat & Sun, visit festival.org Slow Dancing, London One of the highlights of this year's Big Dance 2010 programme is the UK premiere of David Michalek's extraordinary installation Slow Dancing. This series of 50 slow motion video portraits features dancers and choreographers from around the world, each of whom were filmed dancing a five-second sequence, which is then stretched out to 10 minutes. This infinitesimal pace gives a peculiar access to the dancer, showing up intimate details of flesh and movement style that would normally escape the naked eye. Among those featured in Michalek's installation are dancers Wendy Whelan (New York City Ballet) and Shantala Shivalingappa (Kuchipudi soloist) and choreographers William Forsythe, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Alexei Ratmansky.
