Three choreographers created contrasting dance works to Nico Muhly's music, ranging from inventive spectacle to vacuous responses.
How to Be a Dancer in Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons, to give it its proper title, is typical of the Irish dance/theatre maker Michael Keegan-Dolan a seemingly anarchic, yet tightly structured piece, that draws heavily from Irish culture and keeps the audience interested in the ins and outs of a tale mixing the absurd with the all too mundane, laughter with the odd touch of pathos, eclectic music with outlandish props.
