Let’s go international. After covering the Climate Games in our first E-dition of the year, we return to Paris where Philip Brophy experiences EXIT, an attempt to engage with the scale of climate and political change. At the Tokyo Performing Arts Market, Philipa Rothfield finds herself engrossed in Pichet Klunchun’s transformation of elaborate folk ritual (photo above) into contemporary dance. In New York, where he’ll regularly correspond for RealTime, Australian dancer and writer Rennie McDougall interviews influential choreographer Miguel Gutierrez. Next week Jana Perkovic resumes her reports from Brussels and Alex Ferguson reviews the best of Vancouver’s wonderful PuSh Festival.
