New English Ballet Theatre, Peacock Theatre, London
New English Ballet Theatre is an idealistic venture, a showcase company for young dancers and aspiring choreographers. It has influential patrons, including ballerinas Darcey Bussell and Marianela Nuñez, and a commitment to live music and new design. Synergies, NEBT's debut programme, had some lively dancing and good music, but too much thin choreography.
