The cover story is dedicated to a leading figure in contemporary dance, Virgilio Sieni. We met many more artists: Alessandra Ferri at the helm of the Wiener Staatsballett; Shahar Binyamini coming to the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto and Colours Festival in Stuttgart; the Italian born emerging choreographer - in the ranks of the Stuttgart Ballet - Vittoria Girelli.
You can find the highlights on the unmissable summer events, reviews from Italy (Rome Opera Ballet, La Scala Theatre Ballet, Marco d'Agostin, Silvia Gribaudi, Andrea Costanzo Martini, Opus Ballet, Festival Interplay) and the report from the Kylián Festival in Oslo and Ballet BC in London.
In the Culture section we discuss the relationship between dance and cinema. We commemorate Yuri Grigorovich and Alla Osipenko.
