Ekleido, choreographic duo Hannah Ekholm and Faye Stoeser, are noted for their mesmerising, flowing choreography, on stage and on film. Following a recent performance and associated events in South Devon as part of Kingsbridge Fair Week, the town's Harbour House contemporary art and wellbeing centre is giving visitors an opportunity to look further at the company's work.

David Mead reports on the "small but well-put together, and rather engaging exhibition." On to September 26, and well worth dropping in on if you are that way, he reckons.

"Framed by trees, open sky and a beautifully atmospheric set, the production embraces its surroundings with confidence... Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score has lost none of its appeal... McOnie’s choreography is frequently inventive and full of theatrical pleasure."

Zoë reviews the new production of Cats, directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie, now on at London's Regent's Park Open Air Theatre ahead of an extensive UK tour.

Framed by trees, open sky and an atmospheric set, the production embraces its surroundings with confidence, and the score has lost none of its appeal.
