Among the eclectic entries on Becky Namgauds’ CV are dancing for Harry Styles and Vivienne Westwood, and rolling around in mud in her outdoor festival piece Rodadoras. The Heat is something different again, a long way from Harry’s House – although the house bit is right, as it’s entirely set in one living room. But in this one a naked woman is crouched on all fours on the arm of the sofa, looking like things might go feral.

Deckchairs fly, arms clash, bodies launch into the air as mods and rockers engage in a fierce Brighton seafront battle.

In brief, this double bill from Vancouver-based Ballet BC comprises one really great piece and one that starts promisingly but loses its way. Plus some incredible dancers. To the good stuff first: these dancers, the men especially, are so vividly alive in Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite’s Frontier, with quicksilver reflexes and fizzing energy, even though everything’s executed with total control. Soloists dressed in white dance Pite’s treacle moves as if you can see the gravity.
