Jonathan Gray was born in Wales and studied at The Royal Ballet School, Leicester Polytechnic and Wimbledon School of Art. He was a member of the curatorial department of The Theatre Museum, London, from 1989 until 2005. He joined Dancing Times in 2005, and was editor of the magazine from 2008 until its closure in 2022.
As the British dance scene becomes engulfed, at this time of year, by productions of The Nutcracker, I’d like to take this opportunity, in my second Letter from London, to look back at some of the performances I saw during the summer and autumn. This latest Letter will not be exhaustive, nor will it cover every dance company that has appeared here, but it does take us out of the capital for a brief look at some of the dance companies performing on tour.
As you might expect from one of the world’s busiest dance capitals, there is always lots to see in London. In this Letter from London, I bring you just a flavour of what has been happening here in the spring and early summer of 2025.
