Live Performance Review: Life in Progress: Performed by Sylvie Guillem (Edinburgh International Festival (E.I.F.) 2015), Sunday 09.08.2014 19:30, The Festival Theatre, Edinburgh 

This is a performance I attended upon recommendations from my sister and aunt. Sylvie is a French Ballerina of world renown who throughout 2015 is on a world wide final tour at the age of 50. The programme contained four different dance pieces mixing old and newly commissioned. One of the pieces did not appear to contain Sylvie in any way and I did wonder why it was included. Having said this all four pieces were of a very high standard. Sylvie herself was captivating and remarkable to watch in terms of strength, flexibility and fluidity. An absorbing and uplifting treat. 

Rating: 10/10.
