'If you grew up during Spicemania, then you’ll appreciate how surreal it is to see Sporty Spice's familiar upper-arm tattoos emerge from a sleek leotard, not an athletic tank top' 🟠 Marianka Swain reviews Mel C's dance debut at Sadler's Wells ★★★
how did we get here?, Sadler’s Wells, review: Mel C’s intimate dance debut spices up the modern scene
The former Spice Girl’s show with Jules Cunningham and Harry Alexander is a big challenge – and an exposing oneIf you, like me, grew up during, then you’ll appreciate how surreal it is to see the oh-so-familiar upper-arm tattoos belonging to Mel C emerge not from an athletic tank top, but from a sleek leotard – and on the main stage at Sadler’s Wells.
And there are several. While she acquits herself admirably , dancing alongside Cunningham and their long-time collaborator Harry Alexander, you do see the differences between the pros and the wannabe. Chisholm struggles to hold the tricky slow balances , and can’t match their fluidity and dynamics. You become aware of the mechanics of each pose, like a yoga class.
Yet Chisholm does bring a thrilling commitment to it – both the movement and the underlying emotion. Danced on a reflective black stage, the show reminded me of those endless lockdowns, staring into the “black mirrors” of our phone and computer screens, and then that electrifying reunion with other people. It’s similarly joyful when this trio begins to connect, comfort and build off each other, rediscovering their bodies.
