It’s an issue that has been sparking all summer. While the dance scene has never appeared healthier, it is also one that looks distinctly alpha male. In the UK, choreographers such as Wayne McGregor, Matthew Bourne, Michael Clark and Russell Maliphant dominate our stages and our press. Even though plenty of women are out there – making very personal, very challenging work – few are producing the large-scale box-office hits delivered by their male peers.

Wayne McGregor et al, Alpha Males, seriously? If you want to look at a bunch of people who’ve been making the same crap for the last 15 years then you have your description.

There are plenty of “great” female dance makers but, naturally, it’s a completely unquantifiable term that cannot be proven.
