The facts and figures anchoring ArtsCross London impress: 30 dancers, 15 interpreters etc plus at the Asia House reception a small stage littered with partners. I admire Chris Bannerman’s style: both diplomatic and witty, he knows how to put across his words with a bounce that keep formulaic dullness at bay. There’s talk — from someone — of ‘the particularities of art process and practice’ which is exactly what ArtsCross is all about. The song in my head is ‘We are ArtsCross family, I’ve got all my partners/choreographers/dancers with me…’
