My first rehearsal to blog this year: Armenia is AMAZEBALLS! First rehearsal of the day and Artsvik’s performance is stunning! It’s very simple, her alone on stage with a slow smoulder to start, that just grabs your interest and you’re immediately rapt. She does some gesticulating, there’s some quick and jerky camera edits, before she’s joined by two dancers, who look like they’d belong in a modern, eastern-hued update of Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love video. They join in with some group gesticulation behind Artsvik, all wavy handed with echoes of multi-limbed Hindu goddesses. Vocally she’s perfect. I absolutely adore this. Top 10 at least.
