ERROL WHITE COMPANY: BREATHE For years, we watched Errol White dance for Scottish Dance Theatre and Phoenix; Davina Givan for the same, plus Richard Alston Dance Company. But since 2010, the duo have been doing their own thing with their own company, and appear to be loving the challenge. Latest offering, Breathe, is billed as a tender duet that explores shared history, trust and the bonds that remain even during times apart. ■ Studio at Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Fri 10 & Sat 11 Oct.
