The Guardian's review covers "Leather Jacket", a new dance work by choreographer Oona Doherty, which premiered at Bold Tendencies, the converted multi-storey car park venue in Peckham, London. Doherty made her name with acclaimed early pieces such as "Hope Hunt" and "Hard to be Soft" and followed a more conceptual work, "Specky Clark", with this looser, less conceptual piece, described by the reviewer as focusing on the raw physical effort of performance rather than complex ideas.

Eight dancers, dressed in the titular leather jackets, perform under bright fluorescent lights, building rhythm through foot slaps, thigh slaps and bounces that evolve into Doherty's own take on Irish step dance, set to a shift from electronic music to experimental Irish folk by Cormac Begley. The review praises the collective, unpolished energy of the dancers as they sweat, pant and laugh together between sections, calling their presence "real", though it notes the movement itself is not especially inventive and that at 45 minutes the piece stays tightly contained rather than building to a dramatic turn.
