Zoe Williams states in her column (Watching people watch the World Cup is a nightmare, 6 December) that she would prefer “a branch of mime or a contemporary dance based on football players and their physical expression of joy” to all existing mime and contemporary dance.
Perhaps Labanotation, a dance piece inspired by Archie Gemmill’s spectacular goal for Scotland in the 1978 World Cup, conceived by the artist Alec Finlay and choreographed by Andy Howitt, would fit the bill; or A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football by the Norwegian choreographer Jo Strømgren; or maybe Score, a dance based on football, by Sharon Watson, former creative director of Phoenix Dance Theatre.
