Ian Macmillan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I've just received this via a ROH email. There's more detail than I've seen thus far under the various "Read More" buttons, but I don't know to what extent it helps you, Alison: http://worldballetday.com/program/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 surely it can't hurt them to watch the National Ballet of Canada or San Francisco Ballet???? all of these feeds are in the morning and midday of the time zone of the local ballet companies, because, umm, that's when they have class and rehearsals. I have only just returned to read this thread today. The point I was originally making was simply that the timing of the live feeds is a little inconvenient for those with busy working lives, and also that it would be nice for ballet students if it had coincided with school holidays. If my comments on this thread are only going to be met with patronising sarcasm then I shan't bother posting any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 T4B: Hang about! There's no sarcasm whatsoever in that response. The reality of this event is that it will run over 24 hours, starting in Australia in just 4 hours time, and it will run on into early Friday UK time - and the participating companies will naturally be shown within their normal working days. And in the UK, I rather fear that the participating companies' Summer breaks will have coincided very much with school holidays. But you're right, the timing of a day-long event will inevitably be inconvenient for those at work during part of it. I never enjoyed flying from Japan to California for some 11 hours overnight and landing the day before I left. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Well, it's just a fact that we aren't all interested in the same thing, and for some of us it really isn't as interesting to watch NBoC or SFB as to watch our home company. For others, it is. So while it can't hurt to watch other companies, hopefully we're going for a more pleasant experience than "can't hurt." I guess there's always going to be a degree of mutual incomprehension between the two groups; I remember running into much the same argument a while back when saying I'd rather watch RB performing Alice in Wonderland on DVD than NBoC performing it live.

Naomi M Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think it is a great opportunity to see companies we don't know so much. We should be more broad-minded, not just to see their home companies and the super stars, and open our eyes to new findings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It isn't xenophobic to be disappointed that you can't watch your home team playing live because you are at work (which is where I am now) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It isn't xenophobic to be disappointed that you can't watch your home team playing live because you are at work (which is where I am now) know what you mean - at 11am I'll be studiously watching a laptop being encrypted. That it has a browser window open on ballet day is a pure coicidence, honest! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilian88 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hello everyone, the official link for World Ballet Day Livestreaming (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=85zbac0wfTk) doesn't work in Germany, for "rights issues" someone has the same problem and maybe knows an alternative channel?
