RuthE Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ah! Good to see Leticia Stock isn't leaving permanently (at this point)... I didn't realise it was possible for a dancer to continue on the Aud Jebsen programme for more than one year. I wonder why? (Has Amelia Palmiero spent a significant portion of the 2017/18 season injured?) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really impressed during his time at the RBS and I was disappointed when he gave up his 2016/17 Aud Jebsen apprenticeship (to dance with the Paris Opera Ballet) I was, therefore, thrilled to see his name on the list of joiners.

Top of the item on the ROH Website: "Today, The Royal Ballet announces leavers and joiners for the 2018/19 season. As previously announced, Cesar Corrales joins The Royal Ballet as First Soloist. Former Royal Ballet School student Joseph Aumeer also joins the Company as an Artist." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My fault I started to read the comment about Corrales and thought ...know that ...and then skipped and carried on reading further down. RuthE will send you a PM later on ....seems I owe you an apology on another bit of forgetfulness of mine! But have just had orders to water the plants in the garden NOW which are "all dying"( bit of an exaggeration) whilst I'm frivolously here on the iPad!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So very pleased for Joe who carried out his lower school training at Elmhurst and can still be seen performing in their promotional video when he was in year 11! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springbourne3 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 There’s a wealth of young talent amongst this year’s joiners - should be very interesting to see them develop within the company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Beyond thrilled that RB has signed Joseph Aumeer Congratulations to him. Interestingly, Fernando Montano is cast as the Gypsy Boy in The Two Pigeons in February. It is actually rather a pity that the 2017/18 Aud Jebsen Young Dancers who are joining the company were included in the list of promotions. Maybe there are reasons why Amelia Palmiero is being given time - to secure a contract elsewhere or wait until there is an RB vacancy? Unusually, there will be 8 Aud Jebsens at the start of 2018/19. The size of the company is growing: 95, excluding Montano and Stock, plus the 8 Aud Jebsens. There will surely be more leavers as next season progresses as some names are 'going missing' from the casting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the only castings published at this stage are for the main roles, surely it would only be principals who could be noticeably missing? As I recall, no principals are totally missing for the Autumn, although one or two seem to have relatively little lined up. Are you looking more at who seems to be missing in the new year, such as for Don Q ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that people have already mentioned that Nehemiah Kish has Bay Middleton in Mayerling then no headline roles, that Thiago Soares is shown only for Rudolf and Winter Dreams, and Edward Watson is listed for Rudolf alone. Among the women, Hikaru Kobayashi has not been on stage this year and does not appear to be doing anything after her Marie Larische in Mayerling. I have based this on casting fact although I do accept that some secondary roles, such as Espada in Don Quixote, are sometimes played by Principals.

yumiko Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I went throught the dancer list, but I can't find Joseph Aumeer. Is his name slipped by error or him chaning the direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) He’s definitely there but his name is in black instead of highlighted in red: http://www.roh.org.uk/about/the-royal-ballet/dancers ....presumably because they don’t yet have his photo and biography.

Esmeralda Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Interesting that there are now so many dancers and even a (little) late joiner. By the way, they also updated Joe Aumeer and put a photo and biography of him on the page - two or three days ago it was still grey and not highlighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonty Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Looking at Sophie's biography, it would seem she has performed principal roles elsewhere. It must be difficult for someone to join a new company, and find themselves back in the corps again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballett Magdeburg is a really small company with something around 20 dancers and some rotating in the soloists/principals roles. So I say she hasn´t completely "forget" how to feel in a corps again.

Xandra Newman Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I am pretty sure that anyone dancing in a small company (even having danced soloist roles) would be more then happy to be a Corps dancer with the RB! Dancers from all over the world dream of dancing with the RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Soares mentioned it in his interview to Dancing Times long time ago that he was dancing mail roles with the previous company, but his frist roles with RB was one of coffin beares in Mayerling. It was a shock to him. Since then he got promoted to Principal and casted Prince Rudolf for some seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a shock to him. I have a striking example from another part of show business. A friend got leading roles in major Hollywood films throughout her teens but had little stage experience. So she joined the RSC - and spent the first two years of her time there doing no more than putting chairs on the stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Actually Joseph Aumeer did some pretty significant things with Paris Opera Ballet yet he is now carrying on the portrait of the Emperor's Mistress in Mayerling and, on some nights, getting shot in the hunting scene.

LinMM Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I did know about this because of her connection with another ex Royal dancer ......so may be getting to know her quite well soon ....but can't say more as don't know if any of her future plans are in the public domain or not! Anyway wishing her every success with her life after the Royal Ballet. It must be quite sad to say goodbye to many colleagues who you have also been at school with so together a long time.
