ENB Nutcracker casting 2016/17
swanprincess replied to Bluebird's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Has anyone met Tamara at the Coli stage door after a show? I'd desperately love to meet her but wouldn't want to spend a fortune on tickets etc if she doesn't usually greet fans after a show, as I could get a cheaper matinee ticket to see a different dancer instead! -

I recently started helping with classes at my local dance school when I'm home for the holidays; I've been told I need a DBS check, which I have to obtain myself. I rang the county council who weren't much help, so just wondered whether anyone knows how to go about getting a DBS check? Thank you

Out of curiosity (trying to write a review!) does anyone know the name of the step that Odile does when she extends the leg croise devant then draws it through passe to releve to arabesque? I liked how Odette danced the same step in act 2, suggesting a connection between herself and Odile...

Audience Behaviour
swanprincess replied to Jan McNulty's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Lin that sounds awful!! hope you were okay afterwards!!! I have mild asthma which seems to have flared up recently- during Corsaire on Saturday I kept desperately needing to cough, but tried to hold it in until during the applause! The Stalls Circle Standing area seemed suspiciously overcrowded, there must have been at least double the amount of people standing than there were tickets for.... And WHY the gentleman sat just in front of me decided to noisily swap seats with his companion DURING a variation, I have no idea!!! Grr!! -
Is anyone watching the matinee tomorrow?? I'll be there

Do you go to the Stage Door?
swanprincess replied to Jan McNulty's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Might be worth taking a warm jumper and comfy shoes, as the wait can be quite long (I was waiting for 2 hours last night..... Sooooo worth it!! ) hope you enjoy the show x -
Whilst certainly not wishing to provoke an argument, Godots_arrived, I do disagree with your point about expensive seat holders. On this occasion I was very lucky to recieve Orchestra Stalls tickets as a birthday gift, however frequently watch ballets from stalls circle standing or balcony standing- my point is that regardless of how much money I pay for my ticket, I still support the ROH and deserve to be treated with respect by its staff. And whilst I can appreciate that some people may go to the ballet for the social aspect, I- and no doubt many others- go to broaden our horizons in the ballet world and appreciate the art form, which is primarily the purpose of going to a ballet. Yes, Zakharova was understandably exhausted, and spent no more than two or three minutes with me- but they were very precious moments that I will cherish for a lifetime. Lexy I do find your point about people 'wanting more from her' very thought-provoking, I most certainly wouldn't want any dancer to feel that I was wanting more from them by waiting at the stage door; I waited for almost 2 hours as a means of expressing my respect to Zakharova; had she not wanted a photograph with me then I would've totally respected her decision! I only wish I could've had time to buy a bouquet of flowers to give to her, so that she didn't feel that I was selfishly asking for an autograph without acknowledging that she had already given everything she had in the performance! (Just to clarify, Lexy, I am agreeing with your point, albeit in a slightly ashamed manner as I had naively assumed that dancers would always be keen to greet fans, so it hadn't really occurred to me that the dancer might perceive it as us at the stage door wanting more from her, I am grateful that you gave me that insight )

Amen to that, Cavycapers! Godots_arrived I don't fully understand your point; do you mean that the patrons who paid for top price seats should've been treated better at the stage door? I agree!!

I agree that the woman in red was very rude though and do feel compelled to complain- had we left when she told us to, I was going to write on here to say that it was rude of Svetlana to leave without even greeting her fans, so I'm very glad that I know that the woman in red lied!! (In fairness to the woman, she could've just been doing what she was told to, although the way she she spoke to everyone- and counted us (!!!) seemed particularly irreverent.)
