    Basics

    RobR replied to Dancemom9's topic in Doing Dance

    We are also in North London. How old is your daughter and what level has she achieved?
  2. RobR
    Yes please. I'll pm you.

    All sorted. Thanks everyone

    If anyone is thinking of selling an SCS for Asphodel/Two Pigeons on Tuesday evening, I’m looking for one. Thanks

    Not sure that any of the female dancers would appreciate being described as 'larger', whether slightly or otherwise. Magri certainly isn’t 'larger'. Slightly taller perhaps but, given the relative heights of dancers currently in the RB, I’m not even sure about that 😊

    Double bill today, Alison

    Just back from a really enjoyable Milton Keynes matinee. The updated production is great and the performers uniformly terrific. Glenn Graham was outstanding.

    Hi Eva, I've pm'd you

    Sorry everyone. i appreciate I’m in a minority of those who have posted so far. Rather more 'cat among the pigeons' than Two Pigeons.

    Thanks Bridiem, I appreciate that point of view, but surely a review or opinion from an accredited expert on ballet; whether it be a journalist of the calibre of a Clarke, Craine or Mackrell, or a former and well regarded ballet dancer, must be both better informed and of more interest than that of an opinion or review posted by an anonymous forum poster?

    Whether one likes or dislikes the views/reviews of a professional journalist, they write under their own byline and their readers can, in deciding whether or not to read the reviews and articles, form an opinion based on what they write and what’s known about their background. I make the point that most of the Ballet Forum posts are written under pseudonyms (mine included) and readers have no way of knowing if the poster has any detailed knowledge or training of that of which they write (sometimes in very great detail). So, although I didn’t always agree with LJ, I appreciated and accepted his perspective and his credibility as a reviewer.

    Great photo. Did you take any of the Two Pigeons cast?
  13. RobR
    Dyer, Richardson & Dixon the three main men in AM. Clarke, Acri and Lukas BB in Two Pigeons.

    I have pm'd you

    Many happy returns

    Yes please Ruth. I’ll pm you

    And it also gives all the White Lodge children a wonderful opportunity to join the company and put into practice all the hard work they do in attempting to become ballet dancers. I’m pretty certain that all the former White Lodgers, whether or not still with the RB, have fond memories of debuting as a soldier or mouse.

    I fully agree, although if I have to be more specific to contribute to this thread: 1. Liam Scarlett's 'Swan Lake' (I was dreading the change but completely blown away by it and thought this version was amazing). 2. The Winter's Tale, because every time I see it it seems fresh and exhilarating . 3. Les Patineurs - I hadn’t realised Ashton could be so much fun. 4. La Bayadere - I thought the whole company bought into the dancing and acting and I loved the improved special effects.

    Capybara, I agree entirely. Perhaps the moderators could give those who want to post about cast change notifications their own thread, and leave this one to those posting about the Triple bill
  21. RobR
    I'm sure that this was very frustrating, but what did you think of the Triple bill?
  22. RobR
    Thanks but, sadly, not looking for 19
  23. RobR
    Which performance?
  24. RobR
    Yes please. I’ll pm you.
  25. RobR
    Hi Stellar I’ll pm you about 8 & 9 SCS tickets
