    REPEAT Giselle: Belle of the Ballet - BBC 4 Mon 16 Mar - 12:15am-1:15am (Freeview:106 Virgin:107 BT:106 Freesat:107) Dancer and artistic director Tamara Rojo explores the ballet about a peasant girl who is seduced and betrayed by an aristocrat, which has been a defining role for many acclaimed ballerinas. She examines the ballet's origins in 1840s Paris and spiritual themes, and goes behind the scenes on two very different contemporary productions - a traditional restaging and a modern reinvention

    Don't know if this is worth watching but I thought I would put it up in case anyone is interested. Great British Railway Journeys BBC Two HD Thu 12 Mar 6:30pm-7:00pm (30 minutes) Piccadilly Circus to Gravesend. Michael Portillo journeys from Piccadilly Circus to Gravesend, visiting an exotic West End store that was popular among Victorian women and hearing how a Russian ballet company took London by storm in 1909. He also discovers the origins of netball and gymslips at North Kent College and meets the pilots of the Port of London Authority, founded in the early 20th century.

    It was indeed. And it added to the pleasure of the evening to be able to talk at the time.

    Having seen the cinema screening I was very glad to see DAAG and Cellist live this evening. From that Ampi I could still get the humour of DAAG and I thought the Cellist was much better when I could see the whole, (though that may be seeing it a second time) and such a moving ballet. I also had the pleasure of sitting next to two people who were very musical and happy to talk ballet.

    REPEAT Darcey Bussell: Looking for Margot Monday 9th March on BBC Four from 1:15am to 2:15am Documentary in which Darcey Bussell uncovers the life of Margot Fonteyn, who inspired generations of ballerinas and who, with her late flowering partnership with a much younger Rudolf Nureyev, created the most dazzling ballet partnership in history. Yet behind the scenes, Darcey discovers that Margot's life was marked by tragedy and disappointment. She barely knew her father and was dominated by her well-meaning, fiercely ambitious mother. When Margot finally married, she did so to a man she had loved from afar for many years, who turned out to be very different from her expectations. Darcey speaks to many people who have not spoken about Margot before and travels from London to New York and Panama to reveal how Margot lost out in love, got drawn into a failed foreign revolution, danced on for far too long and died alone and in poverty, miles from home.

    7 pm live stream, you can get an alert by clicking the notification bell. Tune in from 7pm for an exclusive look into rehearsals for Creature, Akram Khan’s new ballet set to premiere 1 – 8 April at Sadler’s Wells. In this masterclass, Lead Principals Jeffrey Cirio and Erina Takahashi will be coached by repetiteur Mavin Khoo followed by a short Q&A. More info ► https://www.ballet.org.uk/creature Subscribe for regular ENB films ► http://bit.ly/ENBSubscribe Watch more ENB films ► https://www.youtube.com/enballet A new ballet by Akram Khan, his second full-length production for English National Ballet. Following the pivotal impact of Dust and Giselle, Akram Khan returns to English National Ballet for his third collaboration with us. Creature is an unearthly tale of exploitation and human frontiers inspired by Georg Büchner’s expressionist classic Woyzeck, with shadows of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Drawing on themes of abandonment, isolation and the fragility of the mind, Creature is the tale of an outsider and the search for belonging. Khan is joined by a brilliant creative team of Academy Award-winning designer Tim Yip, composer and sound designer Vincenzo Lamagna, lighting designer Michael Hulls and dramaturg Ruth Little.
