    I also wrote the Royal Ballet about the queues in the Chinese dance and I got a good acknowledgement from Rachel Hollings the Artistic Admin.

    I was very impressed to come across this news from Scottish Ballet about their attitude to the Roma people and how they changed the way they represented Gypsy or Traveller people in the 'Secret Theatre' production over Christmas. I have been impressed by the standard of ballet they perform and now I like them for their attitude as well. https://www.scottishballet.co.uk/articles/commitment-to-working-with-gypsy-roma-traveller-communities

    I was listening to an interview with France Chung in which she said that one of the reasons she joined SFBallet is because they pay so well.

    Thank you to @annekh510 for reminding me of the issues of queues (pigtails). After writing my response (above) I thought I should write to the RB which I duly did. Below is email and the reply: to the RBI want to commend the RB for updating the Chinese Dance in Nutcracker, it does not make me feel uncomfortable any more. However, it was when listening to Phil Chan of Final Bow for Yellowface that I realised the pigtail is a symbol of oppression and as such offensive to people of Chinese descent and others. I would like to suggest a different wig design to do away with this and hopefully in showing consideration many more people will be attracted to this wonderful art form. the Reply Your message has been forwarded to the Ballet Company. Thank you for taking the time to write to us about the wigs in the Chinese Dance. The conversation about eliminating outdated stereotypes has been really meaningful and we too hope that we can make ballet relevant and attractive for diverse audiences and performers. The choreographic changes were made to avoid causing offence and this is another element for us to consider. I will take this forward to the artistic team for discussion and, in the meantime, thank you for taking the time to raise this point.I hope you will have opportunity to enjoy The Nutcracker when it next returns.Best wishesRachelRachel HollingsArtistic AdministratorThe Royal Ballet Royal Opera House Covent Garden, London WC2E 9DD I also emailed Phil Chan (final bow for yellowface) with these emails, in case they have the opportunity to be in discussion on this topic. We had a very interesting conversation.
