    Our Granddaughter was lucky enough to be cast as an extra and had a lovely time filming. A friend of hers was Posy's double for the point work. Great experience,

    It is very difficult to fully police glass being taken into theatres. At ours we do police it well at doors into the theatre but there have been times when people have taken glass in bottles and glasses in their bags which we have found abandoned at the pick up. Bar staff sell drinks in plastic "glasses" if going into the auditorium and anyone who arrives at the door with a glass is given a plastic "glass" to put their drink in but it is impossible to see what is in their bag and if they go to the lengths of concealing it there is not a lot we can do. Thankfully it's a fairly rare occurrence.

    32 books on ballet wide variety , some old and several now out of print. Sadly no longer will have room for them. I want them to go to a good home. Will need to be collected. West Sussex . I don't want any money but am keen for them to go where they will be appreciated as local book dealer said take them to the tip!

    I found Drosselmeyer rather bland for me, absolutely love Gary Avis in that role. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it and we were well attended at the local cinema with no technical problems. Nice start to Christmas.

    Central School of Ballet also taking part.

    We also really enjoyed seeing the dancers from Chile and an insight to their rehearsal of the work. The excerpt we saw showed what emotionally connected dancers they are.

    Love all of Christopher Bruce's choreography

    Yes not uncommon (bust reduction advice)

    Exactly body shaming is not the only issue.

    Look at the new program for younger students at Central, not every week and worth exploring.

    If you look at school web sites they should tell you when applications open.

    My granddaughter also danced with Northern Ballet a few years back and had a wonderful experience

    Unfortunately all these strikes affect people who are powerless to do anything about them. Those in a position to do so will be unaffected by them so no real incentive. So sad.

    Not in our experience, have had some high results from recordings

    Do look at what the program includes, some are just ballet others are broader. It depends on what you want from a scheme. Also some have longer days than others.

    "Nikinska, secret of the avant-garde" This ballet-biopic about the life of Nijinska is an all-new creation by choreographer Avatâra Ayuso, which features the dramaturgy of both Spanish poet Ignacio Vleming. - The production will premiere on July 22, 2023 at the Teatro Ballet de Santiago in Chile and will feature the Municipal de Santiago and the Santiago Philharmonic Orchestra. We talked to Avatâra Ayuso about this new production. And with the writer and theater critic Ignacio Vleming we talked about this project and also about his poem The Exquisite Revolution (The Beautiful Warsaw/poetry). . . #programaderadio #radio #rtve #lahoraazul #nijinska #municipaldesantiago

    Neither did ours and only the very few people with buses to catch left before the house lights went up.

    We had a very good turn out here in Worthing and a very mixed audience so not a "posh" crowd. They left delighted with their evening.

    I really rate Johan Inger. I remember him well from Basler Ballet. I am sure his Carmen will be well worth seeing.

    My comments aren't related to the ROH but the provincial theatres that I usher at and yes we are fully briefed and all or Duty Managers are skilled in the specific training mentioned above sadly this doesn't solve every problem we encounter. Most of our audiences are fabulous.

    What training would you suggest, we are all fully briefed and if they still persist the Duty Manager deals with it. Even they can sometimes have problems getting them to stop using the phone without creating a disturbing incident during a performance, particularly if the culprit is mid row. We honestly do try!
