SPD444 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 For all those who, like me, adore this wonderful human being and dancer, she is being interviewed at the Association's meeting on Wednesday the 26th August. Would not miss this for anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiz Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I love, love, love Alina. Johan Kobborg is so lucky! (So is Alina though). It was a very sad day for me when they left the Royal Ballet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Go to ENB's Facebook page or Johan's Twitter feed (links below) for a picture of Alina rehearsing with Charlie watching her: https://www.facebook.com/EnglishNationalBallet https://twitter.com/kobborg This might be just what Alina fans need on an overcast Sunday.

SPD444 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 " I don't believe it" After looking forward to this since it was announced I have just heard on the news that there will be a tube strike that day. I could absolutely swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, I'd just checked my diary and noticed it, too Can you get into Kings Cross, Euston or even City Thameslink by other means? It might be walkable from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I never thought of that. There is an overland into Kings Cross goes through New Southgate. I imagine though that it would be cancelled wouldn't it, even if Alina could get their how many would there be in the audience. One for sure.

penelopesimpson Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I love, love, love Alina. Johan Kobborg is so lucky! (So is Alina though). It was a very sad day for me when they left the Royal Ballet. I was there on their last night and couldn't stop crying at the end. I still have no idea why they went and why RB seemed to make little effort to keep them. Osipova is fab as is Ed Watson and Steven Macrae but there is no couple at RB anywhere near their standard.

alison Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I imagine though that it would be cancelled wouldn't it, even if Alina could get their how many would there be in the audience. One for sure. Quite a lot, I expect. Not everyone is reliant on the Tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Quite a lot, I expect. Not everyone is reliant on the Tube. Oh, Alison. That sounds a bit harsh on those of us who will now have difficulty making it into Central London to hear Alina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Daniil Simkin has been posting photos from the World Ballet Festival and, if you go to each of the days (on the right of the page), you will see photos of Alina and Johan: http://www.daniilsimkin.com/photo-day-10-of-the-world-ballet-festival-in-tokyo-first-out-of-five-shows-of-program-b-four-more-to-go-photo-backstage-before-from-program-a-from-left-to-right-alina-cojocaru-johan-kobborg-k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Oh, Alison. That sounds a bit harsh on those of us who will now have difficulty making it into Central London to hear Alina. I'm sorry, I didn't intend it to be. I just assumed that many people would move heaven and earth, so to speak, if necessary, given how popular she is. After all, I don't know how booked the church and Alina's diary are - it might possibly be difficult to reschedule. And if they did, who's to say that the RMT won't schedule another strike and scupper it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPD444 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) The tube strike has been called off - so make sure you get to the Ballet Association on Wednesday night. Can't wait. Edited August 24, 2015 by SPD444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxette Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Are you sure the strike is off? What's your source? I'm currently listening to the news on Radio 4 and they've announced the strike will go ahead. The latest on the TFL website has no suggestion the strike has been called off: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/tube/tube-strike?cid=tube-strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The strike is off. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-34045753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
