alison Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Lovely indeed, thank you, Janet. Just such a shame that we generally don't get these sort of appreciations while dancers are alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I never expected to see a dancer's death being the subject of a piece in the Church Times . I've been regretting more than ever this week that none of his performances, and particularly his Swan/Stranger, have been committed to film (that I know of, anyway). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 A post from Matthew Bourne's New Adventures Facebook page: "Instead of receiving flowers the Ollivier family have set-up a fundraising page in memory of Jonny. All donations they receive will be split equally between London Air Ambulance & our charity Re:Bourne. Jonny was a role-model to hundreds of young dancers, so to continue his legacy, Re:Bourne will be setting up a project for young people with poor access to the arts in his hometown of Northampton." Here is a link to the Virgin Money page for anyone who may wish to donate: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/displaySomeoneSpecialPage.action?pageUrl=JonathanOllivier 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
