Jane S Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I am sad to record the death last week of Judith Percival, well known as a writer and critic under her professional name, Judith Cruickshank. She also posted on ballet.co and on this site as Alymer - her middle name - and her sane and authoritative voice, backed by an immense store of knowledge and experience, will be greatly missed. She had many friends both in and outside the dance world and her death has come as a great shock to us all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. I was in an 'invitation only' group online and she was in it; always funny and always so knowledgeable. RIP Judith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 She was definitely one of the better and more rational critics of her time. I am sorry to hear we have lost her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thank you, Jane, for letting us know. I always wondered who Alymer was, since he/she seemed to know such a lot, but never made the connection. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAB Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Although not a close friend I remember both Judith and John with affection, both such good dance writers and really nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
