Nana Lily Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hello Balletco'ers! Around two to three years ago the RBS did an outreach day at Covent Garden with the Musical Theatre Coach from the Paris Opera Ballet. Unfortunately my girls were unable to attend. Did any of you out there have children who attended, how did they find the workshop, and does any one remember his name? I have looked out for it since on the website, but it doesn't seem to have been repeated, although in May a ballet teacher from Paris Opera Ballet did a class. I remember we received a leaflet via JA's We do have a forum member based in France, maybe you can help? Many thanks NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm afraid I can't! I didn't even know POB had a Musical Theatre Coach! Very surprising as they don't even do Musical Theatre... Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Lily Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks afab, yes they use him for stage craft and performance coaching for the ballet students. I believe White Lodge also have done Stage Craft in the past, not sure if they still do, but sure someone on the forum will be able to comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Lily Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 A little update on Paris Opera Ballet School for you afab....page 72 in the July edition on the Dancing Times features a report of the recent workshop by Carole Arbo. "As they get older and more experienced, training diversifies to include singing, contemporary dance and Jazz.". NL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Maybe Nana Lily is referring to Scott Alan Prouty, head of music and musical expression at the POB school. I believe that even the youngest POB students take and greatly enjoy his classes in musical expression. And the song-and-dance part of the annual POB demonstrations in December (usually the finale of the younger students' performance) always goes down well with audiences too.

Nana Lily Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thank you Yaffa!!! I was beginning to think I had dreamed about the workshop. NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celb Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I remember the flyers re the workshop but I'm sure it clashed with a JA day. I'm glad you got your question answered NL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
