amum/Cathy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm wondering if the casting for the first production of Swan Lake has taken place yet? Ds is going to be in the second production, at Newcastle, and we're getting very curious to know what the parts/dances are going to be. We know 13 boys (8 senior and 5 junior) got through the auditions for Newcastle. Also friends are wondering about the dances/parts for the girls, so if/when anyone hears about the Dartford castings PLEASE could they post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wow, 13 boys? My goodness! There were only 8 auditioning at Aylesbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think Cathy was after any news from the Dartford casting - she'll know when the Newcastle one is since her son is participating. Does anyone know if the Dartford production has been cast yet, and if so what parts there are for the different age groups? It sounds like a very interesting production, and if the pics on the EYB Facebook page are anything to go by there are going to be some lovely costumes.

Pups_mum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks C4D - I was starting to think I might have missed something. I had taken a gamble on the rehearsals being in the same place and booked some accomodation nearby so I'm quite relieved to hear that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemongirl Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Cathy, my dd is doing Swan Lake in Dartford and they had the casting a few weeks ago. Apparently she is a courtier with about 7 other girls. I have no idea what this entails. Think she was hoping to be cast as a cygnet but they went to slightly older girls (she's 10). She's very excited anyway - rehearsals start at half term. We are still waiting to hear if dd is going to get a place at Aylesbury. Apparently she is first reserve and the deadline is today. Does anyone know of anyone accepted but not taking up the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My DD and her two friends are definitely taking up their Aylesbury places.....mind you, last time, rumour has it that one or two of the older girls dropped out after the casting day, so you never know!

Lemongirl Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 After the casting? Why would that be? And surely you'd have paid by then...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I know! Allegedly it was because they weren't happy with the part they were given....and yes, payent would have been made in full by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do please let us know how the rehearsals go and if you hear more about the different dances! Good luck for hearing about Aylesbury. You've confused me though - is this same dd??

Lemongirl Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes it is Cathy - she has a place at Dartford for Swan Lake in March and she also auditioned for Aylesbury which is the summer holidays. Different times of year so in theory she could do both. Apparently Miss Lewis said normally a few don't take up their places and as she's first reserve she should have a chance of a place.

celb Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Some children also get injured after the casting and before the rehearsals -I know of at least 2 girls who dropped out of Manchester's Giselle for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amum/Cathy Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 How did Charlie get on C4D? Thought I spotted her - was she wearing an Elmhurst Associates hoody? A is a courtier and is doing the Spanish dance with "some girls" and 2 other boys - D and H who both did Coppelia. The older and taller 5 boys are split between Hungerian and Russian dances. We know a younger boy who is a nephew of the Tzar. We know nothing about the girls' dances except there are SWANS! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cathy, after a week of rehearsals at half term I now know a bit more: there are 27 courtiers of which dd is one. Seems most girls of her age seem to be courtiers but some are also doing the Spanish dance. The youngest children are nieces/nephews. Dd has 3 dances - two in in Act 1 and one in Act 3. The Polonnaise is her favourite! It's all going really well and dd is loving it. She's also now got a place to do Sleeping Beauty in Aylesbury so very happy!

Thank you so much for posting Balletmum1972 That's really interesting to hear. Well done to your dd for getting her Sleeping Beauty place as well - lovely that she has that to look forward to when Swan Lake is over. So do you know which music she is dancing her 3 dances to then? We have been playing the Spanish dance music non stop in this house since tuesday, but of course we have no idea what music they will use for his courtier dances... So pleased for Charlie C4D, well done on being a cygnet really looking forward to it now.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
