MAK Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Me too. Had completely forgotten about rehearsal venue. I did have it confirmed that casting/photos is definitely Tues 26th June (as inevitably we have clashes 😱). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatasmum Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I have a bit of a dilemma, there are 4 Fridays when we need to get to the rehearsal venue for 4pm. School finishes at 3.15 but we'll be travelling from Derby to Nottingham. She only has one lesson in the afternoon but it's Maths or Science on Fridays. School have been really good about the time off for the dress rehearsal and are also allowing my DC's to miss a day when my eldest graduates. I just feel like it would be pushing it to ask if I can collect her at the start of lunch.

AdageKitty Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 When my DD did Coppelia earlier this year, the first hour always consisted of warm up ballet exercises so if you struggle to get time off from school, they're really understanding about it at the EYB (I also overheard that it is for this reason that they allocate the first hour for warm ups). It's then followed by the actual casting/rehearsals. So I wouldn't worry  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletlife4me Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Can anyone tell me about  the senior audition please? Is it flats or  is the entire audition on pointe? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArucariaBallerina Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 @Lifeisgood there is no Pointework in the auditions... All on flat for all groups! You will only need to do pointe at Casting if you get in, but if you are not on pointe there are still Pointework parts for seniors x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatasmum Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 We have the casting in Nottingham this afternoon. Quite excited about it. I'm collecting DD 15 minutes early from school but she won't have time to get changed beforehand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Good luck to your dd @Tatasmum. Â Out of interest, how long after casting is it generally until you find out the part they've been given, or is that shared when rehearsals start? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Oh really, that's great thank you everyone. I do rather like this "not being made to wait" approach that EYB has 😊 (appreciate it doesn't work in all scenarios). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-shirts are then available to purchase at rehearsals (not compulsory!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoglett Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 So DD is a 'party guest' and something else that she can't remember - 'they wore a puffy dress and lots of feathers' ? ???  Anyway, she's come home very happy.  Has anybody got experience of Cinderella in Hollywood? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArucariaBallerina Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hello, just a quick question (I think!), What parts are available in 'Aurora's Wedding'? I presume it is act 3 of Sleeping Beauty? If so, is it roles like Bluebird etc?  Thank you everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointetoes Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yes it’s Act 3 but Bkuebird is a principle role, it includes jewels, Cinderella, guests and others but we can’t fully remember. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuddled Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Does anyone know whether the dress rehearsal in the theatre is open to parents to watch, with EYB? I’m wondering whether to book a Saturday evening ticket and arrange babysitting, or whether I’ll get to watch the Friday dress rehearsal anyway and so can avoid faffing around finding a babysitter for Saturday evening (this is for Swan Lake in Wimbledon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 No, parents aren't usually able to watch dress rehearsals. Sometimes EYB sell tickets for the dress rehearsal to local schools at a reduced price so if you know anyone who is taking a school party you could maybe get in with them I suppose, but I have never heard of tickets going on general sale. Normally parents get to watch the last run through at the rehearsal venue but not the dress rehearsal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointetoes Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The Friday afternoon dress rehearsals is for your daughters schools and local schools  ( appreciation this one is in the holidays) You are invited to watch the whole thing on the last day of rehearsals BUT there are no costumes, staging etc because it’s in the rehearsal venue. It really is worth getting tickets to see the actual performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We’ve bought our tickets to see Swan Lake but I’m a little paranoid about how few have been sold! Someone tell me there’s a rush towards he end! Hate the thought of them all dancing to empty seats because it’s the summer hols! Massive excitement in our house over tomorrow’s casting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becca Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hello everyone! Does anyone know if the casting session is when they buy the t-shirts? So, should I bring cash, I guess is the question! Looking forward to meeting some of you tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casting one was rather hectic, they were signing parents up for Chaperones etc. Edited June 26, 2018 by Tatasmum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
