I believe they are usually live-streamed as well. More information here: http://www.str.org.uk/events/lectures/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Sounds interesting, and it's free. Lecture by Keith Cavers under the aegis of the Society for Theatre Research. Swedenborg Hall, London, 7.30pm on Jan 11. Giselle is one of the most popular works in the modern ballet repertoire – we see it today in many productions some innovative and some traditional – but are any of them in any way ‘authentic’? By applying archaeological techniques to the ‘remains’ is it possible to form a clearer impression of the original production? I will be looking in detail at the vast range of visual evidence and the many various texts which form the foundation of modern productions – are those foundations as solid as they seem? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I did start a thread for this event, headed 'Society for Theatre Research event' and posted on 6 Nov. Thank you for the extra information above. It does sound very interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Apologies, I didn't see that. Still, the more advertising the better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Keith spoke to me yesterday when he heard me discussing ballet with a friend at my budget hotel. When I explained I couldn't go as I live nearly 200 miles away he advised me that the talk will be streamed- see https://twitter.com/nrn_str for the You Tube link on the night It sounds a fascinating talk, outlining how very different the original version was from the Giselle we love nowadays.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clickable one goes to an account which has been dormant for nearly ten years - and adding str doesn't help much. I understand that there won't be a YouTube link until the night but surely the Twitter link should work now: what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Sorry Geoff, I have just copied it from the sheet of paper he gave me, which I assumed was accurate! I can't see anything on the sheet to suggest how to contact him. Maybe it's possible to contact the Society for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I see that if you finish the above link with nrn_str it takes you to a Twitter account for new STR researchers; if you finish it with TheSTR it takes you to the main STR Twitter account. I'm not sure where the talk will be streamed though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I can't see how to post a direct link here. In recent months I have seen tweets there giving a YouTube link for live-streamed lectures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mallinson Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've corrected the link in SheilaC's post. Their Facebook page is here. The lecture is supposed to be live-streamed on their YouTube channel which is remarkably empty at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
