alison Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hmm, not terribly specific beyond "Dance@TheGrange is performed by Company Wayne McGregor, dancers from The Royal Ballet and guest artists including Alessandra Ferri and Marianela Nunez, with music performance by pianist Joanna MacGregor."

Lizbie1 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I've seen Thiago Soares featured in one of the publicity photos - I wonder if he and Nunez will be repeating the Winter Dreams pdd they danced at this week's ROH gala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of specific details obviously hasn't put people off - it's currently showing as sold out but you can ask to have your name put on the waiting list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add: they didn't caption the picture, if that makes a difference, but the email was specifically about a few tickets they would be releasing the following day (yesterday) and didn't mention the exhibition.

ninamargaret Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The Times today tells us that Nunez and Watson are dancing Infra. Is The Art of Fugue a renaming of Tetractys I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthE Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Email from the Grange Festival this morning: We are delighted to be able to announce that Edward Watson MBE, longest-serving Principal dancer at The Royal Ballet has agreed to become Patron of Dance@TheGrange. Well known for helping Dance@TheGrange’s Director of Dance, Wayne McGregor, bring world-class ballet to a wider audience, Edward’s passion for inspiring younger generations will also see him support our Learning@TheGrange programme. Edward’s technique and style has captured the imagination of audiences and choreographers alike. Critically acclaimed roles include Arthur Pita’s dance version of Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’, specifically created with Edward in mind for the title role. The outstanding performance won Edward international accolades and an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance. We are thrilled to have him as our Dance@TheGrange Patron. “I am honoured to be asked to come on board as The Grange Festival Patron. I have admired the work of The Grange Festival for the past two years and I hope to lend whatever assistance I can to help the charity evolve and grow.” Edward Watson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Kent Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Well I’ll just have to plan a Grange visit. Team outing anyone? Rather pricey ! Edited March 14, 2019 by Mandy Kent Added a line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthE Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 https://thegrangefestival.co.uk/ It's a beautiful venue, but I have only been once since Grange Park Opera moved to West Horsley and left the venue vacant for the Grange Festival. It's a bit hard to get to if you don't have transport (I used to spend a fortune on cabs getting to operas there, as Grange Park Opera used to - and still does, in its new location - regularly employ several singers I know/like).

They run a minibus service from Basingstoke station I believe. I agree it’s extremely pretty, and I like Michael Chance’s policy of having no long speeches!
