Lizbie1 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I wonder whether Programme A will include some of the same Ashton excerpts as the Fonteyn Gala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I had assumed the dancers were finally going to get a break/some rest! Clearly not, at least for some of them. Sounds wonderful, but I hope they DO then get a break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Some of those dancers also have appearances in China in July. It's "all go". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrosered Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Does anyone know of any performances in New York later this month? I'm at a conference from July 23 for 4 nights and would love to see some ballet while I'm there but can't see anything on during those dates.

They do it for international exposure, artistic fulfilment and the extra money. Good on ‘em, too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 The theatre has now announced details of the programmes and casting: https://joyce.org/performances/ballet-festival Includes Sissens in Ashton's Dance of the Blessed Spirits and Pajdak in his Isadora dances, and lots of other goodies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 David Hallberg and Joseph Gordon in Song of a Wayfarer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) 12 minutes ago, alison said: David Hallberg and Joseph Gordon in Song of a Wayfarer? and SEATS starting at $10 (£8.26 on today's scale) in a 472 seat capacity theatre (originally opened as the Elgin in 1941 and renewed to a purely dance venue called The Joyce in 1981) which - happily - has sight lines that are far superior to, say, many of the places in the 'renewed' Linbury (which admittedly has a capacity of 392).

Mandy Kent Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm going to go to Prog C and D so will at last get to see Edward Watson dancing in Prog D . I will report back ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks, Mandy. It's just occurred to me that it currently seems easier to see Ed dancing in the US than in his home theatre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
