Edited to add that the biography doesn't appear to have been updated for some time.

2) Antony Tudor

A major twentieth century choreographer whose work is sadly and inexplicably neglected. New York Theater Ballet provide the opportunity to watch two of his greatest works  Jardin aux Lilas/ Lilac Garden and Dark Elegies, the charming Soiree Musicale and a fine account of The Judgment of Paris. All four of which  were made for Rambert's company and an excerpt from Tudor's almost mythical Romeo and Juliet which has not been seen in years because ABT's artistic director says it would cost too much to revive. It is not set to the all too familiar Prokofiev score but to music by Delius.

No - only Soloist, albeit that he was getting several leading roles - e.g. The Prince in Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty, although he left for Romania before he danced that (in 2014). His replacement (with Takada) was Muntagirov.

[alison]

My apologies: I obviously over-promoted him!  I'd had an idea that he'd been promoted at the end of the season but left anyway.

[Hambleton]

He is the most lovely dancer.  RB's loss, but then he is Polish, so went 'home'

Not immediately. He went as a Principal to Romania but decamped to Poland once things went pearshaped for Kobborg.

Why not take the opportunity to look further afield and explore some of the offerings on  Vimeo ? Here are a few suggestions

Thank you for this - didn't know about Can do and this will enable me to see some Tudor.

[Bruce Wall]

For any people having (as I have read hereabouts) difficulty getting the POB (Paris Opera Ballet) Swan Lake due to geographical blockage - this seems to be working for me here.

I was hoping they would keep things light and amusing.  However, I see they are doing Jane Eyre next week.  Not exactly a barrel of laughs.  Still, as long as they don't decide to broadcast The Visit, which I saw just before the theatre closed.

In case you missed Joel Kioko on Inside Out it's now on player. He was the dancer who grew up in slums in Kenya and he has been at ENB school for 3 years. It starts at 20.40

I'm not entering the Liam Scarlett debate, but here is a short film about the making of 'Nasz Chopin' for the Polish National Ballet in April 2019 with some excellently watchable ballet. Principal is Dawid Trzensimiech, Royal Ballet Upper School trained, and former Solist with The Royal Ballet. In the corps are Phoebe Liggins (ENB School trained) and my own Laurence Elliott (Upper School trained), both in their first professional company jobs.

 

 

What an interesting short documentary and comment on Polish society. And the ballet is wonderful. Thank you.

Since this is the CVS thread, someone left 4 pints of milk, some bread and a dozen eggs on my doorstep yesterday. Turned out to be the local community support group distributing free supplies provided by Tesco, to those in enforced isolation.

I thought it was a nice gesture.

That's excellent, Stevie. I hope you're managing OK.

 

There are so many good things happening at the moment too. Light as well as darkness.

[Beryl H]

Yes, I noticed how nice everyone was that I encountered on my Tesco oldies hour trip yesterday, bus drivers, the Tesco staff, even people on the other side of the road that I didn't know smiled!

Thanks to Bruce for posting this,. I watched POB's Swan Lake yesterday, I was thinking of sharing some thoughts on it on the forum, but wasn't sure where to put them. I see there are some old threads from 2016 on POB Swan Lake, but I think the web replay is from 18/19 season. Or maybe starting a new thread, or looking for another appropriate existing thread, any thoughts from anyone, moderators especially, on this?. 

 

Thanks for all who are posting on the forum, and keeping discussion of life's important stuff - ballet! - at this time.

Can you see this, Janite?  It seems (at least for me) to be geo-blocked in the UK.  

[alison]

I wondered about that, from the phrasing on the AB's page.  But still, we have a good few members in Australia, so they may be able to benefit.

You are right Bruce, I marked it and didn't check. Apologies everyone. I will try to remember for the future.

The Bolshoi Marco Spada that was shown on its YouTube channel with Hallberg and a terrific cast. I really appreciated Lacotte’s choreography- very difficult as Hallberg says in that clip. Shows that Bolshoi dancers can do such a very different style.
