Only because she posted a clip on Instagram that looked like it was the same event. yes that week it was Annette Buvoli, first artist at RB. These dancing outdoors events are happening weekly on either Sat or Sun depending on the weather at the Potemkin Theatre in Hoxton Docks. Usually repeat shows 3/5/7pm. Curated by RB first Soloist Valentino Zucchetti There have been aerial artists, contemporary dancers and RB dancers involved. This week I’ve seen Giorgio Garrett of ENB preparing a pdd with freelance ballerina (RBS trained) Paige Bestington. follow their IG for updates https://instagram.com/_distdancing_?igshid=ueh6oiqsnv4y 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Introducing the Joey Cam. Joey is a young sea otter whose mother died when he was a few days old and was rescued and being rehabilitated. He's very cute when he's awake. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks Jan. So interesting to watch the rehearsal process for this wonderful, original ballet. I hope we will be able to see it again on stage in the not-too-distant future. I would like to remind whoever wrote the subtitles that Tyrone Singleton is a principal, not a principle!! And being even more picky...it’s Mazarin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of calling seed potatoes Sleeping Beauties. I loved this. And even better (from yesterday's links) the company is supporting him in some capacity. "Reece has worked with Albert Bartlett since 2012. With the help of the brand’s potato power, he has been able to relocate from Scotland to London, attend the world-renowned Royal Ballet School and ultimately rise through the ranks of The Royal Ballet Company to first soloist. The firm continues to support Reece as he dances around the world and had also previously backed his brothers when they were dancing professionally."

Ian Macmillan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 When I put this in Links yesterday, I was intrigued by that assertion that Reece (and his brothers before him) had been supported by the Bartlett company which, I see, established a HQ in Airdrie some years ago. (As I grew up just outside Glasgow a year or seventy ago, Airdrie was a good 30 minutes further out, at the end of the Nos 15 and 23 tram lines, and would probably not have been seen as a likely home for a brood of ballet dancers.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 This is a beautiful creation by Paul Lightfoot, ex Artistic Director of NDT. He lost his father during lockdown without being allowed into the hospital to say goodbye because of travel restrictions, so he began working remotely on a piece to process his emotions. And here is the result, a powerful, moving tribute to those affected by the pandemic. It can be seen both on Royal Danish Ballet's website and vimeo, danced by Sebastian Haynes of NDT, filmed in Denmark. https://kglteater.dk/xtra/digital-scenekunst/unspoken?section=34724 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveclassics Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Has anyone else seen Neil Brand's excellent series about movie musicals? It's currently being repeated on BBC4 and the first episode included a long segment about Fred Astaire. Lovely to watch excerpts from classics like 'Top Hat' and even better to see Steven McRae reproducing some of his amazing tap sequences. Should still be on iPlayer if you missed it. Highly recommended! Linda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
