Alexander Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I was particularly impressed by T-Rex tendu derriere. Negotiating that tail looked tricky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 And now for something COMPLETELY different .... well, not about dance ... (or maybe it is) .... It is a fantasy sonnet on Birds. Might be good for a giggle .... and, for surety, it is only one minute 41 seconds in flight .... https://youtu.be/LHYH2z9Ay0g 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I've had a couple of much appreciated notes from BcoF members with kind words about the work, i.e., the few segments of which I've shared here. Thank you. To let you know how it actually comes about - and has now for some 23 years - I'd like to share an infomercial (there are several now actually - but this was the first) made to engage the prisoners on their closed circuit television service in reference to remote programmes run during the Covid interval. You can find that here - should you be remotely interested. You will need a password. It is 'LSWCR' - ALL CAPS. (Very imaginative I know ... NOT! ) .... Enjoy.

Sim Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 A lovely, thoughtful new piece choreographed by Royal Ballet Principal Matthew Ball and danced by his partner First Soloist Mayara Magri. Matthew's father, Christopher, reads the WH Auden poem to which Mayara dances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the story of Henry Danton receiving his RAD medal you are referring to, he is being interviewed by Dame Monica Mason for The London Ballet Circle on the 18th May. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannette Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Bravo, Mr. Henry Danton! What a story. Did I spot some clips of him dancing in the original Symphonic Variations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Watching programmes about Covid isn't exactly fun but I believe in being well-informed so I watched BBC2's Pandemic 2020 on Thursday night and was rewarded with clips of Ivan Vassiliev and Maria Vinogradova rehearsing and performing Don Q. I loved watching her rehearse in the kitchen of their 'dacha', triumphantly producing a tub of ice cream at the climax of her solo, perfectly in synchronicity with the music. Then Ivan executing wonderful jeteés round the rain-soaked roundabout outside their home. (I always thought a dacha was a country house but theirs seemed to be in a typical nice suburb outside a city - could have been Kenley or Bushey Park). Finally a glimpse of the finished performance with the Bolshoi: highly enjoyable. As Vassiliev said: 'in times like this people need art'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Ah, yes, I loved that piece when it was first issued sometime early on in the pandemic. Wish I'd known it was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 "Like a sculpture to be awaken by the power of Love… By the power of light and music that sounds from inside. There is Galatea in every of us. So give the true sense to the perfection of your lines enriching them with treasures of your soul."
