alison Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Good news to see some semblance of "normality" somewhere - although I'm not sure how many additional hours I shall want to spend in front of the computer watching ballet-related things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed - and a casting preview! But possibly a mix from the two shows ? Great that Alex and Kristen (as above!) will be the comperes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite discern any type of order (although there must be one). If it were in running order would think the Royal New Zealand Ballet at UTC +13 would be listed first. And there is a bit of overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I think a good many of the various company's 30mins streaming slots are on simultaneously, so you have to pick one, and watch the other (if so inclined) later. I seem to remember that was what happened last year. At least, that's what my memory is telling me today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Companies apart from the main three are on alongside the main three and, also, clash with one another. Last year, I stayed mainly with the Bolshoi, the RB and the NBoC (the latter doesn't seem to be a key player this year) and 'dipped' elsewhere, both during the day and subsequently. Many of the contributors left their slots up for some time afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an excellent idea - I will have to have it playing on my phone while I'm at work! Hopefully it will be available to view later in the day.

It most definitely isn't! I've pulled together a spreadsheet so I can track what's on when so I don't miss the bits I really want to see... I'vej jotted some notes also based on what companies have announced.

Naomi M Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This website is in French but it does put all the companies according to timeline with links to each FB site so this is quite useful. https://www.dansesaveclaplume.com/hors-scene/1106872-world-ballet-day-2020-le-programme-du-29-octobre/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thank you, Naomi. I'd completely forgotten about Dansesaveclaplume, so it's good to have a reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Thank you, that is a great help. I notice that Ernst Meisner will be giving class to Dutch National Ballet - I did his online classes frequently, they were one of my favourites. Presumably the times given are European time so it will be one hour later than GMT. Edited October 28, 2020 by Pas de Quatre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmgard Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Just to inform people that Estonian National Ballet will be showing a rehearsal on their Facebook page tomorrow at 8.30am our time. This is a rehearsal of Act I of Mary Skeaping's "Giselle" which was recorded last week as the company has placing calls onstage tomorrow so cannot participate 'live' in World Ballet Day. Their Facebook page is Rahvusooper Estonia. Edited October 28, 2020 by Irmgard left out something 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
