No apparent changes in status of the dancers I am thinking of last season's Aud Jebsen Young Dancers who have company contracts ☺️ They have not been formally announced as joining the RB but, in fact, are all now listed as Artists, along with the Prix Apprentice (Sumina Sasaki). The dancers I am thinking of are: Madison Bailiey; Liam Boswell; Brayden Gallucci; Bomin Kim; and Ginevra Zambon. Really pleased for them all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 There was an announcement of the new joiners ..... I’m still searching for the official notice. In the meantime here’s an extract from Graham Watt’s Facebook on 1st October: The Royal Ballet has announced that seven recently graduated dancers join the Company on 12-month, fixed term contracts for the 2020/21 Season. From The Royal Ballet School, six graduates join the Aud Jebsen Young Dancers Programme: Denilson Almeida Afonso, Daichi Ikarashi, James Large, Hanna Park, Maddison Pritchard and Marianna Tsembenhoi. The Company also welcomes Marco Masciari, graduate of the Académie Princesse Grace and gold medallist at the 2020 Prix de Lausanne. Masciari joins the Company as the Prix de Lausanne dancer for the 2020/21 Season, continuing the longstanding scholarship arrangement with this prestigious dance award. The Aud Jebsen Young Dancer programme was established in 2014 and provides recently graduated dancers a year’s contract to be nurtured and perform alongside the corps de ballet of The Royal Ballet. This programme is central to The Royal Ballet’s commitment to support emerging talent and since its inception has provided contracts for 35 dancers at the first stage of their careers. Created in 1973, the Prix de Lausanne is an annual international competition for young dancers aged 15 to 18 years old. Prix de Lausanne winners have the opportunity to dance with a professional company on a 12-month scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance*is*life Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to say that I am slowly watching the Gala again - I'm making it last to get a daily "fix"!!!! I just watched the white swan pdd and I have to say that watching it close-up on my tablet rather than on the computer, I saw it in a more intimate fashion and it was absolutely exquisite!!! In the actual theatre, unless you are glued with opera glasses, you don't get the chance to become one with the dancers. I was honestly almost in tears at the sheer beauty of it. In these awful black days I am so grateful to the ROH for giving us the opportunity to remember how divine our ballet world can be! Sorry if I'm gushing, but honestly that's how I feel...........

LinMM Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Yes I am getting more and more impressed with Akane Takada she was lovely in Wolf Works too....and Ed Watson he is definitely going out on a high! Still got everything absolutely. Pulling a section out of a ballet like Wolf Works to perform at a gala is not easy but the three of them Takada Watson and Richardson ( those turns!) pulled it off amazingly and like another poster has given me an appetite to see it again soon!!! like Dance is Life am slowly making way through this gala still. Loved the R and J but this couple already totally put me through the ringer earlier at the ROH so not possible to reach those heights with this short extract. Am very pleased that the Royal Ballet has managed to attract Marco Masciari ....he looked very promising indeed at the Prix earlier this year....seems like 5 years ago now already! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamargaret Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Seems that the opera streaming this evening seems to be having the same problems as the ballet last Friday. Will the ROH/Vimeo ever take some notice? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally the program actually started 30 minutes in but that's fixed when I look at it now. Have you tried clearing your cookies?

I will give it another go soon. I have done my back in so I am pretty restricted in my movements, the weather is grey, I am fed up with Covid-19 and the whole world at the moment...so I want to watch Anna-Rose and Marcelino bring sunshine into my life, if only for a few minutes. Ditto Carousel, and much of the rest of the performance. And I can skip the presenter, too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went via the Whats on page initially and then went into past activity ( that thing that looks like an open book) to access each time after that as it holds the place I’ve got to in the viewing. Not sure what will happen once I’ve finally got to the end though and want to watch any or all of it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One issue coming out of the pandemic is that most of the websites I look at have not been properly updated since before lockdown. Usually there are people who can put on news items but as regards the rest we have just got to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks oncnp. Got it now. Promise not to mention any other dancers but was intrigued why Joseph Sissens did a brief introduction to the concert but didn't seem to be participating. Does anyone know? Tried Facebook and Instagram but couldn't see anything. Edited October 21, 2020 by jmhopton Add query Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
