alison Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Blast. Just when I'd decided to go somewhere else ... I trust they'll make it available afterwards, as they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 They should have said it would be streamed from the ‘get go’. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’m still able to access the Insight but I didn’t hear any official announcement that it would be available for a month. It’s well worth a look with rehearsals of two PDDs (Sarah Lamb/Ed Watson and Francesca Hayward/Matthew Ball). Fascinating to see the PDDs walked through, taken apart by Wayne McGregor, and then danced, with very impressive piano accompaniment. Between the two dance rehearsals there were discussions with Wayne McGregor, Tacita Dean (designer), and Koen Kessels. It would have been good to have heard from Thomas Adès but sadly not on this occasion. Sarah Crompton hosted. I must say the Insight has raised expectations to a very high level and I’m very much looking forward to seeing Dante in the theatre. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The creatives plus Koen Kessels and Sarah Lamb talked it up big time. It’ll be interesting to see how many of us end up feeling the same way. I’ll be going into it wanting to.

zxDaveM Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 there seemed an awful lot of empty seats (no shows?) for a sold out event - which would be frustrating for those that wanted to go, but could not get a ticket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a number of RB staff there (some in the row you mention, but not all), but even so, there did seem to be a good few gaps regardless. Which is a shame, in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 For what it's worth: I once overheard Kevin O'Hare at an Insight-type event grumbling about empty seats and saying how much he disliked it - so it will have been noticed and questions may be asked.

Beryl H Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The complete programme is on Youtube now, hope it does remain for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannette Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I enjoyed this a lot. It prompted me to book my ticket to the livestream performance. Cannot wait! 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I found it rather sad to see Watson being referred to as a "Former Principal", though - even if it is technically true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Me too Alison. Technicalities aside, there’s nothing former about his dancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I agree. “Former” doesn’t make any sense when he’s the lead role in this show and presumably on stage involved in the dancing for all 3 acts. “Retiring dancer” might have been better 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
