SPD444 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just seen Instagram posting from Alexander Campbell showing him in Brisbane dancing the White Swan PDD. I thought Frankie and Cesar where going to dance this. Hope Frankie is O.K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaM Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Interesting that Skylar Brandt (ABT principal) stepped in to dance White swan pdd with Alex, wearing a borrowed tutu from Queensland Ballet. I wonder why her partner Aran Bell who travelled with her couldn’t also perform that pdd. In other words l, why was it necessary for Alex to fly such a long way to partner someone he’d not even met before? I don’t know why Frankie & Cesar could not perform, but I wonder if there is some kind of obligation on RB company to participate which necessitated Alex’s flight to dance in their place. And then I wonder further … why didn’t an RB ballerina come with him? Explanation could be that they are all committed elsewhere - ROH R&J, Rome gala, etc i guess we may get an explanation in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Not wanting to speculate but it is sometimes the case that the RB ‘contracts’ with another company or promoter to send dancers to perform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Newcombe Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Maybe a problem with the paperwork getting into Australia in these difficult times which Alex would not have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just thought I’d be nosy and google the gala details as I’ve visited Brisbane several times before and never saw a Gala like this (although I did catch Australian Ballet performing their production of Nureyev’s Don Quixote there- the performance and the production were both outstanding). Ooh, how lucky the Brisbane audience were to have been able to see Skylar Brandt, Aran Bell and Alex Campbell all in the same gala, as well as Daniel Gaudiello- I’m glad he hasn’t given up dancing completely after leaving Australian Ballet. I see they also have Christopher Wheeldon’s An American in Paris right now, with the glorious Leanne Cope and brilliant Robbie Fairchild reprising their roles of Lise and Jerry. S’wonderful! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just read a review on Instagram that Alexander was a late replacement for Frankie and Cesar. No reason was given for their no show, hope they are O.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I read on Skylar Brandt’s IG that it was Alex’s debut in Swan Lake white swan Pdd. A long way to fly for a pdd you haven’t performed before with a partner you’ve not met. Extraordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeannette Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can’t believe that Daniil Simkin is still dancing Les Bourgeois after all of these years! 😂 Ok - ok…he’s made it his own…a calling card of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
