Bruce Wall Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Thanks so, capybara. It was such a fascinating meeting last night with the insightful Cathy Marston. So rich in its detail and vastly enjoyed by those present. I was particularly touched when Francesca Hayward at her delightful BA session of but one week ago mentioned that she would herself be in attendance at next Wednesday's BA meeting in support of her friend/colleague, Sophie Allnatt. For me it highlighted how strong the Royal Ballet's family ethic is at heart - an invaluable asset oft highlighted in the performances themselves. What a wonderful organisation the Ballet Association is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
