Well. 🤐 https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/wayne-mcgregor-profile Your new work also features costumes by Burberry’s Daniel Lee. Why did you want to team up with him? Daniel is an amazing dance aficionado and used to dance a lot as a child. He was able to respond to this incredible score by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, it is very textural and of epic scale, and elicits certain images. Daniel had that and a very particular image to work with because he knew I wanted something very raw and minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linnzi5 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I'm intrigued. Am going tonight and now am hoping it's a good 'itching to comment' and not for not so good reasons! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Perregrino Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I sense the knives are out, perhaps prematurely, perhaps not. However, it has been said multiple times on this forum that a rehearsal is not deemed to be a performance and hence members are asked not to comment thereon. It presumably follows that what one sees at a rehearsal shouldn’t form the basis for a review of a production even after it has opened since the rehearsal and the performance may differ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the choreography will change between this afternoon and tonight. Nor will the music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. However, most dancers treat a general like a performance as it gives them an extra full stage call and a feel for how it will play. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but I have rarely noticed a difference between a general rehearsal and a performance. The dancers and musicians, being the pros that they are, go all out for an audience, whether it’s a general rehearsal or a performance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just flagging up that the casts for two of this evening’s three pieces are different to those who danced at today’s rehearsal. Just maybe, those in the third piece were keeping something in the tank for tonight’s world première.

Dawnstar Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The cast sheet is up for tonight & I'm baffled by the timings. Quote This production lasts approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes, including two intervals. Untitled, 2023 35 minutes Interval 30 minutes Corybantic Games 35 minutes Interval 25 minutes Anastasia Act III 40 minutes Adding up the individual times I make it 2 hours 45 mins, but their overall time is 3 hours 5 mins. I'd be interested to know from anyone either at the dress rehearsal or who's going tonight what the timings are actually working out to be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pretty much 3 hours then. Did you notice what time Anastasia started? Is it only 40 mins, or longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the second interval was probably longer than 25 minutes and was one of those where the audience was called back but kept waiting.

MJW Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I’m a bit concerned about some of the sounds coming from the orchestra! Sounds like my brother with his woodwork! Monica Mason is sitting a few seats away - interesting to see her reaction. Edited June 9, 2023 by MJW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been rather hush hush hasn't it? I'm thrilled for the young dancers involved that they've been working on this with McGregor too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
