wish we could see more Bournonville in the UK.

 

You can have a Bournonville binge here:

And this is lovely.

Anyhow, back to the RBS show.  It's good they got to learn some of the style. (There is much in common with Cecchetti in reality, but that's another topic.)

Have you tried the chocolate aisle in your local supermarket?  [SORRY - VERY BAD JOKE ALERT]

This post reminded me of another Lilac Garden performance from that particular graduate year, 2010.  This one took place in the Linbury and also featured William Bracewell, this time with Imogen Chapman as his partner.  I remember finding her performance extremely moving and have, since, followed her career with interest.  On graduation she joined the Australian Ballet, where she is now a Senior Artist (the equivalent of a First Soloist). I'm delighted to note that, in the forthcoming ROH performances of Jewels,  she is cast in Emeralds (second couple) on August 3, 4 and 5 (matinée) performances.

 

I'm quoting myself so as to correct an inaccuracy.  Until I read Sophoife's recent post, detailing the career paths of members of the Australian Ballet, I had completely forgotten that Imogen Chapman had spent a short time at Scottish Ballet before joining the Australian Ballet.

Very pleased to get the Royal Ballet School’s email this afternoon with a link to a film of the Annual Performance. It’s available for the whole of August.

Is this for people who support the Royal Ballet School only? 
I was thinking of supporting both them and ENBS students from September. 
So obviously too late for this year! 

[JohnS]

I’d suggest checking with the RBS about joining in August and whether that means you’d be able to see the film. I’m pretty sure last year the film was only available for a month.

[LinMM]

Good idea! If I thought could have access to the film by joining now then I would …..I do suspect it will be members already signed up by the time of the show in July though!

I deleted my previous post because I was hopeful that a second email from the RBS would 'deliver' but both contain only the latest edition of ENCORE.

Perhaps one has to be a Member now, as distinct from a Friend, in order to be sent the link?

I'm a 'mere' Friend and I received the link.  It actually appeared as a message from Christopher Powney.  Could it have gone into your junk mail?  If not, it might be worth contacting the Friends of the RBS and asking them to send you the link.

Like @Bluebird I’m a Friend and received the link. I’ve still to find out what membership involves.

Membership provides access to links to watch class and rehearsals etc. and additional 'in person' events.

I did start to enrol but then found that the only way of doing so was to set up another direct debit for the RBS immediately. I think that they might have missed a trick in not providing an opportunity for a 'taster' subscription as a first step.

Just a few days left for Friends etc to see the film of the Royal Ballet School’s Annual Performance - it’s available to watch up to midnight on 31 August 2023.
