jmhopton Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Sun 22nd Jan BBC4 Romeo and Juliet: beyond words. The Balletboyz abridged version of the RB Romeo and Juliet filmed about 3 years ago and starring Francesca Hayward and William Bracewell. I thought at the time they were supposed to be going on to film Manon and Mayerling but I haven't heard anything about this lately. Has anyone else? May be a way of getting Vadim's Mayerling on film! (Though I suspect they'll probably do Manon first if they do film them.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaC Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The film Red Sparrow is on again on Film4 at 9pm on Tuesday 17 January. It includes choreography by Justin Peck, dancing by Sergei Polunin and by Isabella Boylston as the dance double for Jennifer Lawrence. The cast includes Charlotte Rampling (who I've seen on her own at a ballet matinee in Paris) and Jeremy Irons among other good actors. Not a terrific amount of ballet shown and the film can end up feeling a bit long winded but worth watching once. Rhapsody and Two Pigeons are on SkyArts again next Saturday, 21st, at 7 am. On Radio 4 next Wednesday (18) Wayne Sleep discusses Jerome Robbins in the Dancing Legends series. I expect a lot will be about Robbins's fabulous contribution to musical choreography and production. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 BBC4 7.45pm this evening Romeo & Juliet: Beyond Words. So pleased to see this is getting another showing. The current attitude of the BBC to dance programming is glaring - the ‘themed’ evening slots which BBC4 favour, and frequently do so well, in which they bring together some related documentaries and recorded performances from the archives , is tonight reduced to an episode of Terry Wogan presenting Come Dancing! The other evening slots are taken up by two programmes about Vivienne Westwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very impressed with it when I saw it in Birmingham and thought the sets in particular far better than the RB version. Good to see Margot again as well. You wonder how much ballet will be shown on the BBC when BBC4 is closed down as most of its ballet seems to be shown there. Let's hope it keeps going for a while yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl H Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Alvin Ailey programme is probably Chroma, Grace, Takademe, and Revelations. I have this on Blu-Ray and love the way they dance Chroma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Sky arts are steaming Alices Adventures in Wonderland on Saturday 18th Feb at 6:15 to 8:30 am G.M.T. This is a different cast to the two versions available on DVD. Sarah Lamb, Edward Watson and Federico Bonelli star in the Royal Ballet's 2013 production based on Lewis Carroll's classic children's story, with choreography by Christopher Wheeldon and music by Joby Talbot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiniGabriel Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 On BBC Four: Sunday 5th March, 7:40 pm : "Revisor by Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young" It's just a repeat from 2020 but I missed it at the time so now I'm really looking forward to finally being able to see this piece. By the way: I was very happy when I noticed a few years ago that my cable provider in Switzerland also made the BBC programs available. Allows me to get a glimpse of British ballet without having to travel, for which I am very grateful... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl H Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The Radio Times just said "Swan Lake" so I ignored it, but this sounds very interesting, I must dig out my DVD of Fonteyn and Nureyev in this production to verify, but I think this is the one where Nureyev gave himself a coda to the 2nd act pdd, which did exist in the original score, it includes a glorious diagonal of steps!

I'm assuming it's the Royal Ballet version. It is RB and, according to my TV guide, (which isn't always accurate) it's Rojo/Acosta/Nunez. This may be right as I seem to remember that SkyArts filmed all the ROH cinema broadcasts for the year of this Bayadere. Unfortunately, I don't think they continued. Interesting Marianela is in both recordings; this one and the recent one with Vadim/Nunez/Osipova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right, Scherezade as I've just remembered SkyArts have a bit of an Acosta fixation as they show his picture everytime they screen Giselle, even though its always Vadim and Marianela. It's just better to set the recorder and take what comes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Sat 15th April 2.10am-3am, repeated 8.10am-9am a programme called Art is Our Voice on Japanese Channel NHK World, Sky channel 507. Don't know about other broadcasters. In summer 2022, 21 Ukrainian dancers from Kyiv's National Ballet toured 16 cities across Japan - most sought refuge in Europe, but the tour provided a chance to reunite and dance in honour of Ukraine. The picture provided in my online tv guide shows a group of men dancing a gopak so I don't know if it's more folk than ballet but looks potentially interesting. SkyArts are also doing the RB Giselle (again!) at 7am Wed 19th April. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannette Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Better late than never! Tonight at 10pm est, the US’ public television network will broadcast Ballet Hispanico’s Dona Perón (chor Anabel López Ochoa/mus Peter Salem) as filmed in Nov 2022 at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Some stations will repeat it later during the weekend. https://thecitylife.org/2023/03/29/ballet-hispanicos-dona-peron-premieres-on-pbs/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
