Regattah Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I try to fast forward through the Sky Arts channels from time to time to set Sky+ for any upcoming ballet, but I inevitably miss out from time to time! I've just missed all but the last 2 minutes of 'Bolero'. I was just wondering if it might be a good idea to warn eachother of anything we know that is coming up?
John Mallinson Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I would say yes to that - not that I have Sky - but it would be public-spirited.
alison Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I actually had a copy of the Radio Times for this week, and was noting the dance coverage (e.g. Pina Bausch) at the weekend and thinking perhaps I should post something about it, but then assumed that those who had Sky would know anyway, so my apologies. If you missed the "Jerome Robbins: a Celebration" this evening, you can catch it again (assuming you're still up, that is) from 4.05 to 6 am, preceded at 3.50 am by "Nuages", which I suspect is probably ballet. Oh, and it's on again tomorrow at 5 pm. "Pina" is repeated on Thursday 10 pm, with "Cafe Müller" at 11.50 (followed by "Nuages"). On Friday, Dutch National Ballet with "Giselle" at 11.05 pm. That's all I've spotted, and I don't think my usual cheapy TV mag covers Sky Arts 2, so I can't go beyond that, but if anyone else wants to contribute for future weeks, then please do!
loveclassics Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Alison I usually look ahead to see if anything dance-related is on the Arts Channels and if I spot anything amongst the endless programmes about old rock stars, I'll try to post it here. Must say though that what little dance there is is frequently repeated many times. The Robbins programme was good - especially for the performance of The Concert - so there are occasional gems. Linda
JaneL Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 The ROH just tweeted a link to their news story about Tamara Rojo's Beijing project: http://www.roh.org.uk/news/tamara-rojo-fuses-east-and-west-in-new-tv-series - it mentions that you can get CNN on Sky, which I had totally forgotten about! It looks like we've missed the first two, but the second one is being shown on Friday (details in the article). I wonder if the first two will be repeated?
alison Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I just noticed there's a "Sylvia" on late this evening on Sky Arts 2: somewho who actually has the channel might like to look up and see whether it is in fact the RB version.
jmhopton Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I see from adverts for the new series of the South Bank Show on SkyArts they are having a programme devoted to male dance. This seemed to include an interview with Baryshnikov. No idea when it's scheduled for but the series starts this Sunday at 10pm, and features Nicholas Hynter from the National Theatre. Joan
Marg S Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Sky Arts 2 tonight (July 13th) 8pm, RB dance Swan Lake
alison Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I should have posted this earlier, so my apologies if you missed Roland Petit's Le Rendez-vous earlier this evening. It is repeated a couple of times, though, including 11.30 pm on August 1st. Monday 30th, 10.10 pm: Passion - Last Stop Kinshasa. Les Ballets C de la B touring pitié! On Thursday 2nd August, 4.45 pm - is Nuages ballet?
zxDaveM Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 On Thursday 2nd August, 4.45 pm - is Nuages ballet? Yes it is - its been on a few times already (its a duet from 2 POB dancers)
alison Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Here are a few more: Saturday 25th August: 8 AM: Film: Dancing Across Borders 11 am: Roland Petit's L'Arlésienne Sunday 26th August: 9.50 pm: Swan Lake at the Painted Hall (ENB) - NB this is only 10 minutes long There will as usual be various repeats. All on Sky Arts 2
DavidW Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 It's worth noting that if you have Sky Anytime+ (don't know how widespread this is; my parents have Sky+ HD and have it) you can go to "Channels" then "Sky Arts 2" and find a load of full-length ballets on demand: RB Swan Lake, RB Bayadère, SFB The Little Mermaid and many many more! You click on them, they download to your planner and you can watch them for free! Awesome!
JaneL Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 That's good to know, thanks David! My parents have sky plus HD too so next time I'm home I'm going to do this! I'm sure my mum will be thrilled when I fill the planner with ballet...
Marg S Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 R.B. La Bayadere with Rojo,Acosta and Nunez on Sky Arts tonight at 8pm
Regattah Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is on Sky Arts 2 at the moment (and will be/has been repeated ad infinitum). It's probably been on loads already and I just haven't spotted it, so apologies if it's old news!
Bruce Wall Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I noticed there were several 'new' (e.g., new to Sky Arts 2 I assume) programmes in the coming week's schedule. One was about de Valois and her passing on of Pavola's 'dying swan', another on the preservation of the Cunningham canon and yet another 'new' (as advertised) Balanchine documentary featuring Barbara Horgan et al. (Forgive me if notice of these has been already posted). 1
blackqueen Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Yes SkyArts has finally got a few new dance programes. Just saw some of Bejart(?) Around the world in 80 days and loved it. Do you know when they showing de Valois?
Bruce Wall Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 It is on this evening at 9.05 pm I believe. Am recording it so I can see it after getting in from ENB press night
Thecatsmother Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 For those who can access this channel there are a number of dance programmes this evening Tuesday 29th Oct on Sky Arts 2. There was also an interesting programme on Balanchine over the weekend on same channel. Enjoy???? 3
alison Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Unfortunately, today's showings have already passed, but there are also quite a few transmissions this coming Wednesday: 4 pm: The Mystery of Coppélia 5 pm: Coppélia (don't know whose) 6.45 pm: George Balanchine Forever 8 pm: Jewels (Paris Opera Ballet) Also, this Friday, 8 pm, Roland Petit's Carmen.
Bruce Wall Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 All broadcasts, Alison, are from the Paris Opera. The Coppelia is that of Patrice Bart and the documentary was, I thought, particularly telling.
Regattah Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 I'm pretty sure they've shown the Coppelia and pre-Coppelia documentary a few times, but I've not seen Jewels on there before. I haven't been very good at keeping tabs on it recently.
loveclassics Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) From next week's Radio Times & the Sky Arts website: Dance on Sky Arts 2 Saturday 15th February 08:00 George Balanchine Forever Barbara Horgan (assistant to Balanchine) discusses his work with dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet. 09:20 Roland Petit’s L’Arlesienne, Paris Opera Ballet Monday 17th February 06:00 Jewels, Paris Opera Ballet Tuesday 18th February 11:00 George Balanchine Forever 12:15 Nuages (Kylian), Paris Opera Ballet Wednesday 19th February 20:00 Bella Figura (Kylian) 20:35 Symphony in D (Kylian), Nederlands Dance Theatre 21:10 Men Y Men "Male dancers from the English National Ballet perform the famous prelude to Giselle - a ballet written for female roles.

Odyssey Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 There's an Ashton mixed bill scheduled for this Friday evening. See link below http://www.locatetv.com/tv/frederick-ashton-mixed-bill/8535372
alison Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Another one we won't be getting on free-to-air TV, then I would so have liked to see the recording of Monotones.
Bluebird Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The published Sky Arts listings have recently been unreliable. Despite the fact that the Ashton Mixed Bill is in the Radio Times listing for Friday evening, the actual on screen guide for Sky Arts2 indicates that the Rojo/Acosta Bayadère will be broadcast instead.
Bruce Wall Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) See the Osipova / Acosta RB Giselle is to be broadcast on Sky Arts 2 next week. Get those recorders at the ready Edited March 20, 2014 by Meunier 1
J_New Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 It's on Wed next week at 8pm - repeated during the night.
Two Pigeons Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I am approaching all this with a bit of caution as there seems to be a big difference between what has been announced in the Radio Times as from what is shown on the planner. Either way, I shall just press the record button and hope for the best!
