alison Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Interesting, thanks, Lynette. I've seen so few of those that I can't really comment, but congratulations to all the nominees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretN7 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 And note, also, The Wind in the Willows at the Duchess Theatre (family entertainment), which began life at the ROH Linbury with RB dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I believe that I saw Compagnie III at the South Bank as part of the London International Mime Festival about eight years ago and liked it very much. By tilting various sections of the stage the distinction between standing up and lying down became fascinatingly blurred in their dance acrobatic performance. It may have incarnated several times since. Is this the same company? I certainly look forward to seeing them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It is simply hugely satisfying to see Clemmie Sveaas nominated for her role as Anna Goeldi in Cathy Marston's Witch Hunt last year - and just one reminder of 'why' from Dave Morgan's Gallery: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8536/8779396249_7b623b13ab_z.jpg She was, of course, the central character but, in truth, any award should go to the quintet of magnificent women who quickened that sad story of the last witch executed in Europe - Clemmie, Paula Alonso as young Anna-Miggeli, Martina Langmann's cold but tragic mother, Frau Tchudi, actress Mona Kloos as the 'older' Anna-Miggeli ... and, of course, Cathy herself, who created it all. I've said it before here, but it remains for me a superb piece of dance theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Glad to see Hulls won the Outstanding Achievement award: I saw his name on the list, and was hoping he'd get it, because he so deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnross Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Perhaps we could get together and get him a light meter with a minimum setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 apparently, in the interview on the Arts Desk, he can all but see in the dark, and finds bright light painful.... Which would explain a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnross Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 So the answer is to give him some dark glasses to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
