Bruce Wall Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Source Includes the ever popular Darcey Bussell and, latterly, BRB's David Bintley in a documentary focusing on the influences of Louis XIV, the supposed father/foundation layer of ballet as we now know it. Mr. Bintley is creating a new ballet around that particular theme entitled 'The King Dances' for the rightly admired BRB. Let's hope we have a chance to see it in London after it has served its designated regional tour path. All programmes will be broadcast on BBC4. Perhaps 'The King Dances' will take a special place of merit on the main BBC programming schedule for Xmas 2015.

alison Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks. I spotted coverage of this in the Evening Standard yesterday, so it's good to have more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
