Thanks Bothballet ..... it comes from always looking for a masculine dance related gift for my son & discovering he loves candles .... so decided to combine the two.
I’m expanding it dance wise but also for other types of performers such as vocalists, musicians etc. x
I've bumped into a male dancer from BRB in the John Lewis in Birmingham when we have both been looking at candles!! It's a great idea you've had B4B.

I've only watched 2 of SFB's streamed performances and I have loved both of them.
I loved David Dawson's Anima Animus with it's eloquent and fluid choreography.
This morning I watched Edward Liang's The Infinite Ocean and was swept away by its beauty. It is for 6 couples - 3 of them have duets. The opening sequence really gave the impression of the ocean lapping (fairly gently) at the beach with the dancers gathered in a cluster and moving their arms. I thought all 3 duets within the work were lovely and it was great to see ex-BRB favourite Tiit Helimets in the first one. In the end all the couples are together and they gradually disappear over the back of the stage, possibly the tide going out. One dancer is left and she leaps over - a surfer?
I would love to see both of these ballets live.

Hello B4B, My parcel arrived on Thursday and I've just opened it (after quarantine in my porch!).
It's actually a birthday present for a friend but I'm absolutely thrilled with it. The packaging was VERY secure. Thanks again.

Dust loses none of its power when viewed on a small screen in daylight.
What can I say, powerful and moving. The duet between Tamara Rojo and James Streeter is incredibly intense and the end is heartbreaking.
Thanks to ENB for letting us watch Dust during this time of national emergency.

HIP HOP DRAMA HERE/NOT HERE BRINGING BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE, VISUAL VERNACULAR (AN EXPRESSIVE AND ARTISTIC FORM OF SIGN LANGUAGE STORYTELLING), FOOTBALL AND KRUMP TOGETHER FOR DEAF AND HEARING AUDIENCES TO PREMIERE ON FILM4, BSL ZONE AND TOGETHER TV ON MONDAY 11 MAY 2020

BEHIND THE SCENES DOCUMENTARY LOOK HERE/NOT HERE FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH THE CAST AND CREATIVE TEAM WILL AIR THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON MONDAY 18 MAY
HERE/NOT HERE, a brand new British, Deaf hip hop drama exploring British Sign Language, Krump street dance, football and Visual Vernacular – the choreographed and poetic form of sign language - will have its TV premiere on Film4 and Together TV on Monday 11 May and will also be hosted online on BSL Zone where it will remain available to watch following the broadcast.
HERE/NOT HERE brings together a diverse creative team and company from Deaf and hearing communities and is directed by award-winning film-maker and Deaf artist Bim Ajadi whose recent works include docu-drama Dot and short film 4. Written by Jonzi D, Artistic Director of the annual hip hop dance and theatre festival Breakin’ Convention, the film is a unique collaboration with the film’s professional and non-professional, Deaf and hearing cast. The music is composed and produced by Torben Lars Sylvest a long-time collaborator of Olivier Award-winning choreographer Botis Seva.
HERE/NOT HERE is an urban, funny and thought provoking hip hop drama film which sees three rival groups - Deaf VVers, footballers and Krumpers - clash over who should use an abandoned warehouse space. Despite their differences, they find and inspire a common language through movement to communicate, collaborate and come together.
As Director Bim Ajadi said: “HERE/NOT HERE is about fear of invasion of a space. The message of this film is not to be too quick to judge strangers, once you’ve crossed that line in getting to know a person more, you might be surprised by how much you have in common, how you’ve learned something new, how much you feel valued. This is about being open-minded and trying to accept and appreciate new and different people.”
Complementary to the film, a special behind the scenes documentary titled LOOK HERE/NOT HERE, directed by Andrew Gillman, will see Director Bim Ajadi and Writer Jonzi D discuss the characters, narrative, themes and the making of the new music drama.
HERE/NOT HERE will be available to see on Monday 11 May on Film4 at 8am (pre-watershed version), Together TV at 7pm (pre-watershed version) and 10pm (post-watershed version), and on BSL Zone from 8.30am where it will remain available online. LOOK HERE/NOT HERE will air the following week on Monday 18 May on Film4 at 8am, BSL Zone online from 8.30am and Together TV at 7pm and 10pm.
The project features a company of both established and first-time BAME actors, dancers and Visual Vernacular performers. The principal cast features: Nadeem Islam, Catrina Nisbett, Theophillus ‘Godson’ Oloyade and Ryan Pendley.

ENB at HOME: Wednesday Watch Parties
English National Ballet today announces the next instalments of their Wednesday Watch Party series. Following the successful launch of the series, which saw over 100,000 people tuning in for the online stream of Broken Wings, Rudolf Nureyev’s Romeo & Juliet will receive its online premiere on 6 May, followed by Azure Barton’s Fantastic Beings on 13 May.
Through their Wednesday Watch Parties, which are a part of ENB at HOME, English National Ballet invites audiences around the world to enjoy never before seen full-length recordings of Company performances. The Wednesday evening (7pm) premieres on Facebook and YouTube give people the chance to see some of English National Ballet’s most loved productions, for free, from their own homes. Recordings are available for 48 hours.
The online premiere of Romeo & Juliet sees English National Ballet Lead Principals Alina Cojocaru and Isaac Hernández as Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. Created for the Company in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, this production features Rudolf Nureyev’s passionate choreography, sumptuous sets and costumes, and Prokofiev’s evocative score, here performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic. This performance of Romeo & Juliet was recorded at The Bristol Hippodrome in 2015 as part of English National Ballet’s annual Autumn UK Tour.
Fantastic Beings will also be streamed in full for the first time. Azure Barton’s fantastical, energetic work was originally created for English National Ballet’s She Said programme in 2016. With a cast of 20 English National Ballet dancers, this reworked version was recorded at Sadler’s Wells in 2018 when it was performed as part of the company’s Voices of America triple bill. The work is accompanied by a dynamic score by Mason Bates, Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
Whilst English National Ballet’s building is closed and some future performances and events have been cancelled, ENB at HOME sees the Company continue to give free access to great ballet content as well as providing ways to keep people fit and moving during these uncertain times. This includes online ballet classes tailored to suit a range of abilities, virtual performances from ENB Philharmonic, blogs, playlists and behind the scenes insights.
The programme for further Wednesday Watch Parties will be announced in due course.

David Bintley for the Royal Ballet in the early nineties
BRB also had a choreographic event that used the Planets with guest choreographer Rosie Kay doing a wonderful Mars and David Bintley using his Venus from the work created for RB. That was certainly an evening to remember.

I enjoyed that but I did have to open the clip in a new window.

I noticed on the BRB website that the cancelled Swan Lake performances in Plymouth have now been moved to the Autumn tour, replacing Romeo and Juliet. As the Autumn tour only comprises Birmingham, Sadler's Wells and Plymouth I wonder if there will be further changes.

A "NOW" stick or box will give you access to Sky Arts if you buy an entertainment pass. (You need HDMI connectivity on your TV).
These days a Now stick, including a one month pass for entertainment and one month for films costs around £30. It's a great way of turning an ordinary TV into a smart TV. Once your free month is up an entertainment pass is £8.99 for one month (but sometimes Curry's have them in their sale and you can stock up). With the entertainment pass you get about 10 sky channels including Sky Arts as well as all sorts of streamed box sets.
You don't need to pay for a pass to get the iPlayer and other terrestrial tv catchup facilities. You can also watch You Tube and Vimeo and can subscribe to Netflix if you want.
I got mine when they first came out and it was the best £10 I had spent in years. I upgraded to a stick about 2 years ago.
I don't have any connection to NOW or Sky but I am a big fan of the facilities it offers at comparatively small cost;

This was so full of joy it's quite set me up for the rest of the day.
I agree 110% with Sheila about Marion Tait. I consider myself so very privileged to have seen her performing since I started watching ballet in 1984 - I was going to say in her prime but, of course, she still is!!

Tuesday 28 AprilSadler's Wells Celebrates International Dance Day 2020
In celebration of International Dance Day (29 April 2020), Sadler’s Wells has curated a special playlist for digital partner Nowness, featuring films specifically created and choreographed for the screen.
The playlist features six short films that explore, through dance, the complex emotions we are feeling in this time including isolation, claustrophobia, generosity and hope. The films are all presented by Nowness and feature some of the most exciting dance artists and companies working around the world today, across all forms of dance:
- ILL-Abilities are an international hip hop crew featuring some of the world’s best differently-abled dancers. Able celebrates the skills and individuality of the group’s members, dancing alone in separate environments but bound together by their mantra - ‘no excuses, no limits’
- Scottish Ballet’s Maze is a spiky, compulsive duet presented in an abandoned swimming pool, with dancers Javier Andreu and Madeline Squire, choreographed for the screen by Sophie Laplane
- Cornered is an intimate and moving night-time solo performed by American dancer Kevin Tate, in a midnight dance in the dark inspired by the music of Sydney-based composer and pianist Adrian Klumpes and filmed in silhouette by Malta-based director James Vernon, in an isolated empty room
- Nowness’ film series Dancing About Architecture explores built environments through movement and music. In Ecos, dancers inhabit architect Luis Barragan’s Casa Estudio in Mexico City, moving through its colourful spaces and experimenting with physicality.
- Sink or Swim, choreographed by Charlotte Edmonds, dives into the mind of a woman with depression. Starring Royal Ballet principal dancer Francesca Hayward, this underwater ballet creates a moment of hope for those struggling to keep their head above water.
- An ensemble of dancers from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater illuminate the Rue Montorgeuil in Paris with a celebration of life through dance. Shot in one take, this hopeful film highlights the connection, community and joy of a shared dance.
Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage programme also continues this week, with a new workshop for International Dance Day, and a Facebook Premiere this Friday. The fifth workshop in the Company of Elders series - designed for over 60s, though anyone can take part – is presented by its regular Rehearsal Director Simona Scotto, who will lead a ballet-based session. All Company of Elders Workshops can be found online via the Sadler’s Wells Facebook and YouTube channels, alongside workshops for children and families to dance along to at home.
On Friday 1 May at 7.30pm, Sadler’s Wells Facebook Premieres continues with the world’s biggest festival of hip hop dance theatre, Breakin’ Convention, on the same weekend that this year’s festival was due to take place. Friday’s performance looks back to the 2018 edition, and an innovative collaboration with Jazz re:freshed. The partnership brought together musicians across jazz, hip-hop and beyond, to accompany five newly commissioned dance works featuring artists including The Locksmiths, The Ruggeds, Boy Blue, Ayanna Witter-Johnson and Mufasa, Tanaya ‘Ice’ Martin and host Jonzi D, UK hip hop theatre pioneer and founder of Breakin’ Convention. The full-length performance from the The Jazz re:freshed Sonic Orchestra is available at this link.
Alistair Spalding, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Sadler’s Wells, said: “Although on this International Dance Day, we can’t be together as usual to experience live performance in our theatres, we can still come together as a community to celebrate dance online. I hope that these films, alongside the performances and workshops in our Digital Stage programme, offer moments to uplift, inspire and entertain, and keep us going during these times of isolation”.
The International Dance Day screendance playlist can be found at Nowness via this link.
