    At an RB 'open' class a few years ago, the presenter (David Pickering IIRC) told us that principals had a choice of which class to attend, but other ranks went to allocated classes.

    Last night, Gamache was Thomas Whitehead (Bennet Gartside was Lorenzo).

    Harry Churches and (I think) Harris Bell

    Adding Matthew Ball's facial expressions and interaction with others to the list!

    Plus the RBS matinée is not an ROH show (in the same way as the Bolshoi) so the ROH has no control over the process for advance booking etc.

    Sorry, which production is that?
  8. bangorballetboy
    Very pleased to hear this. I hope you enjoy these ballets as I think they are both terrific.

    I think everyone on this board is very clear as to your opinion on the open up project, so please don't make this thread about that too.

    I imagine that many organisations probably feel it’s not an efficient use of funds to produce publicity materials for a limited number of users. Would you or your friend be willing to pay for an information brochure?

    Cuthbertson did not dance in Sleeping Beauty due to illness, not injury. Please do not speculate on things like this when you have no knowledge.

    And NYC also now has the observation platform at the top of One World (where the WTC was). A tip if you want to do that one is to buy the VIP ticket which offers a significantly shorter queue and allows you to by-pass the exhibition if you wish to do so.

    This is fantastic: https://www.sail-nyc.com/aiany-architecture-boat-tour/

    Which is why I provided it...

    It is possible to distinguish between the meaning of (or sentiment behind) a comment and the actual words used.
  16. bangorballetboy
    Whilst the comment was indeed somewhat belittling and inappropriate in the choice of words, it made sense in the context of the question that was being answered, which was along the lines of "can you spot star quality at a young age?" This comment was made along with others about how people develop at different paces and top quality comes for some early on and others take time to come to their best work. In that context, the remark was certainly not dismissive of Cope's ability (bearing in mind also that she was Liam Scarlett's muse at the time she took her sabbatical).

    Not in R&J they couldn't.

    It should be remembered that the dancers have a full day of rehearsal and need a period of rest before a show. A start that is earlier than 7.30 will mean a similar reduction in rehearsal time each show day.

    Last time I was at the Coliseum (admittedly for opera), there was a message on the surtitle screen encouraging the filming of curtain calls.

    I think this specific announcement was made as the two named dancers were participating in the insight evening. I don't think it was meant to suggest that they are the only students joining the programme next season.
  21. bangorballetboy
    I'm only repeating what O'Hare said.
  22. bangorballetboy
    It wasn't on the ROH website because it wasn't an ROH event. It was a charity event held within ROH spaces booked by the charity.
  23. bangorballetboy
    Kevin O’Hare announces at tonight’s insight event that all six of the current Aud Jebsen young dancers have contracts to join the company next season. it was also announced that current RBS dancers Brayden Gallucci and Bomin Kim will be joining the programme in September.
  24. bangorballetboy
    Quickest way to a production page is via google!
  25. bangorballetboy
    Precisely the three points I was making to someone before R&J tonight!
