It was on their Instagram stories a day or so ago. (I don’t understand companies that don’t post news like this in posts as well as stories.) Text translated by google: Participation in World Ballet Day decided! November 1, 2023 (Wednesday) 13:00~ TETSUYA KUMAKAWA BALLET TOKYO To commemorate the 10th anniversary of World Ballet Day, where ballet companies from around the world connect the day through video, K-Ballet Tokyo will be participating for the first time.

Dawnstar Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 A bit more World Ballet Day promotion from the RB. (Personally I'm rather regretting having booked the Anemoi/Cellist double bill on 1st November, before I knew it was going to be WBD that day.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three will be held on the Historical Stage, “Swan Lake” will “move” to the New Stage during the rehearsal. We invite viewers to take a virtual look behind the scenes and spend time with ballet dancers and honored teachers of the Bolshoi Theater. Presenters: prima ballerina Eleonora Sevenard and Prime Minister Denis Rodkin. Also on November 1 at 18:00 in the official Big VKontakte community you will be able to watch an interview with Eleanor Sevenard. It will open a series of meetings with dancers of the ballet troupe as part of the “Bolshoi Speaks” project. Ballet". You will find interviews with prima ballerinas Alena Kovaleva, Elizaveta Kokoreva, Eleonora Sevenard, premiere Dmitry Smilevsky, leading soloist Eva Sergeenkova and soloist Maria Koshkareva. Some of them are just beginning their journey in the theater, while others have already reached the highest level of the Bolshoi Ballet, some are in love with classical productions, while others prefer modern ones. They all have one thing in common: a love of dance in all its forms.

FionaM Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) The beauty of World Ballet Day … any dance entity can participate and anyone can choose what to watch (or not). Personally I find the whole day rather overwhelming … too much is produced and broadcast simultaneously. I like that ENB, NB and BRB are jointly advertising each other. https://www.instagram.com/p/CzBeCVvs_0P/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Edited October 31, 2023 by FionaM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 @alison oops sorry about the ‘prime minister’ thing … it was an automated translation from their Telegram post.

And I never seem to get around to catching up with all of it Lol. Yes please, Denis seems a nice chap in interviews, modest and pleasant to all. Would be a massive improvement (although I think it's the other top job that needs replacing)...OK, back to WBD livestreams.....haha. I usually start off bright and eager at the beginning with Australian Ballet at the start very early in the morning, then have to leave as the real world kicks in, and return later to catch the Canadians and Americans. I don't usually get a chance to see European companies live, but can catch a few on YouTube later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Perregrino Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Wanting to celebrate World Ballet Day somehow, I could think of no better way than to ask the question forever on many BCF members lips to ROH management: “La Fille….what’s the story? Fact or fiction?” Contrary to popular rumour and the conspiracy theories that abound on BCF, La Fille hasn’t been banned at the ROH. (I believe that it was scheduled and then had to be shelved due to the Pandemic so was a part of the lost season that also included Alice). All being well it ought to be staged within the next couple of seasons. Happy World Ballet Day 🙂 Edited November 1, 2023 by PeterS 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Working today and there seems to be little information on exactly what is being presented for WBD. Is it possible for anyone watching to note highlights in terms of performances being rehearsed etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, capybara said: Emerging Choreographer ( In the recent Insights for Black History Month he said he was recommended by Wayne McGregor who has mentored him since he was 18 I recall? Must watch it again to check. So that could explain a great deal. Am I confused (well more than usual) is this a new position then or has someone else moved on?

bridiem Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 14 minutes ago, capybara said: Thanks @Ondine Yes, that is what's on the website. However, I don't recall Tonga's move from being Emerging Choreographer (for 2 years) to Choreographer in Residence actually being announced. And the way in which the position was mentioned by Alexander Campbell made it sound as if it was something relatively new. Yes, it did. But I see from a press release from Toonga's PR company in May 2022 about a tour of his new work 'Born to Exist', he was described as the Royal Ballet's 'Emerging Choreographer in Residence'. So maybe these various terms are interchangeable. Or maybe there has been a change. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
