alison Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 I suspect this is a repeat, but: BBC4, Sunday 7th May, 11 pm: Imagine ... Wayne McGregor - Dancing on the Edge. Possibly on so late to avoid any clash with the Coronation Concert earlier in the evening. This certainly is a repeat: Sky Arts, Wednesday 10th May, 7.25 am: The Royal Ballet in Cuba. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) On 26/04/2023 at 12:05, Sim said: Sun 30th April BBC4 8pm Dance Passion Liverpool: Find the Feeling Further information on this programme....it will feature Matthew Ball and Mayara Magri dancing Ball's piece (Re)Current, a duet he made for the two of them. Filmed in the gorgeous St. George's Hall in Liverpool, it should be lovely. Lots of great dancing from all the participants but Anton Tiplov and his British wife Jane (nee Caulfield), were very impressive in being able to dance the Ukrainian hopak with great verve and panache in practice clothes on the pavement of a busy street, frequently being “video bombed” by a passing car, but still able to smile and convey the spirit and joy of the hopak. Would love to see them get a slot in a gala or a variety show with the traditional costumes and live music instead of being “accompanied” by a “corps de ballet” of busy traffic. 😅 Edited May 4, 2023 by Emeralds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolkgal Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just watched the Wiener Staatsballet Swan Lake... I’m not keen on the latest RB version ending but this took odd decisions to a whole new level! Apart from Siegfried flailing about in dry ice - drowning I assume - if the last minute does not include the swans folded up like powder puffs on the stage as the lovers sail off into bliss I’m frankly disappointed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiniGabriel Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 BBC Four Monday 5th June 11:50 pm: Men at the Barre - Inside the Royal Ballet It's only a rerun but I love watching the fabulous boys from the Royal Ballet. Sometimes I look at London with a little envy, how much footage (training, rehearsals, performances, even if only excerpts) is published by the Royal Ballet. "My" Stuttgart Ballet is unfortunately much more stingy in this respect... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Shows how little ballet there's been on TV lately as this thread had almost vanished from the first page! SkyArts RB Giselle (again!) 6am Friday June 23rd. Usual stock photo of Acosta/Osipova which usually means it's Nunez/Muntagirov, but who knows. SkyArts NYCB Balanchine's Nutcracker Tues 27th June 6.10-8am, filmed in 2011. For an Arts channel they never seem to schedule their most artistic content at a time people actually want to watch it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed seeing Tiler Peck (who recently performed so marvellously at Sadler’s Wells) dancing the lead Marzipan Shepherdesses variation (to the Mirlitons music) in Act 2 of this morning’s broadcast of Balanchine’s Nutcracker, Ashley Bouder in the Dewdrop role in the Waltz of the Flowers, and Megan Fairchild as Sugar Plum Fairy. Interesting that in Balanchine’s choreography, Marzipan and Dewdrop actually have more difficult choreography than SPF, with the gargouillades given to Marzipan and the fouettés and some difficult jumps to Dewdrop, leaving SPF with relatively easy steps instead. Surreal to be watching Nutcracker right in the middle of a warm June morning 😂, but one is grateful for any classical ballet at all on tv nowadays. Thank you, @jmhopton for posting the listing!

jmhopton Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yes, they must but I'm with the scheduler (though not necessarily at 6am)! Vadim's Young Man (and pigeon managing skills) and Fumi's Gypsy are a fabulous combination. I think his second act solo is my favourite recorded solo of his. He just looks so happy and carefree; full of the joys of dance. Rhapsody is pretty good too! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a misprint; Carlos Acosta on the Parliament Channel! Tuesday 8th August 3.30-4am, part of a series entitles This Cultural Life. Mini doc on Carlos repeated at the more user friendly time of 4.30pm Sat 5th and also 12th Aug. Also 10.30am Sunday 6th Aug.

loveclassics Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) If there's anything ballet-related that was shown on UK TV in the last 25-30 years I probably have a DVD recording of it. I'm downsizing and have a ginormous collection of recordings i want to donate so if there's anything in particular you'd like to see, please pm me. I'm not selling but am happy to give stuff to ballet-lovers, rather than add to landfill.

Orlandau Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Great Railway Journeys St. Petersburg to Tashkent available on BBC iPlayer. Natalia Makarova and her son return to Russia in this 1994 documentary. It's very interesting to see the various cities the train, 'The Bolshoi Express' visits. Scenes that have stuck in my mind are the fishermen trying to catch sturgeon for caviar; the war memorial in the former Stalingrad; the circus scene where Andrusha nearly gives Natasha a heart attack playing on the trapeze; and the young dancer at the end. I can't say I liked the English passengers on the train, I don't think I would like to spend two weeks with them. Here is the link: BBC iPlayer - Great Railway Journeys - Series 2: 3. Natalia Makarova: St. Petersburg To Tashkent Well worth a watch! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiniGabriel Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Tonight a new episode of Dance around the World with Eric Gauthier was shown on 3sat. This time it was about London. Among other things, excerpts from a rehearsal for "Jewels - Diamonds" with Marianela Nunez as well as excerpts from a rehearsal and the performance of MacMillan's "Mayerling" were shown (if I saw that correctly, probably Ryoichi Hirano and Natalia Osipova as Rudolf and Mary, also Marianela Nunez as Mitzi). There was a brief visit to the Royal Ballet School, Ballet Rambert, Wayne McGregor Studios, Hofesh Shechter and Akram Khan. If you want to get a taste of it and are not put off by the fact that it is a German documentary, here is the link to the 3sat media library, where you can access the program until August 4th, 2024: https://www.3sat.de/kultur/kultur-in-3sat/dance-around-the-world-london-102.html The show is not aimed specifically at a ballet audience, but aims to introduce the culturally interested viewer to various people from the contemporary dance scene in each location, so please don't expect in-depth discussions. I found it very entertaining nonetheless. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
