Jane S Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Today's Times2 has a 2-page spread about the Skelton Hooper School in Hull and the extraordinary number of male dancers it produces: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/times2/the-boys-in-tights-who-became-hulls-most-unexpected-export-l3d9xw62z (I was a bit surprised to see the Trocks described as "an all-male troupe who do bowdlerised comedy versions of the classics" - really?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, many more dancers have come from Hull... Mark Silver, Robert Parker, Natasha Oughtred, Ashley Dixon and Neil Westmorland to name but a few.

Pas de Quatre Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 There is a lovely picture in today's Times of four of Olga Semenova's pupils (Photo: Nigel Norrington) with the announcement that her school, previously Russian Imperial Ballet School, is moving studios and changing its name to Masters of Ballet Academy with Artistic Directors Elena Glurjidze and Olga Semenova. Sorry don't know how to put a link in, perhaps someone else can oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a quick trip to my local newsagent. Gorgeous photo, and what a handsome couple they are! Such a shame Miss Naghdi is not given a go this time around. I understand senior Principals Osipova, Nunez and Cuthbertson have priority over her but surely she could have been given a Matinee...Now we'll have to wait 3 or 4 years I guess before Sylvia returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Cuthbertson, Lamb, Morera, Nunez and Osipova are older, have been Principals for longer, and are more experienced but the nice thing about the RB is that there is no distinction within the top rank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Casting at the RB is not undertaken on the basis of time served or seniority. Heap in Carmen for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Times 2 section this morning has a long interview with Irek Mukhamedov (by Sarah Crompton) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 In today's Sunday Times magazine there's an interview with Yasmine Naghdi and a small feature on Alexander Campbell. See Today's Links for the links! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina G. Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thank you for the alert re. Sunday Times interview with Yasmine Naghdi (needless to say I dashed out to get my ST copy . Such a lovely and excellent interview by Sarah Crompton. There are several angles in the interview where we get to know Naghdi from a different perspective... not in the least Crompton's suggestion that Naghdi's diplomatic skills will lead her into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as her next career... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Also there is a full page article/review of Project Polunin in the Culture section. Actually the Yasmine piece is in the Culture section not the magazine. Edited December 17, 2017 by Pas de Quatre Add last sentence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penelopesimpson Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Just checking that his fans (no names!) saw the piece in the back of the Times Colour Supplement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yes, it was included in links. Thank you. It is worth perusing the links section - it's surprising what pops up in there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Beautiful photo in the World news section of today's Times, of a dancer taken from above, showing her face centred above a lovely white tutu. Sadly the accompanying caption says "Protest Marché - Deborah Ribeiro, a Brazilian ballerina, performs at a rally against the Rio council, which has not paid artistes at the Theatro Municipal for months". How tragic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 There is a photo in today's Times (26th December) of Marianela Nunez and Vadim Muntagirov in their costumes for the new production of Swan Lake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Newcombe Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Tutu may be short and classical but it looks very feathery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think the tutu looks lovely. Also in today's Times there is a double page spread entitled News pictures of the Year, one of which is of Sottish Ballet's production of Hansel & Gretel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridiem Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Thanks John. Looks good to me except that the bodice of the tutu looks silver which I'm not sure I'd like. I suppose that means that Nunez and Muntagirov are first cast? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanartus Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I really hope casting for this, and indeed the summer triple bill, is announced sooner rather than later. Now I'm living in Berlin I've got to be far more organised! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 They look ethereally beautiful- how exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Looks lovely. Maybe the silvery hue of the bodice is supposed to reflect the lake shimmering in the moonlight. The skirt is gorgeous! As Siegfried is once again in black tights I hope the lighting people remember that if the stage is gloomily lit it can at times seem that he is a dancing torso; this happened time and again in the Dowell production, especially in Act 3. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Lovely photo in today's main section of The Times p. 17 of ENB's La Sylphide. The two dancers, the Sylph & James aren't named, and as I don't want to lead anyone astray if I am wrong, perhaps some else could identify them.
