Jane Simpson Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 ... for the happiest of reasons: she expects her first child in December. The company hopes to give her a proper farewell at the start of next season instead of the planned April 2016 date. There's a long interview with her, in Danish, in Berlingske - she talks about her plans for the future and also the way her perception of retirement has changed from dread to acceptance as the deadline has got nearer.

Jane Simpson Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Gudrun Bojesen's son, Gabriel, was born 10 days before Christmas. There's a long piece about her, in Danish, in Berlingske Among other things it says she's hoping to get back into condition for a farewell performance of some sort next season, and that she hopes she will be involved in teaching at the RDB school - I hope so too!

Anne Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I couldn't agree more: It is really great news that we might have a chance of seeing her once more on the stage. Thank you for posting a link to the interview, Jane. It is great to learn that she is happy in her new life as a mother. There was a birthday portrait of her in Jyllands Posten on the 1st of February, a day before her 40th birthday - a full half page with a photo http://www.jyllands-posten.dk/protected/premium/navne/omtale/ECE8406988/en-danserinde-har-gjort-sin-pligt-med-sjael-og-naervaer/. It said in the first lines after the headline (in my poor translation): "She was a ballerina in a class of her own. One of those rare ones. One of those who combines a perfect technique with a radiant stage presence, so that you were never in any doubt, that what you saw was a star. Without at any time behaving like a star."

JMcN Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Congratulations to Gudrun Bojesen on the birth of her son. I too hope she will be teaching at the RDBS. Link to comment
Anne Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Gudrun Bojesen's farewell performance will be October 15. I didn't see this before it was almost too late to get tickets (I got some very poor ones, but at least i will be there). Link to the theatre's homepage: https://kglteater.dk/det-sker/sason-20162017/ballet/gudrun-bojesens-aften/ They haven't announced what the programme will be, just that it is "Gudrun Bojesen's night".
