Jonathan Ollivier RIP


Recommended Posts

Jonathan Ollivier of New Adventures, currently starring in the lead role of Matthew Bourne's The Car Man, was killed in a car crash while he was driving his motorcycle. It was the day of the final performance of The Car Man and the performance was cancelled. What a tragedy.

He was a former dancer at Northern Ballet and Alberta Ballet before joining New Adventures and he also performed the dual role of The Swan/ The Stranger in Bourne's Swan Lake.

Such devastating news.

As a fan of Northern Ballet I was lucky to see many of his performances with them. He was always so charming with his fans. When we saw him most recently as Swan/Stranger in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake he noticed a group of us sat on the front row at the Lowry. He acknowledged us with a wink at the curtain calls.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

This is very tragic; may Jonathan Ollivier RIP.

I just read this on BBC as well and such a tragedy and confirms my believe that speeding, texting while driving and too much distracted driving these days: <http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-33843332>

My deepest sympathy to his family, so sad for this young and talented dancer and I hope that driver pays somehow, either jail time or something, but I guess I won't bring Jonathan back to his loved ones.
