dirac Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 An article on the ballet scene in postwar Malta. Quote As explained in the chapter ‘The Ballet Boom of the Fifties’ in the recently-published book Princess Poutiatine and the Art of Ballet in Malta, ballet in Malta appealed to the post-war, aspirational middle classes of Malta. For the British Forces’ families on the island, ballet perpetuated the connections between the followers of the art form and their homeland. For pioneers, like Princess Nathalie Poutiatine, Isobel Monro and other teachers on the island, the sacredness of ballet offered a cultural significance. Link to comment

Quote “Now we have time to revisit or do something again, which is a fantastic opportunity that you never get on stage,” she said with a laugh. “When you dance in the moment, you feel it and you enjoy it.

dirac Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Kevin O'Hare writes about working during the pandemic in The Evening Standard. Quote The fortunate thing about this second lockdown for the Royal Ballet is that we have been able to carry on in some ways. It is essential work for dancers to keep rehearsing and keep in shape. On Monday morning I have a meeting with the CEO of the Royal Opera House — the main aim of all these conversations is to get ourselves and our audience into the building, which involves things we never had to think of before, such as the airflow in the studios. The dancers all wear masks in rehearsals and we test twice a week. Link to comment
