The objects of the company are to advance the education of the public in the arts and sciences of ballet, dance, music and drama. Birmingham Royal Ballet seeks to be the UK’s foremost international touring ballet company, enriching people’s lives through dance, and aspiring to excellence in all that it does. The achievements of Birmingham Royal Ballets strategic aims and objectives for the 2014 - 15 financial year are set out in the Strategic Report below. CREATIVITY AND PERFORMANCES Birmingham Royal Ballet tours the widest range of ballet repertory of any large-scale ballet ensuring access to world class performances to audiences throughout the United Kingdom with more than 90% of performances being given outside of London. The specific artistic objectives for the 2014-15 period were: Create two new, one act ballets by young choreographers to be premiered at the Crescent Theatre, Birmingham as part of International Dance Festival Birmingham (IDFB). Re-create of Miracle in the Gorbals (originally created in 1944 by Robert Helpman) as part of the Shadows of War programme in autumn 2014. These objectives were fully realised and contributed to our artistic highlights below: Two new works by young choreographers; Kin by former BRB dancer Alexander Whitley and Quatrain by BRB dancer Kit Holder. Both works received their world premiere at the Crescent Theatre as part of International Dance Festival Birmingham 2014 and were then performed across eight venues as part of BRB’s 2014 midscale tour. Miracle in the Gorbals - a pioneering work originally created in 1944 by Robert Helpman, an example of ‘dirty ballet’ in which real people were represented in a real environment through both design and movement. BRB commissioned Dame Gillian Lynne (a member of the original cast) to re-create the choreography for the ballet, using the original set designs by Edward Burra, a leading 20th-century British artist. Two other surviving members of the cast Pauline Clayden and Julia Farron assisted with the recreation. Carmina Burana - the first work that David Bintley created for BRB as Director, was revived with a run of four outstanding performances at the London Coliseum. The performances were enthusiastically received by audiences, critically acclaimed and were noteworthy both for the strength of the dance performances and the outstanding musical presentation by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia (BRB’s orchestra) and Ex Cathedra one of the UK’s leading vocal consorts, based in Birmingham. The complete repertory performed during the year was: Ballet Choreography Music Kin.

The placement is being shared between Birmingham Royal Ballet and Rambert Dance Company to give a broad range of experience and opportunity and the appointment demonstrates BRB’s commitment to developing a new generation of conductors with the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct for dance performances. AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT Encouraging new audiences to experience, share and enjoy the work of the company is important and audience research and development programmes are critical to building and diversifying our audience base. Our main audience development objectives were to: Continue to offer low cost entries to ensure that price is not a barrier to access and develop pricing plans and offers to attract new audiences and consumers looking for an ‘introductory’ experience of ballet Work with other cultural organisations both in Birmingham and nationally to develop audience understanding and intelligence, cross art form marketing programmes and access opportunities Increase access to Birmingham Royal Ballet through the website including provision of information in digital format and increasing the use of video and music on the website and in e-marketing strategies Pricing and audience intelligence objectives have been achieved through: Using demand analysis to influence change in Triple Bill pricing based on similar successful models from UK and abroad to attract a more contemporary ‘risk taking’ audience and consumers looking for an ‘introductory’ experience. Audience and pricing research undertaken London (2013) leading to more focused and sequential campaigns for the 2015 London Coliseum resulting in 13% growth in paid attendees and 79% new attendees. The learning from this campaign is now being shared across other venue campaigns in order to replicate similar success. New marketing and awareness

    Director: Ross McKim MA PhD NBS (IDP) Patrons: Lady Anya Sainsbury CBE Robert Cohan CBE Prospectus 2 About Us Rambert School, is recognised internationally as one of the small group of first-level professional dance schools of the world. In order to remain so, and to support its students (given the demands they must confront), Rambert School provides a contained, bordered and protected environment through which an unusual and intense level of energy and professionalism is created, respected, treasured and sustained. “Rambert School is a place of education and training in Ballet, Contemporary Dance and Choreography. It seeks to cause or allow each student to achieve his or her unique potential personally and professionally. It encourages learning, reflection, research and creative discovery. Through these processes, as they relate to performance dance, all those at the school are provided with the opportunity to develop their vision, awareness, knowledge and insight into the world and the self. They may thus advance in terms of their art form and their lives.” Principal and Artistic Director Dr Ross McKim MA PhD NBS (IDP) Conservatoire for Dance and Drama Clifton Lodge, St Margaret’s Drive, Twickenham TW1 1QN Telephone: 020 8892 9960 Fax: 020 8892 8090 Mail: [email protected] www.rambertschool.org.uk 3 History Marie Rambert began teaching in London in 1919.

By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.
