Introduction
Introduction The World Ballet Festival Returns for Summer 2018 From the 14th World Ballet FestivalPhoto: Kiyonori Hasegawa For more than 40 years now, the most talented and renowned dancers have come to Tokyo from around the world to perform in the World Ballet Festival, which will once again be held this summer. When it was first introduced in 1976 under the leadership of Tadatsugu Sasaki, it was very rare for the star ballerinas of different companies or countries to share a stage. Its first edition caused an international sensation by bringing together three legends, Margot Fonteyn from the UK, Maya Plisetskaya from the Soviet Union and Alicia Alonso from Cuba. Since then stars such as Jorge Donn, Patrick Dupond, Sylvie Guillem, Alessandra Ferri, Manuel Legris and Vladimir Malakhov have become regular participants, bringing the audiences to a storm of excitement every time and inspiring them to watch and compare all the dancers perform. The circle of energy created between audiences and artists in this festival produces an atmosphere that motivates dancers to perform to the best of their abilities, and has resulted in many legendary performances. Featuring the world's leading dancers, all from different artistic backgrounds and representing a wide variety of repertoire and styles, the festival also offers an opportunity to observe an overview of today's ballet scene. While there are now many similar festivals, the quality of both artists and audiences at the World Ballet Festival continues to be amongst the highest in the world. Ballet is an art form that unites finely tuned bodies and minds with sophisticated powers of expression, to create a deep and lasting impression on the audience members.

GALA DES ETOILES 2018 “A Breeze of Russian Seasons” Am 26
GALA DES ETOILES 2018 “A Breeze of Russian Seasons” Am 26. und 27. Mai 2018 in Luxemburg Ballettgala mit gefeierten Stargästen im Grand-Théâtre Die jährlich stattfindende Gala des Etoiles wurde bereits im Jahr 2012 ins Leben gerufen und hat inzwischen weltweit BallettfreundInnen gefunden. Nach den großartigen Erfolgen der letzten fünf Jahre, mit StartänzerInnen wie z.B. Svetlana Zakharova Lucia Lacarra oder Vladimir Malakhov haben die Veranstalter von DanceXperience an einem neuen Konzept für das internationale Balletthighlight gefeilt, das im Grand Théâtre Luxemburg am 26. und 27. Mai 2018 zur Aufführung kommen und der begeisterten Fangemeinde sicherlich erneut Standing Ovations entlocken wird. “A Breeze of Russian Seasons” soll einerseits an den großen Impresario Sergei Diaghilev erinnern, der durch seine schöpferische Kraft und Kühnheit die Welt des Balletts vor über 100 Jahren revolutionierte, sowie als Hommage dem genialen französisch-russischen Balletttänzer und Choreographen Marius Petipa anlässlich seines 200. Geburtstages gewidmet werden. Als Ehrengast beim ersten Gala-Abend wird die russische Tanzlegende Vladimir Vasiliev erwartet, der auch die Programmierung des Abends zwischen seiner damaligen Zeit und der Gegenwart inspiriert hat. Neben den akademischen Klassikern wagen die Veranstalter einige Experimente und verleihen ihrer Gala eine neue Ausrichtung. So wird z.B. eine internationale Kreation präsentiert, in deren Verlauf sich Hip Hop (Kendra Horsburgh, Luxembourg) und Ballett (Francesco Costa, Wiener Staatsballett) zu einer Einheit verschmelzen. Weltstar Veronika Dzhioeva, Erste Solistin beim Novosibirsk Theatre of Opera and Ballet, Gastsolistin beim Bolshoi Theatre Moscow und Mariinsky Theatre St. Petersburg, wird in zwei eigens für die Gala, nach einer Idee von Natascha Ipatova, als Teil der kreierten Choreographien mt Tänzern des Wiener Staatsballetts auftreten, am Flügel begleitet vom Artistic Director der Gala und Starpianist der Wiener Staatsoper, Igor Zapravdin.

Leeds Grand Theatre 17 - 26 June 2021 Dear Audiences, We Heartily Welcome You Back to Our Tour
SWAN LAKE A BALLET BY DAVID NIXON OBE Leeds Grand Theatre 17 - 26 June 2021 Dear audiences, we heartily welcome you back to our tour. As I write this, following one of the most challenging years our industry has ever faced, there is a palpable sense of optimism and excitement that the light is finally at the end of the tunnel and better days are just around the corner. Indeed, it feels like a victory that I am writing this note knowing it will be read by audiences attending our first tour since autumn 2019. Through the darkest days of lockdown, at Northern Ballet we have found opportunities to let our creativity shine a light. Without the tour demanding most of our time and resources, our programme of digital films has grown exponentially in unexpected and wonderful ways. However, performing live in front of an audience is in our blood; at the very core of why we do the job we do. We are still limited in terms of the productions we are able to rehearse and perform whilst adhering to the safety measures we have in place Welcome to protect our company. In Salford and London, we performed an adapted version of Dangerous Liaisons which was also a big success when we were able to revive it for a brief number of performances at Leeds Playhouse in October 2020. Contemporary Cuts 2021, David Nixon OBE performed in London only, is a fantastic programme of our most Artistic Director popular contemporary short works and excerpts from full-length productions. This programme includes Kenneth Tindall’s States of Mind which was our first stage production to be created entirely during lockdown.

The Royal Ballet's Star Duo Reveal How They've Become the Best Pairing in Years
The Royal Ballet's star duo reveal how they've become the best pairing in years The red-haired stars Steven McRae and Iana Salenko praise each other in an exclusive interview at their rehearsal by Jessica Duchen 27 th October 2015 Iana Salenko and Steven McRae look as if they might have been separated at birth – and not just because they share the same shade of red-gold hair. These star dancers, performing many of their leading roles together this season with the Royal Ballet, are blessed with proportions that match wonderfully; beyond that, so does their dancing. Both possess unquenchable technical strength, with a clean-cut purity of line, precision of detail, and soaring jumps that thrill with a joyous, open-hearted energy. I’m lucky enough to watch them rehearse George Balanchine’s Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, which they dance in the Royal Ballet’s cinema relay on 12 November, shown live in more than 1,500 cinemas around the world. They are being coached in its virtuoso challenges by Patricia Neary, a star of the great choreographer’s New York City Ballet in the Sixties. At one point she dissects a complex pattern of footwork in leaping turns that Salenko must execute, involving a linking step that travels further than expected. Salenko masters it in one go. Neary praises her: “Your technique is so strong that it doesn’t even affect you.” As for the partnership, there’s no friction at all. The session is demanding, yet feels unusually relaxed, with smiles and laughter all round.
