  • A Mixed Blessing at the Ballet 01
    Daily Telegraph July 28 2001 A mixed blessing at the ballet Photo Sheila Rock As Anthony Dowell leaves the Royal Ballet, dance critic Ismene Brown assesses his 15-year regime as director - and stars pay tribute below AT THE Royal Ballet the countdown has begun to the end of an era. A week tonight, amid flowers, Champagne and tears, Sir Anthony Dowell, the longest-serving ballet director since the company’s founder, Ninette de Valois, will end his 15-year regime. He was undoubtedly one of the great world stars of dancing, and the “Celebration Programme” will mark his achievements as such. But about his success as director of the company, opinion is far from unanimous. What makes a good director? The question has never been more of a poser than during Dowell\s captaincy of the ballet, in the most turbulent years of the Royal Opera House’s history. There are many pluses on Dowell’s account sheet - his maintenance of high classical technical standards, his welcoming of key foreign artists into the Royal (particularly Sylvie Guillem and Irek Mukhamedov), his inspiring coaching, to which leading guest stars attest opposite. The rise of Darcey Bussell to world acclaim, the forging of a superb partnership between Mukhamedov and Viviana Durante, this final, nostalgic and beautiful 2000-01 season - these are positive memories. He will be noted as a conservative, and many welcomed this after an insecure period of modernising under his predecessor, Norman Morrice. Whether conservatism has served the company well for the future, though, is debatable. In the shifting landscape of ballet, conservatism is not enough to hold steady.

  • Sylvie Guillem's Final Australian Performances
    Wednesday 6th May, 2015 Sydney Opera House Presents Sylvie Guillem’s Final Australian Performances 19th – 25th August Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House One of the world’s greatest ballerinas, Sylvie Guillem, will perform her final Australian shows ever at the Sydney Opera House this August as a part of her world tour Life in Progress. This will be the last chance for Australian audiences to see Guillem perform before her retirement from an unparalleled 35-year ballet and contemporary dance career. Guillem will perform six shows only of Life in Progress, a new production created especially for her farewell tour, which includes two new works – techne, a solo from choreographer Akram Khan accompanied by live music, and a duet with Italian dancer Emanuela Montanari from La Scala, entitled Here & After by choreographer Russell Maliphant. The evening will also showcase William Forsythe’s Duo featuring guest dancers Brigel Gjoka and Riley Watts, and Mats Ek’s audience favourite Bye. Sydney Opera House Presents Director of Programming, Jonathan Bielski, said that it is fitting for the greatest ballerina of this era to give her final Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House. “Ms Guillem is one of the most remarkable dancers the world has ever seen and her final bows will be mourned by dance lovers around the world. There is nothing more apt than a dancer of such extraordinary talent giving her final Australian performances atop the iconic Sydney Opera House stage. Ms Guillem’s fourth and final Sydney season will be the last opportunity Australian audiences have to witness the most significant ballerina of our time before the curtain comes down on her glittering career,” he said.

  • Centre Stage the Pipeline of Bame Talent
    CENTRE STAGE THE PIPELINE OF BAME TALENT AndrewAndrew Lloyd Lloyd Webber Webber FoundationFoundation INTRODUCTION— hen I produced Bombay Dreams over a decade ago and was privileged Wto introduce the marvellous music of A R Rahman to a West End audience, one of our greatest difficulties was finding enough Asian actors. BAME diversity in the performing arts has once again been high on the agenda this year, from the runaway success of Hamilton on Broadway to the latest announcement from Arts Council England of £4.6 million to boost diversity. Very often the discussion is focussed on increasing the representation of diverse ethnicities on stage and this is crucially important. However, I’ve been acutely aware that one of the biggest issues is the lack of trained diverse talent coming through. Casting directors and theatre producers alike often complain that they’d like to cast more Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic performers but that they don’t get enough turning up to audition. Inspired by some of the success stories coming out of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation’s scholarship programme – such as Emmanuel Kojo who is interviewed in these pages – the Foundation decided to commission this " I PASSIONATELY research. The aim was to come up with some positive recommendations that BELIEVE THAT can be adopted by people involved at every stage of the talent pipeline from THE STAGE NEEDS school to stage. TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE UK I passionately believe that the stage needs to reflect the diversity of the POPULATION OR IT UK population or it risks becoming side-lined.

  • A Choreographer's Handbook
    A Choreographer’s Handbook On choreography: ‘Choreography is a negotiation with the patterns your body is thinking’ On rules: ‘Try breaking the rules on a need to break the rules basis’ A Choreographer’s Handbook invites the reader to investigate how and why to make a dance performance. In an inspiring and unusually empowering sequence of stories, ideas and paradoxes, internationally renowned dancer, choreographer and teacher Jonathan Burrows explains how it’s possible to navigate a course through this complex process. It is a stunning reflection on a personal practice and professional journey, and draws upon five years of workshop discussions, led by Burrows. Burrows’ open and honest prose gives the reader access to a range of exercises, meditations, principles and ideas on choreography that allow artists and dance-makers to find their own aesthetic process. It is a book for anyone interested in making performance, at whatever level and in whichever style. Jonathan Burrows has toured and worked internationally as a dancer and choreographer and is currently a resident artist at Kaaitheater Brussels. In 2002 he was commended by the Foundation for Contempor- ary Performance Arts in New York for his contribution to contemporary dance, and in 2004 received a New York Dance and Performance ‘Bessie’ for his work ‘Both Sitting Duet’. He has made commissioned work for many companies, including William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt, Sylvie Guillem and The Royal Ballet. He is a visiting member of faculty at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels and is a Visiting Professor at Hamburg University and Royal Holloway University of London.
