  • Out and About with the Vic-Wells
    President: Vice President: No. 480 - September 2012 Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Price 50p when sold Out and About with the Vic-Wells Shakespeare at the British Museum There will be a Vic-Wells visit to the British Museum’s current exhibition Shakespeare: staging the world on Monday, 1st October 2012. The exhibition provides a new insight into the emerging role of London as a world city four hundred years ago, interpreted through the innovative perspective of Shakespeare’s plays - and features over 190 objects. The exhibition creates a unique dialogue between these objects drawn from the museum’s collection. Great paintings, rare manuscripts, maps, drawings, armour, coins and other intriguing objects are all examined through the lens of Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare: staging the world also explores the theatre-going experience at the time. The newly built playhouses were situated in the suburbs: Bankside was an area with a dangerous and notorious reputation. The theatres needed to attract large numbers of playgoers and so performances had to appeal to a wide spectrum of society, from groundlings to courtiers. Objects excavated from the sites of the Globe and Rose theatres, such as a sucket fork for sweetmeats and the skull of a bear, illustrate the Southwark of Shakespeare’s day, the cultural world inhabited by the playhouse, which rubbed shoulders with bear-baiting arenas as well as brothels and pubs. The British Museum has produced, working with the Royal Shakespeare Company, a series of new digital interventions which appear throughout the exhibition, allowing visitors to encounter Shakespeare’s words and characters alongside the objects on The Lyte Jewel display.

  • The Red Shoes Digital Programme 13.67 MB
    A NEW ADVENTURES AND ILLUMINATIONS PRODUCTION FOR BBC DIGITAL PROGRAMME WELCOME FROM NEW ADVENTURES Dear friends, Welcome to our spectacular production of The Red Shoes, filmed last year at Sadler’s Wells, London. This show is the culmination of a twenty-year ambition to bring Powell and Pressburger’s seminal 1948 film to the stage. It is also, in many ways, a personal love letter to a life in theatre and dance, made all the more poignant by this year’s unexpected events. When we created the show in 2016, we were delighted by the response from audiences everywhere we went, returning to some venues for a second run by popular demand! The production went on to win two Olivier Awards and was also honoured with by the LA Critics’ Awards for both choreography and set and costume design. This film version features a star-studded cast and many of the original cast in the roles they created, including Dominic North, Michela Meazza, Liam Mower, Glenn Graham and the wonderful Ashley Shaw who won a National Dance Award for her role as Victoria Page. We were also joined by an old friend of the company, the great Adam Cooper, who played the iconic role of The Swan in my original production of Swan Lake 25 years ago. We were so delighted that Adam returned to The Red Shoes company to take on the role of enigmatic impresario, Boris Lermontov. This last year has been so challenging for us all and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters and loyal audiences who have sent messages of encouragement from around the globe.

  • A Study on the Gender Imbalance Among Professional Choreographers Working in the Fields of Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance
    Where are the female choreographers? A study on the gender imbalance among professional choreographers working in the fields of classical ballet and contemporary dance. Jessica Teague August 2016 This Dissertation is submitted to City University as part of the requirements for the award of MA Culture, Policy and Management 1 Abstract The dissertation investigates the lack of women working as professional choreographers in both the UK and the wider international dance sector. Although dance as an art form within western cultures is often perceived as ‘the art of women,’ it is predominately men who are conceptualising the works and choreographing the movement. This study focuses on understanding the phenomenon that leads female choreographers to be less likely to produce works for leading dance companies and venues than their male counterparts. The research investigates the current scope of the gender imbalance in the professional choreographic field, the reasons for the imbalance and provides theories as to why the imbalance is more pronounced in the classical ballet sector compared to the contemporary dance field. The research draws together experiences and statistical evidence from two significant branches of the artistic process; the choreographers involved in creating dance and the Gatekeepers and organisations that commission them. Key issues surrounding the problem are identified and assessed through qualitative data drawn from interviews with nine professional female choreographers. A statistical analysis of the repertoire choices of 32 leading international dance companies quantifies and compares the severity of the gender imbalance at the highest professional level. The data indicates that the scope of the phenomenon affects not only the UK but also the majority of the Western world.
