  • 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.

  • My-Dance-INTERACTIVE-3.Pdf
    i Since 1920, the Royal Academy of Dance has had a significant influence on the dance teaching profession – not just in the United Kingdom but all over the world. And our work continues to make a real difference to the lives of our members, students, teachers and staff. Classical ballet has played a central part in the RAD’s history and to this day is fundamental to who we are. Our mission, however, has expanded over the years and now includes an ever-widening range of genres and activities. Our students, who now range from two and a half to those in their 90s, and from all walks of life, can study styles ranging from ballet to contemporary, to hip hop and jazz. Our ever-increasing programme of outreach work brings dance into diverse communities, from those who are marginalised by circumstances or disability, to those who just want to have fun and get fit. And our Faculty of Education’s research into how dance contributes to wellbeing has led to the development of specialist training for older learners. The RAD is also the international centre for Benesh Movement Notation, which ensures that the work of choreographers is recorded and preserved. The increasing diversity of our work means that our relationship with both our members and many different audiences is also very varied. How the RAD is perceived today is often determined by a very personal experience. ‘my Dance’ gives voice to those experiences from around the world, united by their RAD membership and their passion for dance. From our Artistic Director to Genée candidates’ success stories and from members living in remote and far-flung places to figures playing important roles in theirlocal communities, all have their voice here, adding to the unique story of the RAD.

In 1989, on the opening night of the show, she was promoted to Principal, at the time the youngest ballerina to be given this honour. Darcey remained a Principal dancer with The Royal Ballet until her retirement in 2007. Darcey retired from ballet with a final performance of MacMillan’s Song of the Earth performed at the Royal Opera House and broadcast live on BBC Two. She has been featured in television documentaries including the BBC’s Britain’s Ballerina (2005) and appeared in numerous televised ballet galas and TV programmes. In 1995 Darcey was awarded an OBE and subsequently a CBE in 2006. In 2007 Darcey teamed up with Katherine Jenkins to create and perform in the musical Viva La Diva. She created the Magic Ballerina books for young girls in 2008, of which over 1 million copies have been sold.

ABSTRACT: The British choreographer Kenneth MacMillan (1929-1992) has a prominent place in the narrative tradition of the Royal Ballet. As a major storyteller in the history of the company, his ballets with intense, dramatic stories are an important part of the dance heritage of British ballet. This thesis focuses on one of MacMillan’s first narrative achievements, the one-act ballet The Invitation (1960), and studies the main thematic concerns and stylistic strategies that it deploys.
