Ballet Black in Rehearsal – Part 2

Awesome neoclassical ensemble Ballet Black is premiering a new version of Orpheus by William Tuckett at the Linbury Studio Theatre this Wednesday. Having seen the first choreographic stages last November we had the opportunity to catch up with the company a few days ago and take some new shots of rehearsals, see costume fittings and observe how the entire piece comes together. Orpheus was specially commissioned to celebrate Ballet Black’s 10th anniversary:

Ballet Black performs Orpheus and previous hits A New Beginning, Pendulum, Da Gamba & Shift at the Linbury Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House, 9 – 12 February 2011. For tickets & booking visit the ROH website.

We started The Ballet Bag in April 2009 with the mission to prove that ballet is not stuffy, old fashioned and inaccessible; that it is quite the opposite: relevant, fresh and topical. With the aim to Give Ballet a New Spin we try to show it under a different light. When writing our capsule biographies, ballet fact cards, review roundups and commentary on social media, we cross it over with other art forms and cultural references (pop culture, cinema, rock music – ie. other things we love!).
