Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Hofesh Shechter presents his highly anticipated new work Political Mother -- his first full evening creation for his internationally acclaimed company since the worldwide success of In your rooms / Uprising. Commissioned by Sadler's Wells & Brighton Festival, Political Mother brims with Shechter's gritty and emotional complexity. Ten dancers of the Hofesh Shechter Company present an ever more surreal chain of encounters, leading to a series of shocking, amusing and touching events, which challenge our notion of what is 'normal'.

French choreographer Xavier Le Roy defies categorisation as a dance-maker, drawing on diverse influences from the worlds of science, performance art and contemporary dance. In Self Unfinished (1998), Le Roy takes the audience on a journey of metamorphosis as he transforms into an extraordinary hybrid creature part machine, part alien, part human. Employing all manner of physical devices, Le Roy creates a world of illusion that is as unsettling as it is transfixing.

Two of the world's most eminent dance makers come together to perform this stunning collaborative work which sets out to create a dialogue between flamenco and contemporary dance. Dunas was inspired by the undulating landscape of sand dunes and is performed to live music composed by Szymon Brzóska and Rubén Lebaniegos. Powerfully hinting at the roots of both artists, the music and choreography unite the fiery passion of Pagés' classically structured flamenco with Cherkaoui's modern and culturally eclectic style.

There are bits and pieces about on You Tube of this famed 1955 NBC television broadcast of the Royal Ballet's 'The Sleeping Beauty'. But I thought it would be good to have it here in its entirety, even though the quality is not the very best. Although originally broadcast in colour, only a black and white version was preserved. What I particularly love about this performance, apart from Dame Margot Fonteyn's unmatched Princess Aurora, is Sir Frederick Ashton's uncompromisingly malevolent Carabosse. Very very scary in fact. By the way, his heavy facial make-up is curiously reminiscent, for me, of the Elephant Man! And there is Dame Beryl Grey, lovely as as The Lilac Fairy, and Alexander Grant as one of the Ivans. The cast includes: Princess Aurora - Dame Margot Fonteyn Prince Florimund - Michael Somes Lilac Fairy - Dame Beryl Grey Carabosse - Sir Frederick Ashton Cantalabutte - Leslie Edwards The Queen - Gerd Larsen The King - Bryan Ashbridge The Bluebird - Brian Shaw Princess Florine - Rowena Jackson Four Princes - John Hart, John Field, David Blair and Desmond Doyle Florestan and his two sisters - Philip Chatfield, Rosemary Lindsay, Pauline Clayden Puss in Boots - Douglas Steuart / White Cat - Dorothea Zaymes Three Ivans - Alexander Grant, Peter Clegg and Ray Powell I'd be very grateful if people could help identify the other dancers in principal roles.

A segment of 'Danses Concertantes' (1955) which was the first ballet commissioned from Sir Kenneth McMillan by for the Sadlers Wells Theatre Ballet ... by Ninette de Valois. The main dancers are Annette Page and Donald McLeary. Music: Igor Stravinsky Designer: Nicholas Georgiadis The talking heads are Sir Kenneth McMillan and Clement Crisp (ballet critic, 'Financial Times') McMillan interestingly talks about trying to match what he saw as the jazzy, spiky, off-beat quality of Stravinsky's music in choreography - by, among other things, breaking up the lines of the body.

The Blue Bird pas be deux danced by Sandra Madgwick and David Yow of the Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet in 1984 and Melinda Palmer of Auckland was made as a 'Promo' for the TV Series Dance Tales Story Ballets which had received enormous success and box office in Auckland's major venues. Dance Tales came in third after Rugby and Cricket and introduced classical ballet to a main stream audience for many years. It is the only 'industrial' project I have undertaken and was incredibly difficult to make, hence only one series. I recall that once in USA an ABC children's buyer asked me seriously if it were to be animated as USA children only did cartoons. The promo was made to show the BBC the quality of all aspects of production. NZTV did the excellent camera work . Elizabeth Jenkins the costumes and Carl Doye the music. This YouTube is for archiving purposes. I own the copyright for all artists. Tape is nearly obsolete and this will disappear unless it is archived publicly. It is a record of the time when TV companies were adventurous and let a woman have a go.
