With a mixture of interviews and live rehearsal with dancers of The Royal Ballet, discover all there is to know ahead of its world premiere
Tickets for The Dante Project are still available: www.roh.org.uk...
I love the way Wayne directs the rehearsal and communicates with the dancers. Rather than making demands he asks questions and is open for a dialogue with the artists, giving them autonomy in the process of creation. It’s wonderful to see this kindness and consideration from an artist I admire deeply. Inspiring in action and output.
Fantastic seeing more of Edward Watson. wonderful presentation.
The technique and strength required for this is insane. It's incredible
Loved seeing this on opening night. Hopefully try see it again but it was such an honour and blessing to see it. Love Wayne McGregor so much 🥰🥰
THESE ARTISTS ARE SO TALENTED. MY GOODNESS, I HOPE THEY ALWAYS KNOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED.
I love how good of friends they a seem to be!!! Those good vibes plus great dancing = ❤️❤️
Whoa, another great work by Wayne. i feel truly grateful to be able to see such masterful people (and brava dancers!) bring out such wonderful and awe inspiring performances! Thank you ♥
Wow! I would really really LOVE to see this ballet!!!
I saw the Dante Project in Paris in May and am waiting for the tickets to go on sale for the Royal Ballet so I can see it this November. Fabulous.
OMG the choreography is so beautiful that I couldn't stop crying while watching it!
Can't wait for this so excited,loved Woolf Works! And great to see Edward Watson before he retires from the company. 😍😍💃🌈💓
This looks amazing - Personally I prefer contemporary ballet. I remember one of the sections in Wolf Works made me cry - it was so moving
I love it!! 😍😍😍😍
Wayne MC Gregor tu es un génie de chorégraphe,!! Toutes mes félicitations aux danseurs, et au pianiste !!
Now repeat after me everybody! Wa dey da way, ba dam, ba dam, shammm jak, phwwwwt, sha, *pop*!
😂😂😂😂😂
Everything/everyone is amazing!! I’m just old school and really prefer the classics.
Same here. Can't beat a good classical ballet, I can appreciate the more modern ones but I just really cant get into them
I understand your feeling and I tend that way myself but I would encourage anyone to view the Paris Opera Ballet in, say, "Sylvia" by John Neumeier th-cam.com/video/Sm2DjBxQjb8/w-d-xo.html
In fact, anything by John Neumeier is good (his "La Dame aux Camélias"). Try also the following: Akram Khan's "Giselle"; José Martinez "Les Enfants du Paradis"; Roland Petit - "Coppelia" and "Le Jeune Homme et la Mort"; works by Angelin Prejocaj, Ilia Jivoy, Valentino Zucchetti, Carolyn Carlson, Crystal Pite, Cathy Marsden, and recently deceased contemporary choreographers such as Pina Bausch and Maurice Béjart. Also other companies such as the Dutch National Ballet. There's lots to explore!
Wayme McGregor you're my hero in life ;)
Can't wait to see this! Sad the stream has now been postponed; will be waiting in anticipation for the new date. Thanks for this filmed insight.
do you know why the stream was postponed?
@@catherinetranfield7726 No, I don't. The email I got just said "Unfortunately, due to a scheduling change, we have had to postpone this stream to December, with a new date to be announced."
Wayne calling Sarah “lammy” is so cute ☺️
To all the 'i prefer the classics' people, please realise that Swan Lake had the same impact on its premiere as it does now. Classics can (not always) become instant classics.
McGregors Woolf Works is such a piece for me - just 👌
How can you persuade people who very much do not prefer the classics to watch the classics?
classical ballet is classical ballet, although waynes work is great, it will never replace the older ballets
@@bubbybets9336 You know that when ballets like "Swan Lake", "Giselle", "Sleeping Beauty" and "Romeo and Juliet" premiered *other ballets* premiered at the same time. They didn't exist by themselves. BUT the vast majority of those ballets are forgotten. In that exact same way this ballet and its contemporaries will go through the same process. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"," In the Middle Somewhat Elevated"and this ballet may well be some of the very few that are remembered.
They will JOIN those well remembered and loved ballets - not replace them.
😍😍😍😍😍 I Love Sarah Lamb, 😎👍🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
JYA EH JAIYA EH! GOT IT
Hi from Melbourne
3:29 begins the program.
❤️
How are modern/contemporary ballets similar to this one notated?
Does anyone know what stage/room this was in?
Lynbury theatre at ROH. It’s a beautiful room, like the inside of a box of chocolates.
Todo está muy oscuro. Vestimentas negras, el piano negro, pared derecha negra, pared frontal azul oscuro e iluminación de baja intensidad. No puedo apreciar el video.
I do not know if Mr McGregor ever danced classically, but I cringe whenever I hear that he has choreographed another work. Maybe he created this so that we can see Mr Watson on stage once again, which is always a pleasure.
Well I will just be blunt. Why are ballet companies insisting on doing these quircky modern ballets which are not really based on ballet technique? You are forcing these dancers to do very contorted movements which were never intended to be seen in ballet? Why? Cause its ugly. Here we have a premier ballet company that has marvelous dancers and their bodies are being abused by doing these contortions and really ugly movements. I dont find it edgy, I dont find it pleasing to the eye. If Petipa saw this now he would probably scream STOP. Ballet is meant to be beautiful, pleasing to the eye and create a lovely sense of excitement and beauty of lines. I have tried appreciating this stuff but to no avail. There is some modern stuff i like , for instance some of Balanchines, or MacMillians, but honestly the rest seems pretentious . I also think it encourages injuries and shortens the career of dancers. There is nothing more beautiful then Sleeping Beauty or Giselle. This is what ballet was meant to be. I dont want it to be modern,I want it to be ballet with all its splendor and beauty of music, costumes, lines and athleticism, Plie please.
Ballet companies have to evolve though years to survive, sometimes is good to revisit classics but sometimes is good to see something new. We just can get stuck what we learn when we study, we have to be more open minded to different possibilities and opportunities and Wayne McGregor has been doing his style for the Royal Ballet for the last 20 years and has had many successful ballets that had help to defined the company to this century.
Also, I think ballet dancers are more likely to get injured with classics than contemporary choreography due to more relaxed movements and in classic there's a extrict discipline and perfection to follow.
No one writes classical music scores anymore so I think that is a big part of it. To me... not that I know anything about ballet... much of this only seems quirky when you hear the music.
They do it because everything evolves and broadens and that's what keeps art moving. Ask these dancers and I'll bet they'll tell you they love having it in their repertoire.
Thank you!
There are some modern choreographers that create beautiful or interesting works.
Wheeldon, Ratmansky for example.
Hearing 'Dante' repeatedly pronounced w/ a short 'a' is like fingernails on a blackboard.
Appreciate the hard work of the dancers but this is painful to watch
Why?
I’m sorry, but I have such a hard time with appreciating this genre of dance. I also wonder how many injuries happen doing all these strange contortions.
She has no bust at all....too weird !!!!!!!!!!!!!
