Ghost dances. Existence of ghosts by prabu sparks. Yes, those were distinctly "challenging". Really not the sort of thing to be subjecting ballet-starved audiences in smaller regional theatres to - certainly not in the early years. I'm not sure who else has rights to it apart from Rambert at the moment. As you say, it really is a shame, because it's part of the syllabus and yet it seems impossible to see it performed live anywhere. I think that ENB or Rambert may be missing a trick.
Still Life at the Penguin cafe is also on the syllabus and when it was performed by BRB at Sadler's Wells as part of a triple bill a couple of years ago the theatre was pretty much full, with several groups of teenagers in the audience and not just girls , which is unusual for a mixed bill of ballet at the Wells.
I saw it many times with the original cast who were truly breath-taking. I was at the Saturday matinee, not on the front row, and I will never forget that performance.
The production was televised with the original cast by, I think, Channel 4 and, most unusually for me, I found it just as powerful on the tv. It was filmed in a studio, rather than a filmed performance. I did see at least one other cast with ENB that included Simon Cooper, who really grew into this role during his Rambert years.
I saw many permutations of Rambert casts over the years it was performed. There is one that, for me, matched the original cast - Thomasin Gulgec prisoner with Alex Whitley and Eryck Brahmania. His arrival as AD came just after I had discovered "ballet watching" and it is only as I look back over the past 30 years that I realise just how lucky I was to be watching the company then with its wonderful roster of dancers and such an amazing rep. Just to remind readers, I had started watching contemporary dance in the mids and I did not start enjoying watching ballet until Because of this I thought I had died and gone to heaven when Peter Schaufuss brought Christopher Bruce in as an Associate choreographer.
I think being on the small screen maybe even improved it - and there are very few dance pieces you can say that about. I think because it was so claustrophobic it suited the screen well. And yes, I'm pretty sure it was Channel 4 it was on. Yes, Alison - Silence is I tried to paste it but it would not do.
So please go to www. I remember taking my nearly 13 year old daughter to see Swansong performed by Rambert company - it was the Thomasin Gulgec, Alexander Whitley and Eryck Brahmania cast.
The power and beauty of the piece - and the quality of those special dancers - remains etched inside me. The Triple Bill DVD was immediately added to her birthday list and Rambert became her no 1 school of choice for dance training. She wrote about how profoundly this piece had affected her when she applied for a place there.
For anyone interested, Christopher Bruce is working with the 3rd year Rambert students this term to create brand new work for the school - this will be part of their spring performances, which take place on Monday 23rd-Friday 27th March.
