Black Swan

Mixed feelings about his film, but I watched from start to finish, on TV, without floating to sleep.  Just noting it down today - will say more later.

Very much the dark side of the ballet world.

Ballet Cymru - Under Milk Wood

At Stamford.  Lovely performance and characterisations.   The backdrops and the music were excellent, the dances conveyed the humour and sadness, and Gwyn Vaughan Jones as the narrator was very impressive.

I had doubts about a ballet interpretation of this work before we went, but none whatsoever once it had started.


Music: Thomas Hewitt Jones
Choreography: Darius James
Costume Design: Yvonne Greenleaf
First Voice: Gwyn Vaughan Jones
Paintings for projections: Jeremy Thomas
