Dancing Times Magazine February 2013 Edizione posteriore

In this month’s Dancing Times, we talk to two international choreographers about the new works they are about to present with UK ballet companies – David Bintley and Alexei Ratmansky. Bintley discusses the ideas behind his full-length Aladdin for Birmingham Royal Ballet with David Mead on page 14; whilst Ratmansky talks candidly to Zoë Anderson on page 33 about his one-act work for The Royal Ballet, as well as his career in Russia, Denmark and the US. Kevin Berry takes a behind-the-scenes look at Northern Ballet Academy on page 38, and on page 25 we introduce a new column, What If.., in which Gerald Dowler wonders what if there were no Marius Petipa? In addition, we have the usual array of news, reviews and opinions, and on page 7 you can find out how you can win tickets to see Aladdin at the London Coliseum in March. Happy reading!
