You've probably answered this lots before, but: do you have a fairly clear hierarchy of favourites among the Royal Ballet principals? And your favourite role or two for each? :-) Also: of the recent retirees, who would you most like to see guesting?

Also a) thank you so much for obtaining the info that it'll be Nela and Ball for that "Winter's Tale" stream! Partner and I have got our tickets booked to see it at the Cineworld in Aberdeen. <3 It's the ballet that got me properly back into ballet, when I watched it during lockdown, and just: yay. :-)

And b) your blog has just been so lovely and helpful in growing my ballet knowledge! And your gifs are superb, and your Matthew Ball love is validating. :D

Also also: do you have any favourites among the Scottish Ballet dancers? I was lucky enough to see "Cinders" on tour, and I was so impressed with both Bruno Micchiardi (as Cinders) and Jessica Fyfe (as Princess Louise), but I am no expert.

I think someone asked me for a ranking of all the principals some time ago, but I can't even find the post anymore; I don't mind one bit answering this again! <3

If I have to talk strictly about my faves, it goes like this:

Nunez (eheh!): if have to narrow down her most iconic roles I have to give you at least three (please bear with me, I'm doing my best), which are O/O, Kitri and Aurora.

Takada: Titania and O/O. I'm just so very sorry that she's been more injured than not lately. I miss her.

Hayward: Juliet and any Ashton role I can think of (rhapsody, enigma variations, those bits of Titania we got, etc.). I also think she makes one of the best Claras out there.

Kaneko: O/O (saw her live in the BS pdd and the White Adagio with Vadim and it was life changing, bye). Also her Gypsy girl in the two pigeons is iconic. Special mention for her Aurora.

Lamb: Manon. Signature role. Was born to play it. I also really love her Mary Vetsera and her Aurora.

I'm a bit uncertain if I should include Anna Rose or not...sometimes I really love her, but overall I'd like her to be more consistent. But I'll say she was born to play Juliet.

Muntagirov: he's more versatile than people give him credit for, and really has the whole package, but I'd say his best roles are Siegfried and De Grieux.

Ball: he's such an outstanding actor that it's hard to choose, but I'm going with Romeo and Albrecht.

Bracewell: another wonderful Romeo right here, and I was blown away by his Hamlet in the Ashton insights.

Mcrae: Oberon and Rudolph for sure.

Sambè: sorry to repeat myself but we have another great Romeo right here. From what I've seen he makes also a great Colas.

As for retirees, the one that I really wish was still performing is Roberta Marquez, though maybe she isn't exactly a recent one. Out of the most recent ones I only miss Federico Bonelli because he always brought something special to his performances, although I have to say that the struggles and limitations that come with age were very visible in the last couple of years (his Siegfried variation in the SL cinema relay with Takada comes to mind).

As for the winter's tale I'm really happy to see someone who appreciates it as much as I do! I think it's a truly lovely ballet, one of the few modern classics that really stuck with me. You're very welcome for the info and I hope you'll have a great time at the theatre...unfortunately I found out that it won't be streamed in my country, so I'm going to miss out on it 😤

Thanks for all your lovely compliments they're more appreciated than I can say! 😭🩵🙏

Scottish Ballet is one of those companies that I wish had more footage available, because bits I do get to see are really impressive. I'm kind of familiar with Constance Devernay, Bethany kingsley-garner and Andrew Peasgood because I've seen them in the recordings of The Fairy's Kiss and The Snow Queen, and I seriously enjoyed those performances!

I wish there was a full recording of Cinders because both the trailer and the rehearsal look amazing! Jessica Fyfe is a really delicate and expressive dancer from the clips I've seen of her, and both her and Micchiardi impressed me in the rehearsal poste on YT, cause the intentions and mannerisms in their dancing were so clear: I immediately caught up on the reversal of Cinders gender and that she was the princess even though I hadn't read about the novelty introduced by this production beforehand, but everything was immediately clear thanks to their attention to detail.

The little I've seen from this company makes me wish for more!

Cumpleaños 🎂

Ben Kingsley cumple 80 años

Ben Kingsley nació el 31 de diciembre de 1943 en Scarborough, Yorkshire, Inglaterra, Reino Unido, mide 173 cm.

Krishna Bhanji nació en Scarborough, Yorkshire y creció en Pendlebury, Salford, donde estudió en el Pendleton College, lo que ahora es el Ben Kingsley Theatre.

Su padre, Harji Bhanji, fue un doctor de origen hindú del pueblo Guyaratí, y su madre, Anna Lyna Mary, fue una modelo y actriz de ascendencia judía.

Kingsley empezó su carrera en el Manchester Grammar School junto a Robert Powell. Aunque fue tentado por el cine, empezó en el mundo teatral como el papel de "Mosca" de la adaptación que Peter Hall hizo en 1977 de la obra de Ben Jonson Volpone para el Royal National Theatre.

Esta interpretación hizo que Kingsley comenzara a tener un nombre dentro de la interpretación británica, destacando por su sutil estilo de interpretación en numerosas producciones de teatro shakesperianas.

La primera aparición de Kingsley fue un pequeño papel en "El miedo es la clave" (1972). A partir de aquí, deja el mundo del cine hasta que Richard Attenborough lo escoge para hacer el papel de Mahatma Gandhi en la película "Gandhi", una interpretación que le valdría el Óscar como mejor actor en 1982.

A partir de ese momento, a Kingsley le cayeron las ofertas y el actor británico escogió entre los roles más inverosímiles.

Sus registros van desde Maurice, "Bugsy", "Los fisgones", "En busca de Bobby Fischer", "La lista de Schindler", "La muerte y la doncella".

Las actuaciones más recordadas y representativas de su talento son como el contador judío Itzhak Stern en "La lista de Schindler" y la de un ex-coronel iraní Massoud Amir Behrani en el film de suspense "Casa de arena y niebla" junto a Jennifer Connelly.

En general, las sólidas caracterizaciones de Kingsley son de personajes que tienen una estructura de valores rígida versus una situación que se desarrolla que desafía la integridad de su carácter. En 2000, Kingsley recibió el título de Sir de la Orden del Imperio Británico.

Spider Quinn 08: The Three Misfits - Part 1

08 The Three Misfits

It was early evening at Lawndale High. Principal Angela Li was working late. There was a knock at her door. “Come in.”

The Vice Principal, Anthony DeMartino, entered. “Here’s a Preliminary report on the school this term.”

“Very good, Anthony,” Angela said.

“You’ll note that there are three students who are reclusive and not reaching their potential.”

Angela looked at the report. “Only three?” she asked.

“Yes. Despite their recent bereavement, both Morgendorffers are doing well academically.”

“I see that too, although both still don’t have extracurriculars after the dissolution of the Fashion Club.”

“I see you’re thinking,” Anthony said.

“Maybe Quinn could help those three.”

“Not Daria?”

“Daria is still, reticent, about participation in school outside of academics, whereas Quinn wants to continue such participation even after the Fashion Club was disbanded. That was due to something to do with Ms. Griffin.”

Anthony nodded. “Quinn it is then, but how?”

“Let me consider that.”

“Good.”

Lawndale Sun-Herald

Tuesday December 15, 1999

SpiderGirl averts another drug deal

It looked to be an ordinary day at Lawndale High School. Quinn Morgendorffer certainly thought so as she pulled on her usual clothes over her SpiderGirl suit. She had then emerged into a corridor. ‘Now, where are Stacy and Tori?’ she wondered. She started looking for them.

Elsewhere, three different students arrived at the school. Anna Coultard looked around for her friend, who she usually met as she arrived at the school. ‘Where are you?’ she asked herself as she usually did. However, she quickly found him near the door, and dashed over to him. “Ben!”

“Hi Anna,” he said.

“How are you today?”

“Oh! The usual,” Ben Harrod answered.

Anna knew what that meant. That his hypochondria was acting up. “What is it now?” she asked.

“I think I have the flu.”

“It just the winter.”

“It’s not just the sniffles. There’s fever too,” Ben said.

Anna placed her hand on Ben’s forehead. “Feels normal to me,” she said.

“Oh!”

“Come on, you don’t want to be late to homeroom, again.”

“Of course not!”

Elsewhere in the school, Gerald Brown got to his locker. He breathed a sigh of relief. No one had tried to talk to him. He preferred it that way. He opened the locker. “Gerald!” someone called.

‘Oh no!’ he thought. He made himself scarce.

Jenna Kingsley looked for Gerald again. She was sure he was there a few moments earlier. He hadn’t come to the Anime Club for a while. She wanted to ask whether he wanted to remain a member. “Another time,” she said to herself as the bell for homeroom rang.

The school day proceeded as it usually did for each teacher and student.

DeMartino tried and failed to teach Kevin Thompson rudimentary about the historical importance of the Great Depression and Daria Morgendorffer snarked to Jane Lane about it.

Sandi Griffin ignored a play O’Neill was trying to teach the class as she continued to plot revenge against Quinn and SpiderGirl for humiliating her.

There was one unusual event at the end of the school day…

“Quinn Morgendorffer, please report to the Principal’s Office.”

Quinn tensed up. It could be anything. From another death in the family, to one of Li’s cameras outing her as SpiderGirl, despite her avoiding them.

“Quinn?” Stacy Rowe asked.

“I’m fine, Stacy. It’s just that it could be anything,” Quinn responded.

“I can come with you,” Stacy offered.

“Sure,” Quinn said.

Quinn knocked on the office door.

“Come in,” Li said.

Quinn entered. “You called, Ms. Li?”

“Yes. I know you still haven’t got any extracurricular activities after the end of the Fashion Club.”

“I guess I haven’t been looking, what with Christmas coming up and all.”

“Yes. Mrs. Manson is available,” Li said. She shook her head. “But that isn’t why I called you in.”

Christmas. That was going to be difficult. But Quinn put it out of mind. “So, why?”

“Most of the students of this school are reaching their potential…” The Principal started.

But Quinn interrupted. “You want me to tutor Kevin?”

“Let me finish, Ms. Morgendorffer!”

“Sorry.”

“Apology accepted. That’s something your sister might do, after the holidays. Anyway, there are three misfit students you may be able to help,” the Principal then handed a page over.

Quinn read it. “Anna Coultard… Has a reputation for being weird. That she does.”

“Yes. Whatever the truth is. She isn’t reaching her potential. There are two others.”

“Ben Harrod. A hypochondriac. This hypochondria prevents him from interacting with most of his peers due to his fear of germs. Ugh. Probably still thinks girls have cooties.”

“That’s inaccurate. He is friends with Anna,” the Principal interjected.

“I guess,” Quinn said. “And the last one. Gerald Brown. A loner. I guess like Daria would be if she hadn’t met Jane.”

“Maybe,” the Principal said.

“So, you want me to help these people?” Quinn asked. “How?”

“Encouraging to join in. With each other at first. We’ll see how it goes.”

“I’ll do it!” Quinn said.

“Very good, Ms. Morgendorffer.”

“Do they know someone is going to help them?” Quinn asked.

“Not yet. I wanted to ask you first.”

“Right.”

“I will call them in first period tomorrow,” Li said.

“How did it go?” Stacy asked when Quinn emerged from the Principal’s office.”

“There’s no bad news,” Quinn answered.

“So, what was it?” Stacy asked.

“She wants me to help three misfits fit in.”

“Including me?”

“I don’t think you’re a misfit, Stacy,” Quinn said in a reassuring tone.

Stacy breathed a sigh of relief.

“Come, Tori is meeting us at the Pizza place,” Quinn said.

“Sure,” Stacy asked.

“Wait. Who are these misfits?” Stacy asked as they left the school grounds.

“Gerald Brown, Ben Herrod and Anna Coulter,” Quinn answered. “Wait?”

“Coultard?” Stacy supplied.

“That’s it.”

“That’s my neighbor.”

“I knew I had heard that name before,” Quinn said.

“She hasn’t fit in since Kindergarten,” Stacy said quietly.

“Oh,” Quinn said.

“There were many times when I tried to befriend her.”

“Really?”

Stacy nodded. “But it seems that she’s shy.”

“That doesn’t make her weird,” Quinn pointed out.

“Not by itself,” Stacy added. “There are other things too.”

“Such as?”

“Um…”

Quinn could tell Stacy wasn’t really sure, that she couldn’t put her finger on it, so she let it be. “Don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll find out quickly.”

Stacy relaxed.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the Pizza place.

Tori greeted them as they entered as she had been busy through the school day. “What did Ms. Li want?” she asked.

Quinn filled her in on about the three misfits.

“Oh, Anna. I heard that she’s into New Age stuff,” Tori said.

“That could be weird, but that’s what my parents were into, when they were younger,” Quinn said, her voice trailing off.

“Really?” Tori asked.

“They were hippies in college,” Quinn answered quietly.

“Sorry for bringing that up,” Tori said, as they came up to the counter.

“You couldn’t have known,” Quinn said. “What about the other two?”

“Ben gets freaked out by anything, not just insects. Animals and birds, some plants too,” Tori said.

“I see,” Stacy said.

“But Gerald, I haven’t heard much about him,” Tori said.

“That’s fine,” Quinn said.

As they waited for their pies, Quinn noticed Daria sitting by herself at a nearby booth, reading a book. ‘Isn’t Jane usually here with her?’ she wondered. She went over. “Daria?”

“Quinn?” Daria asked, with slight concern on the face. “Did the Principal have bad news?”

“She didn’t,” Quinn answered.

“So, what did she call you in for?”

“Join us and I’ll tell you?”

“Quinn?”

“I know you’re lonely, and that Jane isn’t here.”

“Sure.”

Tori saw Daria sit across from her. “Hi, Daria.”

“Hi,” she said.

“Tori.”

“Right. So, Quinn?”

Quinn then filled in her sister about the Principal and the three misfits.

“I see. I have heard about Anna, but not the other two,” Daria said.

“Right,” Quinn said. “Why isn’t Jane here?”

“She’s working on some art with her mother. Something she rarely gets to do.”

“Mrs. Lane is rarely home,” Tori said.

“Oh.”

The quartet talk for a while as they eat their pizzas, although Daria was the quietest.

What they didn’t realise was that Sandi was also at the Pizza place. She was also wondering why the Principal had called her into her office. “What is going on?” she wondered to herself. She had also seen Daria sit with the other three. ‘Of course she acknowledges that weird girl is her sister,’ she thought. She ate her Pizza in silence before stalking out of the store.

Quinn left the Pizza place ahead of the other three and changed to SpiderGirl behind some bushes. She then swung away from the strip mall where the Pizza place was towards Dega Street, where she was sure criminals were hanging out.

Stacy saw SpiderGirl swinging away as she left the Pizza place. “Oh!” she commented. “Where is she going?”

SpiderGirl saw some people scatter as she swung into Dega Street from Second Street. She swung down in front of one of them. “Hello!”

“SpiderGirl! I didn’t do anything!” a blonde girl said.

“Then why did you run?”

“There have been rumors going around school about you.”

“Really?” SpiderGirl asked. She could think of one source right off the bat.

“Yes,” the girl answered, looking away. “That you’re taking out your frustrations on the people of Lawndale.”

“Well. I’m not,” SpiderGirl retorted. “If I’m frustrated, it’s that people are getting murdered and the police are unable to do anything about it.”

“Oh. But I’m sure that they are doing something. Whether it’s enough is another thing.”

“I’m sure they aren’t.”

“I guess,” the girl said.

“Right. Be safe,” SpiderGirl said as she shot a webline.

“Wait!”

“What? I have to keep patrolling.”

“Could you take me somewhere?” the girl asked.

“Why?” SpiderGirl asked with curiosity.

“I’m running a little late,” the girl admitted.

“Sure. But where?”

“A friend’s place. It’s not far.”

“Hang on to me then,” SpiderGirl directed.

The girl nodded and threw her hands around the superhero.

SpiderGirl found it different than when she had done it with Brittany Taylor two weeks earlier and not not just because it was in the daytime. The girl was silent, whereas Brittany had chatted with her a little.

“Here we are,” SpiderGirl said, when they had reached their destination, a relatively small house in one of Lawndale’s older subdivisions four blocks away.

“Thanks,” the girl said,

“You’re welcome,” SpiderGirl said. “But what is your name?”

“I guess I know you’re SpiderGirl,” the girl murmered.

“Yes,” SpiderGirl said impatiently.

“You can call me Feli,” the girl said with a smile. “It’s short for Felicia.”

“Thanks,” SpiderGirl said in a cheerful tone, before swinging away.

‘Weird,’ SpiderGirl commented as she headed back towards the downtown, keeping an eye on the streets below on the way.

It was just after sunset when SpiderGirl arrived back at the red brick house in Glen Oaks Lane. She saw that her mother and sister were home. She still wasn’t sure what to make of that girl.
