Bluffing Your Way in Ballet (Stage, 2023)
Pirouetting a fast-paced and irreverent way through the history of this most dynamic of performing arts.
Bluffing Your Way In Ballet pirouettes its witty and irreverent way through the history of Ballet.
Brought to you by the fabulous Seizing The Day Company, you'll hear funny and moving stories from Ballet's leading performers:
- Louis XIV of France who helped create 'the five positions of the feet'
- Vaslav Nijinsky who beguiled audiences with his unbelievable mastery – those leaps!
- Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev with their perfect dance partnership
- Strictly Come Dancing's Dame Darcey Bussell who brings Ballet and dance to new and larger audiences
- And more!
Previously performed at the Alma Theatre, Bristol and The Mission Theatre, Bath.
"This wonderful group of performers led by the effervescent Alexandra Pickford. Bluffing Your Way In Ballet amused and delighted. There were moments of absurdity, beauty and true pathos.”
