WELCOME It is my great pleasure to welcome you to White Lodge for The Royal Ballet School Summer Performances. This has been an extraordinary and unforgettable year of challenge and adaptation for The Royal Ballet School. Today’s performance is a tribute to the resilience and creativity shown by our students and staff throughout that time. Seeing their determination to succeed, separated from each other for so much of the year and unable to train or teach in the studios they love, has been a powerful inspiration. I am delighted that following the sadness of cancelled performances in 2020, we finally have the chance to come together to celebrate their work. I wanted our students to enjoy dancing in front of an audience again, and the best way to do this was to give them as many chances to perform on stage as possible. The School’s teams have, with spectacular effort, put together nine different programmes over 32 performances. Each of the eight year groups will have the chance to dance in their own dedicated performances, culminating in a final collective, socially distanced, performance at the Royal Opera House. I am proud to say that the dedication and hard work of our remarkable community of dancers and teachers mean we can continue to call the School one of the very best in the world. Across this season, dancers of all ages are performing a range of work that shows off the skills they have learnt through their training. Each year the School is fortunate to work with and perform pieces from renowned choreographers and rehearsal directors in preparation for our Summer Performances. We are hugely grateful this year for choreography, direction and kind permissions from: Deborah MacMillan, Peter Wright, Carlos Acosta, Kevin O’Hare, Jiří Kylián, Paul Murphy, Ashley Page, Didy Veldman, Julie Lincoln, Morgann Runacre-Temple, Carmen Thomas, Michael Nunn, Billy Trevitt, Anthony Russell-Roberts, Mikaela Polley, Valentino Zucchetti, Mark Annear, Justine Berry, Matt Nicholson, Denis Bonner, Ben Stevenson, Dawn Scannell and many more. This year, in which collaboration has been so vital, I would like to highlight the invaluable support of the Royal Opera House staff and its superlative orchestra. As always, I wish to convey my gratitude to our Chairman, Christopher Rodrigues CBE, the Board of Governors, our hard-working volunteers and of course our remarkable sponsors whose generosity is the reason we are able to be here today. An extra special thank you to creative agency Imagination for sponsoring our performances and for their continued support of the School. I hope you enjoy and appreciate our students’ much longed-for return to the stage. CHRISTOPHER POWNEY Artistic Director
