We have a new season of live audio described performances across 2024-2025 at the Royal Ballet and Opera. Dates to announced soon. As part of the developing Access project the team have been exploring the incorporation of Audio Description in promotional videos. Linked to this post is a YouTube video featuring a 23 second season launch trailer with Audio Description placed over the soundtrack. This is just an initial step, as we move to more integrated processes in collaboration with our Audio Describers and artists. As someone who trained as an Audio Describer, it’s such an insightful process to explore audio description inclusion across new functions and teams. It opens rich conversations about what is useful information, what is assumed and how biases can quickly surface but also be challenged. A small movement forward, but hopefully the start of laying the foundations for long lasting Accessibility. #RoyalBalletOpera #Access #AudioDescription YouTube thumbnail ID. A dancer lifts another, small in perspective against a cosmic iris like circle that fills the backdrop of the stage. The words imagination, inspiration and experience appear, centred with the words 'audio described' placed in the top right corner.

"Have you ever wondered at what point a collection transforms into a masterpiece of art? Take a look at this interesting article discussing when a collection becomes a work of art. "When does a collection become a work of art? Before answering this question, take a moment to imagine a ballet troupe. Each of the dancers are brilliant, their skills honed, every step of their next performance practiced to perfection. Yet, it's not until they step out onto the stage, leaping and pirouetting under the spotlight, accompanied by vibrant music that their performance can finally be considered a work of art,..." https://lnkd.in/dg2sqtUf

Creative Brilliance Challenge of the Day. GEOGRAPHY – LAKE. This challenge is designed to shake things up. Take an intense, dramatic scene from your work in progress and drop it into a beautiful, peaceful lakeside village. The drastic dichotomy of the dialog and action against such calm surroundings will give the scene a new, powerful dynamic you may not have imagined before. Imagine classical ballet music in the background of a brutal military combat scene. That’s what I suggest you explore. How does it feel? Does the scene work? #CreativeBrilliance #CreativeThinking #MindfulnessWriting #CreativeWriting

Helping leaders who ASPIRE to INSPIRE! Be at ease in the spotlight, be an influential communicator, elevate engagement for all your audiences, in all environments. Training|Coaching|Masterclasses| Keynotes
FIX IT! The scene: 1989, The Point Theatre, Dublin, opening night of The Bolshoi Ballet, Giselle, Act II. A much- awaited production. A packed auditorium. Prima ballerina, Nina Ananiashvili is in the role of Giselle. She takes her position to begin her famous duet with her beloved Prince Albrecht, where she will dance with him until dawn to save him from the death spell of Myrtha, Queen of the Spirits. Up she rises onto her pointes. The conductor raises his baton. We, the audience are hushed and reverent in anticipation. But wait! As soon as the music begins, ‘Giselle’ drops down off her pointe shoes, strides downstage, hisses a command in the ear of the conductor, and snaps her fingers signifying “Too slow.” “Get on with it!” As we hold our breath and watch in disbelief, she strides back to her spot, springs up onto her pointes, and gives a sharp nod to the conductor. We’re away! A Prima Ballerina dared to break the spell of a great Romantic ballet with a legendary company. She knew the music tempo was much too slow to support the energy and feats of elevation required of her in the moments ahead. She wanted to create the best performance for the audience. A radical but calculated decision that paid off. Our shock was momentary, our ultimate experience was enthralling. And the moral of the story? When leading DARE TO STOP. As a leader, it’s your job to own your authority and create a conducive environment for maximum engagement. Is the meeting off to a bad start? Is the agenda getting derailed? Are the objectives unclear? Is the team distracted, anxious? Dare to STOP. Lead a collective pause for breath. Take a moment. Step back. Re-set or revise course. By Daring to STOP you are role modelling best practice and enabling your own and everyone’s best performance. #leadership #presence #influence #impact #performance #stop #meetings #environments #breathingspace

Very rarely has a story left me as emotional as this one has. As Aun Koh rightly puts it, Choo-San Goh was an incredible talent and left an indelible mark on the dance world, both on the home front and on the global stage. It shames me that I have danced in the Singapore Ballet's studio dedicated to him, but was not aware of the extent of his legacy—which is why I loved speaking to Janek Schergen, who describes his relationship with Goh as 'beyond the boundaries of friends'. Reading official biographies of Goh will reveal very little about his passing due to AIDS complications. In the US, at least, the 1980s and 1990s was a terrible time for many queer communities ravaged by the AIDS epidemic (let's be clear: HIV/AIDS can infect anyone, but at the time, it was largely spread among at-risk communities, including queer ones). You can imagine, of course, the double stigma of homophobia and illness that many faced, and unfortunately, Goh's life and memory was swept up by this historical moment. Today, with the antiretroviral therapy and pre- and post-exposure medication, HIV/AIDS is no longer a death sentence, but stigma still persists—which is why I volunteer with Action for AIDS Singapore (AfA Singapore) whenever I can to educate and destigmatise. And it is not just a pleasure, but an honour, to tell the stories of legends who came before us, and whose memory it is crucial to keep in our hearts.
This is a fantastic story written by a wonderfully talented young writer that unfortunately is leaving Tatler Asia soon to pursue their education at Yale University. Ethan Kan has done a great job here in reminding all of us of the legacy of Goh Choo-San, the brilliant choreographer who passed away far too young, and at the height of his career. The Singapore Ballet, started by Goh's sister and now overseen by Janek Schergen, has been keeping Goh's legacy alive and has the honour of opening a festival at the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts celebrating Asian choreographers in June this year. It is so important that we know who came before us, opened doors, and smashed barriers. As is often said, these people walked so we can run. In Goh's case, he did more than walk, he soared.

To resist change is to deny the essence of our existence, for growth itself is a testament to our ability to adapt to the currents of time. The dance of adaptation is an intricate choreography performed by everyone as we navigate the currents of change. In this global ballet, the refusal to adapt becomes a solemn dirge, a fading melody drowned out by the relentless march of progress. "Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative." - H. G. Wells Follow me for more on #leadership and #change : https://lnkd.in/eY6HNeir
