Julie Lincoln, a Brit from Sussex, is here with me to set all of the ballets on the program. Julie and I have worked together before at ABT when she came to set Romeo and Juliet. This was my first round of R and J, in which I learned a townsperson and Benvolio. It had been about 3 or 4 years since I had seen her, which is about 15 in the ‘real’ world… but we picked up right where we left off. She is full of life, has amazing British humor, and makes all of the dancers feel very comfortable during the process. Julie had a very long and successful career with the Royal Ballet in London and went on to set MacMillian ballets all throughout the world… spending a lot of time here in Tokyo.
Here she rehearses Les Sylphides…. the first ballet on the program.

Great! these are the pics I like the most! Interesting that in the first one you can see the ballerina behind the teacher doing an arabesque and her reflection on both mirrors, that’s beautiful!
Keep’em coming, David!
