Edward Watson and Wendy Whelan on Whelan/Watson: Other Stories (The Royal Ballet)

Principal Dancer for The Royal Ballet Edward Watson and Dancer Wendy Whelan on their latest collaboration Whelan/Watson: Other Stories. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/...
Wendy Whelan and Edward Watson are two leading lights of the ballet world. Whelan is admired for her elegant movement and intelligent approach, while Watson has won acclaim for his breathtaking physicality and the intensity he brings to dramatic roles. Each has inspired the work of a host of contemporary choreographers, and dance together for the first time in this unique collaboration.
The programme features three duets: First and Wait by Javier De Frutos, The Song We Share by Danièle Desnoyers and The Ballad of Mack and Ginny by Arthur Pita. Puncuating the programme are two solos: Arlene Phillips choreographs Dance Me to the End of Love on Watson and Annie-B Parson Short Ride Out on Whelan. Jean-Marc Puissant creates the designs.

What a brilliant pairing of dancers! I so wish I could have seen one of the performances of this project. It hurts my heart to know that they will never dance ballet together.

Two superb artists and ambassadors for the art form

I'm no tango expert, but seems her movements should be a little sharper, quicker. Just my humble opinion.
