This is the second anniversary of the formation of Powerhouse Ballet and we have invited a very special guest to help us celebrate. Sarah Kundi will be our guest at the "Stage Door" at 3pm this Sunday.
Sarah began her career with Northern Ballet in Leeds where she has many fans. They continued to follow her when she joined Ballet Black. They packed the Stanley and Audrey Burton Theatre whenever Ballet Black performed in Leeds. It was while she was with Ballet Black that she first came to the London critics' notice. She was nominated for the National Dance Awards and featured as the "Dancer of the Month" in the Dancing Times. She did some of her best work with Ballet Black including Depouillage which is one of my favourite clips on YouTube. After a short spell with MurleyDance which brought her back to Leeds, Sarah joined the English National Ballet in 2014. She has been cast in some important roles such as Madge in La Sylphide, Myrtha in Akram Khan's Giselle and my particular favourite Hortensia in Wheeldon's Cinderella in the round at the Albert Hall.
Sarah's chosen charity as the English National Ballet and we ask you to dig deep as the company has a special link with our region. It gave its first performance at the Opera House in Manchester. Dame Beryl Grey herself told me about the company's affection for Manchester when I met her over drinks at the London Ballet Circle's anniversary reception in 2016.
If you want to speak to Sarah you need to register here before 3pm on Sunday.
As we have had problems with Zoom in the past we have a backup plan if Zoom plays up again. Google Meet is a similar platform which can be set up very quickly. If we have not let you by 3 pm check this website and your email for joining instructions.
Have a great weekend. See you all on Sunday,
