Or How the Yak Nearly Ruined the Hole in Stacy’s Heart

A Different Dynamic Limited in association with Steve Hughes for Northern Ballet present

Bereft. That’s what we are. The Northern Ballet foyer no longer bristles with the wary fascination of bystanders as Levantes Theatre mixed cupcakes, made paper-chains, flew paper aeroplanes, and scattered confetti into the early gloaming. The car park is no longer fronted by Laura Mugridge’s deep yellow camper van – part performance, part squatter. Tea is no longer served four times a day, nor can one have an exclusive audience with one’s roads-not-travelled six times a day. In short, Mezze’s over and I’m miffed.

On 18 May, Lord Poltimore, Deputy Chairman of Sotheby’s Europe, will auction a series of exclusive prizes for Northern Ballet at Moro, London. We’d like to give you the opportunity to place your bid on any of the prizes in advance, to be considered on the night of the fundraising auction.

You can browse through the very special lots for this auction below and if you wish to place your bid please email Hannah Walker by 12 noon on Monday 16 May.

David Nixon, Martha Leebolt, Tobias Batley and I attended a reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate young people in the performing arts. The event was hosted by HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

We arrived at 5.15 and passed through the main gates, walking across the courtyard and around the inner quadrangle to the main entrance. We followed the red carpet up the staircase and into the Portrait Gallery for champagne and canapes.
