Abigail Prudames has been a part of Northern Ballet since 2011 when she became an Apprentice, fresh from her training with the Royal Ballet and Elmhurst Ballet School. Since then she has risen through the ranks, to become an exemplary Premier Dancer alongside her long-time dancer partner Joseph Taylor.
A much-loved member of the Company, Abigail has been integral in creating some of the most iconic Northern Ballet roles such as David Nixon CBE’s Mermaid and Cathy Marston’s Victoria. She has also danced Juliet, Daisy in The Great Gatsby, Jane in Jane Eyre and many more besides.
“Her natural talent and studious approach to embodying complex emotions on stage have garnered her a reputation that reaches far beyond our walls and will be sorely missed. Though it is always sad to see any dancing career reach its finale I am excited to see what the future holds for Abby and wish her all the best.”
Artistic Director Federico Bonelli
Abigail’s final performance as Juliet in Romeo & Juliet will be at Sadler’s Wells on Saturday 1 June, 7.30pm.
