Dance Night: Dance Ballerina Dance

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Deborah Bull is joined by fellow dancers Adam Cooper and Lynn Seymour in a sequence of movements that traces the changing role of female ballet dancers over the past century. It begins with Bull in the guise of Princess Aurora from Marius Petipa's Sleeping Beauty, and is followed by extracts from Frederick Ashton's Two Pigeons and Kenneth MacMillan's Invitation. Bull concludes the study by portraying the 20th-century woman of William Forsythe's Herman Schmerman.
