Shuan Ley talks to the artistic director and lead principal of the English National Ballet, Tamara Rojo. Can she triumph over tradition?

HARDtalk is at London's Barbican Theatre to speak to the artistic director and lead principal of the English National Ballet, Tamara Rojo. Her new production, a ballet about one of the bloodiest conflicts in the 20th century, is part of an attempt to modernise what is often a rather conservative repertoire in ballet. She'd like to do the same with training and technique too, but with some of the stars arguing that ballet should be tough and a new generation of dancers who have gone through a demanding training in Japan and China beginning to flourish, can Tamara Rojo triumph over tradition?
