Shakespeare Triple Bill

This is my review of Shakespeare Triple Bill by Birmingham Royal Ballet in june 2016 for my silver Arts Award.

Shakespeare Triple Bill

What was the title of the exhibition/show?

Birmingham Royal Ballet Shakespeare Triple Bill.

Why did you choose to attend this exhibition/show?

I chose to attend this show because it was originally going to be my first experience of going to see a ballet, but in the meantime I had been to see Matthew Bourne's sleeping beauty as a present. Also because it was a way of learning more about shakespeare in the year of celebrating the anniversary of Shakespeare's death. I also chose this show because it would give me 3 presentations of ballet in one show.

Who were the artists and what do they create?

The artists were the Birmingham Royal Ballet and accompanying musicians.

"Wink" was performed by Birmingham Royal Ballet. The music was by Jakub Ciupinski. The choreography was by Jessica Lang. The sets were by Mimi Lien. The costumes were by Elaine Garlick and Suzanne Parkinson. The lighting was by Peter Teigen.
