'IN CONVERSATION WITH ERINA TAKAHASHI AND JAMES STREETER
Husband and wife James and Erina, First Soloist and Lead Principal of English National Ballet, talk to Gerald Dowler
PLEASE NOTE THE LATER TIME WHICH IS DUE TO THE FILMING SCHEDULE AT ENB CHANGING
The LBC’s terrific line-up of guests for our In Conversation evenings on Zoom continues next Wednesday, 30th September at 8.00pm with Erina Takahashi, Lead Principal of English National Ballet, and her husband James Streeter, First Soloist of English National Ballet.
Both James and Erina trained at the ENB School. Erina has danced with ENB for 24 years, 20 of them as a Principal. James is, perhaps, best known for his character roles and as Albrecht in Akram Khan’s Giselle. Together, they led the ground-breaking performance of Dust (also by Akram Khan) on The Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. The links to their biographies on the ENB website are below.
In addition:
Erina has recently won the Arts and Culture category of the Asian Women of Achievement Awards. The ceremony was on the 28th September; and
only last week, as part ENB’s new Dance Leaders of the Future Programme, James produced the highly successful 2020 Emerging Dancer event, which was live-streamed on Tuesday from the Production Studio in the company’s City Island headquarters.

Gerald Dowler, the dance writer and critic who has often interviewed for the LBC, will be the host in what promises to be an illuminating conversation.
