Hosted by the well-known dance writer Graham Watts, who will set the scene and look to the future, we will pay homage to our longevity by grouping the many decades of the LBC into three symbolic ‘eras’. The distinguished panellists who will reminisce with us will be:
Post War to the 1960s: Henry Danton and Dame Merle Park
The 1970s/80s/90s: Wayne Eagling and Dame Darcey Bussell
The 21st Century: Viviana Durante and Brandon Lawrence
We will also have a filmed message from our Patron, Sir Peter Wright and a live comment from our President, Dame Monica Mason.
Some short videos will illustrate works from each period and, joining us on film to share what the LBC represents for them, will be two Members who were previous Chairs – Allison Potts and Robin Key – and our current Membership Secretary, Sylvia Villa who is a ‘younger generation’ Member.
