DATE: Sunday 19 January 2025
TIME: 2.00 - 4.30pm 🇬🇧
VENUE : Royal Ballet Upper School, 46 Floral St, London WC2E 9DA
INTERVIEWER : V&A Dance Curator Jane Pritchard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our TEA AND TUTUS event will be in two parts.
The first part consists of a talk from two ballet costume makers, Meri Makipentti and Stephanie Woodage. They will bring finished and unfinished tutus, character costumes and tunics, jewellery and hairpieces, and discuss aspects of all these.
The talk will be hosted by Jane Pritchard who is the Curator of Dance at the V&A museum, and a world renowned dance historian and archivist. Jane will give a short history of the tutu.
Following the talk, the LBC are delighted to invite attendees to enjoy a social with drinks and nibbles in the studio next door. The social is supported by two gifts from members expressly for the enjoyment of the membership, by way of a bequest and a donation in memory of a former member. We are very grateful to the members who have generously donated to us in this way.
We do hope you will join us.
