Hello lovelies! Emma here, back from another whirlwind trip through time! September is a month I've always loved. It marks the start of the new ballet season, the air feels crisper, and of course, it’s the perfect time to wear all your most vibrant pink hues. Speaking of which, this month has been particularly dazzling – think fluffy pink tutus with extra sparkle and feather trims!
As always, Magic Meg and I decided to delve into a particularly vibrant chapter in ballet history. We journeyed back to 2034, a time where technology has revolutionized ballet and the global community was coming together to celebrate the art in a truly beautiful way. And of course, pink was EVERYWHERE!
A World of Ballet, a World of Pink:
We landed in London first, the air thick with excitement for the opening of the brand new Royal Opera House's 'Interactive Ballet Experience'. It was a breathtaking, state-of-the-art digital space, where virtual dancers moved seamlessly alongside real ballerinas on stage. We were enchanted! It felt like the most magical ballet show we’d ever seen. Afterwards, we strolled down the iconic Covent Garden streets, soaking in the energy and buzzing atmosphere. Everyone was sporting some shade of pink, from the flamboyant feather boas to the delicate pink satin ribbons adorning ballerinas’ buns. It was like a fairytale brought to life!
But we didn't stay in London too long. We needed to experience the global ballet community, and Magic Meg and I took flight again.
From Tokyo's Neon Lights to the Parisian Lights
Next stop was Tokyo! The city's neon lights glimmered in every shade of pink imaginable. The Japan Ballet Theatre were holding an incredible fusion performance - classical ballet meets traditional Japanese Kabuki. Imagine vibrant colours, elegant gestures, and dazzling costumes, all culminating in a show of sheer energy. My rucksack filled up with gorgeous silk ribbons and exquisite costume swatches - a perfect touch of the exotic!
And of course, a visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without indulging in a little ballet fashion. I was particularly smitten with the latest 'Tutu Collection' from Chanel. We had lunch at the enchanting Café de Flore, watching the world go by. A delightful mix of students, tourists and local fashionistas filled the café, creating a beautifully chaotic atmosphere.
Back in Derbyshire, Ready for My Next Adventure!
The past few weeks have been a kaleidoscope of exciting experiences. Seeing ballet evolve, merge with technology, and become even more captivating – it was a real treat for my inner ballerina. As I always say, ballet transcends time and location, connecting hearts and souls with each performance.
Remember, lovelies, a little pink never hurts, and don't forget to let your tutu-loving spirit soar!
