News: San Francisco Ballet back in London

Friday 14 September 2012 by Sarah Kearney

Artistic director and principal choreographer of the San Francisco Ballet, Helgi Tomasson, talks to Neil Norman about being in charge of the company for 27 years.

“I have always thought of it as a laboratory for dance,” says Tomasson of the company. “People have to be here for a passion. I am looking for quality of movement and the presentation. Maybe I am a dictator in that I like to make every aspect, including lighting and design, the best that it can be. But I am also thinking: ‘What can we do that is new?’”

Closure of Londondance.com

After 18 years of sharing information and promoting dialogue on what is happening in dance across the capital, Londondance.com is closing.

The decision to close the website was announced in summer 2019 and no new content has been published since then.

In response to an ongoing dialogue with the dance community, Sadler’s Wells is finalising arrangements for material hosted on the site to be archived, so that it may be publicly preserved as a resource. Until a permanent archive is created, Londondance.com remains online; it will not close on 5 February 2020 at 23:59 GMT as previously stated.

More information here. Thank you for having been a part of Londondance.com.
