Judith Mackrell

Wonderful project by PBS which takes a deep dive into women's experiences of WW2. Very happy to have been able to tell the stories of some of my six war correspondents from #GoingWithTheBoys #TheCorrespondents @wwiiuntoldstories

Chapeau to @balletboyz for celebrating their 25th anniversary in such high style at @sadlers_wells . They have commissioned such a great rep over the years; wonderful to see old classics, by @russellmaliphantdancecompany @j.defrutos and @wheeldony and to discover new work by @xiexindancetheatre - a marvel of fluency, suspension and gorgeous mystery
