Royal Opera House, Contact with Northern Ballet School - OUGD503

As stated in a previous post I have a contact at the Northern Ballet School in Manchester this was partially why this brief was chosen but also proved to be helpful. I asked Ryan his opinion on the brief and how could ballet be advertised to engage with a new younger audience. He was skeptical of how it could as it is and has been a traditional medium for so long that the existing audience has chosen to attend because of how it is, there is a belief and expectation around the area that people have almost made up their minds whether or not to attend. He also said he would be happy to help in anyway he could, I asked if it would be possible to set up a photoshoot with him to get some reference imagery. He has since replied and said that he would be more than happy to and would try to arrange for more dancers to attend.
