The physical changes to the body are debilitating, and are matched by the changes we suddenly have to cope with due to changes in our appearance.

20th-Century Masterpieces At The Hippodrome
The celebration for Sir Peter Wright’s 100th birthday continued at the Birmingham Hippodrome last night with 20th-Century Masterpieces, a trio of wonderful short ballets, Frederick Ashton’s Birthday Offering, Kurt Jooss The Green Table, and George Balachine’s Theme and Variation.

Birthday Offering Birthday Offering dates from 1956, and was the perfect start to the evening, with the ballerinas showcased ‘pure and simple’.
