Bromley Buzz

Darren Weale talks with Olivia Trevelyan-Richards and Joshua Webb who play Giselle and Albert in one of two casts presenting the ballet Giselle for the English Youth Ballet at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 28th and 29th August. Two casts, as the pair explain, due to the physical and emotional demands of the intense, dramatic and beautiful production, which has a matinee and evening performance on both days. Tickets here.
 
Olivia and Joshua touch upon their careers to date - from playing wood nymph to Giselle for Olivia, and with years performing in the US for Joshua, and the onstage buzz and energy that they both experience in Giselle. They also describe the special experience of performing and coaching about 100 children over 10 days for each venue. This 'quite rare and special' process takes the production to 7 UK venues and therefore involves over 700 children a year. This clearly means a lot to Olivia and Joshua, and to those who have previously stepped in their ballet shoes for English Youth Theatre.. 
 
We interviewed the Founder and Director of English Youth Ballet, Janet Lewis MBE, in episode 60 of the Bromley Buzz podcast. You can listen to that here.

Darren Weale and Zeenat Noorani time travel to 2026 from 2021 to complete the 300th episode of the Bromley Buzz podcast, released on its 5th anniversary. This show contains the whole first episode of the podcast, then regarded as a Pilot episode before we were so encouraged that the show has been running ever since. Sarah Marsh-Collings is referred to, for it was Sarah who came up with the Bromley Buzz name.
