The elegiac Raven Girl (2013) is Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor’s seventh work for the main stage at Covent Garden, and his most story-led yet. McGregor collaborated with visual artist and award-winning writer Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveller’s Wife, to create a fairytale ballet that looked back to classics such as Swan Lake but was told with a distinctly modern sensibility. McGregor explained, ‘I wanted a story that in some way connected with the ballet stories of the past… and that involves something surreal, something that delves into consciousness’. The result is a unique piece of visual theatre. Niffenegger’s accompanying novella with her aquatint illustrations is published by Jonathan Cape.
McGregor approached acclaimed film composer Gabriel Yared (The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Lives of Others) to create the original score. Yared produced a score for orchestra and electronics that McGregor describes as ‘very filmic but [which] gets right inside your body and really helps with the emotional territory of the work’. Ravi Deepres (Quartett) created the immersive video designs.

Ryo and Beatriz are so beautiful, both as individual dancers and as a couple!!
"Even a little bit shp shp- a bit more chung chung. Direction direction, like that. Shoop Shoop. That drags back nice, a bit like fwachssshhh*pop*: Shhhhhhhhh *clap* *snap* ... Yeah?"
The secret language of dance teachers 😂
This particular video is such a beautiful highlight of Beatrice's virtuosity and the pure elegance of her technique. It also beautifully highlights Wayne's excitement with movements (he bubbles, almost, when he feels something).
And Ryo is a gentleman; a very strong support for all of Beatrice's "flying".
Ryo is so painfully beautiful....
He's not just that, he's also very strong and reliable. Great dancer and partner!
absolutely stunning dancer! but yes GORGGGGG
Amazing. The nuances that are brought about through the interaction of all three is incredible. Real makes it look effortless and you can only tell how much work is involved when they stop and he is short of breath. You forget that he’s actually lifting. Beatrice is such an incredible instrument in communicating what Wayne wants. The originality of the choreography is incredible the lifts from the floor two over the shoulder To the different body positions in the air. All of them are fresh and beautifully executed. Always a fan to see how the creative process works and this was an incredible 20 minutes of communication, execution, creativity, I just beautiful beautiful movement. Well done
I've no idea how they remember all those specific notes.
Absolutely stunning, I love seeing McGregor's work and the dancers are both so beautiful! Their lines are perfection
Of all the amazing modern production vids/promos I've seen on here, this is the ballet I would love to see most I think.
The music is divine. Wish there was a CD I could get
After 2 minutes i was already amazed
I like seeing McGregors work with these dancers. >It is fresh and creativ. Something realy new. Very lifefull in a good atmosphere.
Wish so much I could see this!! And I really love the score.
This is very beautiful and gracefully hard work, made to appear deceptively easy. Thank you 😊🙏🏽
Beatrix is gorgeous!
It's really interesting comparing this rehearsal to the Raven Girl reahearsal that was done with Eric and Sarah
Stunning choreography and Dancing. Bea you are amazing!
Wow wow wow wow wow such a stunning piece of dance, its like flying! I think Wayne McGregor is a genius. Poor ryo though. He was working flat out
saw this last year and loved it! I wished there was a recording of the score.
everything looks so scary and amazing
15:36 "I must go"
we should turn that into a gif
He sounds like filming Star Wars rather than ballet. Shu pum chun whoa shung and chuck?? 😝
This is really nice!!!!
beatriz makes this much , much better than _ she feels the role .
When girls are en pointe, are they on releve or are they on their tippy toes while on the box of their shoes?
+TheGamerGirl1989 When en pointe the toes are pointed, not flexed - so dancers are standing on the tips of their toes.
Why is he always touching her hips for no reason?😂😂
Isabella 99 I’ve been thinking that 💀
Sonnie Duval cringy 😜 He really is “hands on” !
I think its because he was a dancer and partner himself, he keeps automatically trying to support her, its an incredibly physically demanding part for both the male and female dancers
Jealous! They are working, both!
y does he keep putting his hands on her stomach...?
I believe he loves a small waist, the girls have to be very petite because of how many lifts there are in the performance. If you notice every girl who performed Raven Girl has been that skinny with very tiny waists but are very beautiful with clean lines.
I think it is a quick gesture meant to be friendly, like a pat in the back, "you're doing good"
It could be to help with her balance as she lands.
Devan S He touches both of them quite often. A choreographer is much like a painter, and that physical interaction with the tool, such as a brush or dancer, helps give that feeling of control and connection to the piece
He touches her a lot more and gives her far more corrections than the male dancer.
primer like :D
