Today I have the immense privilege of speaking with Riley Lapham. Riley started dancing early in her home town of Wollongong, and by age 14, she had joined the Australian Ballet School. But from here, Riley's journey takes twists and turns. In her graduation year, Riley missed her final performance due to injury. But in a Center Stage-like moment, the then artistic director David McAllister offered her a contract with the company.In this brave and vulnerable conversation, Riley and I talk about what it's like to join a company while injured, and what it was like to deal with the worldwide shutdown that occurred in 2020 as a junior member of the company. Riley also speaks about a topic she's not yet discussed publicly—her journey with long Covid—what it was like to contract Covid just as she was nominated for Telstra Ballet Dancer of the Year, and then the unexpected journey of not getting better. We talk about the grief and the devastation that followed the acceptance of a slow recovery, her decision to move to France, and the journey back to the stage with the Australian Ballet.Riley continues to train and work with the Australian Ballet's rehabilitation team, while gaining her strength to make a return to the stage. To continue to follow all of Riley's wonderful adventures, you can find her on Instagram at @rileylapham.

The novelization of Vengeance on Varos was published two years behind schedule, meaning that book number 106, which was skipped in the Target Doctor Who novelization release order in 1986, is belatedly plugged in -- immediately after the previous two novelizations were both assigned number 127. Got that? This week's Doctor Who Literature guest is David Barsky. David and Jason have lots of TV and international travel to discuss. And, occasionally, Vengeance on Varos, a controversial story and a novelization tending towards the... verbose. Sound clips in this episode include: --The 1969 Encyclopedia Britannica short film adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"; --A Season 3 "Simpsons" riff also on "The Lottery"; --"Family Guy", like David Barsky, did not care for The Godfather; --The venerable U.S. game show "The Price is Right", which has been on the air since, like, 1911, has memorable sound bites here and here. Not heard in the episode, but highly recommended, is both the trailer for and the movie LOCK-UP (1989), starring Sylvester Stallone (not McCoy), the late Donald Sutherland, and the late John Amos (whose death was announced the day this episode was recorded).

Today we're am speaking with the magnificent Amy Harris, Principal Dancer with the Australian Ballet. Amy, grew up in the small town of Ararat in rural Victoria, and along with her two sisters, learnt tap, ballet and jazz at her local hall. From there it was the dream run—at 15, Amy was accepted into the Australian Ballet School, before being offered a contract with the Australian Ballet Company on graduation—by the newly appointed director David McAllister no less. For many aspiring dancers, it was the dream run. But from here, Amy's journey changed speeds. In this beautifully candid interview Amy talks about the highs and the lows of her career, about body confidence, becoming pregnant, her mid-year interviews with David McAllister, and ultimately coming to terms with not being made a principal dancer—until magically, 17 years later and newly pregnant with her second child, she was.Amy continues to perform as a Principal Artist with the Australian Ballet, all the while juggling life with her husband Senior Artist Jarryd Madden and their two cherished children Willow and Phoenix.

Krieg in der Ukraine und in Israel: Die Außenpolitik der EU ist vielleicht wichtiger denn je. Etliche Fragen der Zeit lassen sich längst nicht mehr nur national lösen. Ein Anlass also, mit einem Mitglied des Europäischen Parlaments zu reden. David McAllister ist nicht nur ehemaliger niedersächsischer Ministerpräsident, sondern aktueller Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für äußere Angelegenheiten der Europäischen Union. Mit ihm sprechen wir über die EU in aktuellen Krisen. Wie einig präsentiert sich die EU in Fragen wie dem Nahostkonflikt und dem Ukrainekrieg? Ist eine gemeinsame europäische Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik überhaupt realistisch? Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, was die EU hemmt. Wie viel Einfluss haben Ungarn oder Slowakei, die oft eine oppositionelle Gruppe in der EU bilden. Ist in der Hinsicht eine EU-Erweiterung durch mögliche Neumitglieder wie Georgien trotzdem mehr Chance als Risiko, die EU noch mehr zu hemmen? Zum Schluss fragen wir McAllister nach seiner Vision Europas? Wo muss es hin, um weiterhin erfolgreich zu sein? Ist perspektivisch ein europäischer Bundesstaat die beste Möglichkeit, um die Union weiterzuentwickeln?

Als sich die sechs Gründerstaaten 1957 im EWG-Vertrag versprachen, „einen immer engeren Zusammenschluss der europäischen Völker zu schaffen“, standen sie mitten im Kalten Krieg. Nach dessen Ende bekräftigten die unterdessen auf zwölf Staaten angewachsene EG dieses Versprechen im Maastrichter Vertrag, mit dem sie 1993 die Europäische Union gründeten. 30 Jahre später prägen der Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine und der wachsende Einfluss Chinas, der anhaltende Migrationsdruck, der Klimawandel und die unvermindert hohen Staatsschulden der Mitgliedstaaten die Politik in Brüssel und den europäischen Hauptstädten. Dennoch wird heute das Versprechen der Gründer von EWG und EU zuweilen infrage gestellt. Droht der EU also eine Rückabwicklung trotz hohen politischen, wirtschaftlichen, ökologischen und militärischen Drucks von außen? Aber auch von innen wächst der Druck: Die einen wollen mehr europäische Integration und Autonomie, während die anderen mehr nationale Selbständigkeit und nur ein politisches Zweckbündnis auf europäischer Ebene anstreben. Was ist aus dem Maastrichter Vertrag geworden und wohin wird uns die Zeitenwende in Europa führen?

Today I'm speaking with David Hallberg. We actually started this season with David McAllister who had just stepped down as Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. We are now speaking with David Hallberg, the brand new Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. David was born in a small American town called Rapid City in South Dakota. He started dancing at nine years old, after seeing Fred Astaire on the television. And he only started ballet when he was 13. But by 17, he was selected to do a year at the Paris Opera Ballet School before joining his dream company, ABT, the American Ballet Theatre.He rose swiftly through the ranks, to principal within four years. And then he was the first American to ever be asked to be a principal with the Bolshoi Ballet, the Russian juggernaut that had previously only accepted Russian trained dancers. In this wonderfully engaging interview, David talks about his love of dance, growing up in America, and the moment he was first named as a principal. But David also shares some of his darker moments. He talks about bullying, and the injury that crippled him for over two years, before finally returning to the stage and becoming the new Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. When we spoke, David had just announced that due to Covid the Australian Ballet won't be performing for the remainder of 2021.For the latest in all things dance, head to fjordreview.com and follow us on Instagram at @fjordreview Host @byclaudialawson

Today I'm speaking with David Hallberg. We actually started this season with David McAllister who had just stepped down as Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. We are now speaking with David Hallberg, the brand new Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. David was born in a small American town called Rapid City in South Dakota. He started dancing at nine years old, after seeing Fred Astaire on the television. And he only started ballet when he was 13. But by 17, he was selected to do a year at the Paris Opera Ballet School before joining his dream company, ABT, the American Ballet Theatre.He rose swiftly through the ranks, to principal within four years. And then he was the first American to ever be asked to be a principal with the Bolshoi Ballet, the Russian juggernaut that had previously only accepted Russian trained dancers. In this wonderfully engaging interview, David talks about his love of dance, growing up in America, and the moment he was first named as a principal. But David also shares some of his darker moments. He talks about bullying, and the injury that crippled him for over two years, before finally returning to the stage and becoming the new Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet. When we spoke, David had just announced that due to Covid the Australian Ballet won't be performing for the remainder of 2021.This episode is sponsored by MDM Dancewear.  Listeners are offered a 10% discount code on MDM Dancewear, for a limited time. For the latest in all things dance, head to fjordreview.com and follow us on Instagram at @fjordreview

A Body's Language

On the first episode of the second season of 'A Body's Language' we speak to David McAllister. This episode was recorded late last year, in Davids final week as director of The Australian Ballet Company.David shares stories about his dancing days with The  Australian Ballet, working with the likes of Nureyev and Glen Tetley, speaks about pieces of music still make him feel sick with nerves and provides great insights into his philosophies on directorship- reflecting on how The Australian Ballet chose to prioritize the mental health of their dancers during the pandemic while maintaining their world leading physical healthcare program.A graduate of The Australian Ballet School, Perth-born David McAllister began his training with Evelyn Hodgkinson and joined The Australian Ballet in 1983. He was promoted to senior artist in 1986 and to principal artist in January 1989.During his time with the company, he danced many principal roles, including those in The Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Coppélia, Manon, La Sylphide, John Cranko's Onegin and Romeo and Juliet, and Jiří Kylián's Stepping Stones; in 1985 he won Bronze at the Fifth International Ballet Competition in Moscow.Throughout his career, David made numerous guest appearances worldwide, dancing with Bolshoi Ballet, the Kirov Ballet, the Georgian State Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Singapore Dance Theatre and, in 1992, as part of a Royal Gala performance in London in the presence of the Princess of Wales. In 2000, he completed a Graduate Diploma in Arts and Entertainment Management and in 2001, took his final bow as a dancer after a performance of Albrecht in Giselle at the Sydney Opera House, partnering Miranda Coney. In July of that year, David became artistic director of The Australian Ballet. He was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2004 Australia Day Honours List.Over the next two decades, on his way to becoming The Australian Ballet's longest-serving artistic director, David invigorated the company's repertoire with a series of new commissions from the world's foremost choreographers, including Alexei Ratmansky, Graeme Murphy and Wayne McGregor. He appointed two new resident choreographers, Tim Harbour and Alice Topp, and, through co-productions with leading international companies, secured major works such as Christopher Wheeldon's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland© and Yuri Possokhov's Anna Karenina. As a director/choreographer, he gifted the company with a lavish and widely acclaimed new production of The Sleeping Beauty, funded largely through donations from philanthropic supporters, and three works in the Storytime Ballet series, made especially for young children.Since stepping down as director in January of 2021, David has created a new 'Swan Lake' for Finnish National Ballet, is currently staging Lucas Jervies 'Spartacus', created for The Australian Ballet in 2018 and is in high demand as a guest teacher and choreographer in Australia and abroad.

David McAllister is probably the most well-known face of dance in Australia. He was born in Perth and he was accepted into the Australian Ballet School as a 17-year-old. He graduated and joined the company directly, wowing crowds across the globe. His final performance was in “Giselle” in 2001. And then, three months later, he was named Artistic Director of that same company.During his tenure, he led the company from strength to strength, staging brand new works, touring the company around the world and inspiring a new level of technical brilliance. But he also created a company with meaning—setting up groundbreaking maternity leave policies and health and wellness policies, so that dancers could have careers much longer than they could have ever have dreamed.In 2020, after 20 years as artistic director and four decades with the company, he announced his retirement. It was going to be a year of celebrations, but then Covid—the company closed down last March and they only made it on stage for three performances. David is currently in Helsinki, Finland, where he called me, but he's on his next adventure, staging the Finnish National Ballet's 100th anniversary performance of “Swan Lake.” David speaks candidly about his retirement, what Covid meant for him and the Australian Ballet, and his big regret while he was at the Australian Ballet.This episode of Talking Pointes is sponsored by @ecodancersFor the latest in all things dance, head to fjordreview.com and follow us on Instagram at @fjordreview
