Swan Lake Bath Ballet - on BBC i player - 4 **** Something special.

A tiny treat to cheer you up. Corey Baker Dance has created this ballet as part of the BBC Arts Culture in Quarantine - a cast of 27 dancers, several bath tubs and Tchaikovsky assembled allover the glove to help Corey Baker create this funny, inspired and astonishing gem. The dancerts were in baths from New Zealand to South Africa, Hong Kong to Australia and they came from the likes of American Ballet Theatre, the Royal Ballet, Cape Town City Ballet, the Dutch National Ballet, Scottish Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and the Staatsballet Berlin, to list but a few.
It really is a treat, and if you are not cheered up by the time it has finished then I fear nothing could possibly cheer you up.
