Now there is an Antony Tudor site, meaning that English ballet choreographers are decently represented on the web. The one figure about whom I would like to produce a website is de Valois. It would be an act of pietas, as she and I grew up only ten miles from each other, albeit worlds, generations and identities apart. There is no blue plaque, as there should be, at Baltyboys House where she was born. I suspect, if I were ever to create a site that it would be less about ballet than about that world from which she sprang, her connections with Yeats and the Abbey Theatre etc.....
(all of which said, I think my next project might not be about dance, but about ethics in Irish public life).
