EVENTS FOR FAMILIES SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY Backstage at the Ballet: Photographs by Colin Jones 12.00–4.00pm, The North Wall Gallery Colin Jones, one of Britain’s top photojournalists, began his creative career dancing for the Royal Ballet. This exhibition will focus on the photographs he took of his fellow dancers backstage in the 1950s and ‘60s as well as images taken later in his career. The photographs show not just the emotional intensity and beauty of ballet but also reveal the sustained physical exertion and discipline of a dancer’s life, providing a fascinating glimpse of the world of British ballet from the late 1950s to the turn of the century.
