Beautiful evening stroll around West Dean. Really looking forward to starting my research residency tomorrow. #travellinghistorian #archivelife #archives #dancehistory #edwardjames #phdlife #phd
I got to revisit an old friend today. I found this costume when I was cataloguing the costumes at The Hammond Performing Arts School @the.hammond. It was designed by Oliver Messel for The Royal Ballets production of The Sleeping Beauty in 1946. Once identified the costume was sold to the University of Bristol Theatre Collection where it has been conserved and is now on display. #travellinghistorian #costumehistory #dancehistory #dancehistorian #ballet #ballethistory #royalballet #olivermessel #sleepingbeauty #costumemounting
I love my job some days I get to watch films all day! #phdlife #phd #travellinghistorian #ballethistory #dancehistory #archives
Last day in Paris and I got see the archive and stand on the stage of the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées! So many amazing artists have performed here including The Ballets Russes and Les Ballets 1933. It was here that The Rite of Spring premièred in 1913. #riotattherite #phd #phdlife #researchadventures #researchtrip #travellinghistorian #sacreduprintemps #riteofspring #lesballets1933 #ballethistory #balletsrusses

Perhaps one of the most beautiful Reading Rooms I have ever worked in. #parisopera #archives #archivelife #ballethistory #travellinghistorian #phdlife #phd #researchadventures #researchtrip #palaisgarnier
Quite possibly all-time favourite theatre - The Paris Opera. #researchadventures #researchtrip #phd #phdlife #ballethistory #ballethistorian #travellinghistorian #parisopera
