Sky diving ‘ballet
It’s labelled a sky diving ballet. Though ballet doesn’t really come into it, it is rather amazing and satisfies my geeky side!

Graham Spicer, aka ‘Gramilano’, is a writer, director and photographer based in Milan. He was a regular columnist for Opera Now magazine and wrote for the BBC until transferring to Italy. His articles have appeared in various publications from Woman’s Weekly to Gay Times, and he wrote the Danza in Italia column for Dancing Times magazine. Graham was the historical advisor on Codice Carla, the 2023 documentary on Italian ballerina Carla Fracci.
Graham also works as a dance photographer, and his photos have appeared in many books, theatre programmes, and magazines, including Dancing Times, Dance Spirit and Ballet2000, as well as all the major Italian newspapers.
He is a member of the Dance Section of The Critics’ Circle.
I talked to Mariko Sasaki and Giacomo Rovero about preparing to dance The Sugar Plum Fairy and The Prince in The Royal Ballet’s The Nutcracker.
Graham Spicer sees Paquita at La Scala – a tribute to choreographer Pierre Lacotte, who died in 2023, but it was Nicoletta Manni’s night.
Matthew Paluch sees R.O.S.E by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar – I appreciate Eyal’s movement language, but it didn’t go anywhere new or exploratory.
Georgina Butler sees La Fille mal gardée with Marianela Nuñez (youthful lyricism) and Vadim Muntagirov (bravura dancing) who together are radiant.
Graham Watts sees a triple bill from the Paul Taylor Dance Company, including one of the best pieces of pure modern dance of the last half-century.
New York City Ballet has announced that Miriam Miller has been promoted to Principal Dancer.
