Talks in May at the SAJM — Richard Glasstone

On 6 May the SAJM in conjunction with the Jacob Gitlin Library hosted a talk by Richard Glasstone MBE. Glasstone, now well into his 80’s was a world-renowned ballet dancer, teacher and author. 

He spoke of his career and life, including his early years in the Belgian Congo, how he came to be aware and fall in love with ballet, and how it went on to influence his life’s journey. This Journey included time as the principal teacher and choreographer at the Turkish State Ballet company, as well as time spent as a member of staff at the Royal Ballet School. Glasstone’s is a life well lived, that he recounted with warmth and engaging anecdotes.
