A glorious evening at Pacific Quay last night - I sneaked on to the final five minutes of Radio 4's Front Row to talk about Soviet ballet and Yuri Grigorovich's complex legacy. You can listen here:

It's been a busy 18 months while I've been on research leave, with many hours clocked up in front of a screen. My second book was published by Routledge in August - it was a real labour of love, and I'm so grateful to the artists who gave their time to talk to me:
