As we enter the New Year, Dancing Times moves into its 100th year. This month we mark our centenary with the first of a series of ten short articles by Mary Clarke, editor emeritus, who looks back at the history of the magazine, decade by decade, before reaching the present day in October. The 40th anniversary of The Place is here featured on page 23 in an article by Ian Palmer, and on page 33 Zoë Anderson investigates how dance is surviving the recession in the first of a two-part series. Anthony Crickmay is one of the world’s finest photographers of dance and dancers and he very kindly agreed to give a rare interview about his illustrious career to Sarah Woodcock, which can be read on page 15.
There are two changes of staff to announce this month. Kate Budgen, company director, has resigned from Dancing Times after more than 20 years service. Kate recently moved to Suffolk, where she subsequently married, and has decided to take a change in career direction and work closer to home. We wish her all the best in her new endeavours. As the new editor of sister magazine Dance Today, we welcome Nicola Rayner from January 4. Nicola joins us from Family History Monthly, where she worked as assistant editor. She has a passionate interest in and a strong commitment to dance, and everyone at Dancing Times looks forward to working with her.
