In one of the castings of Ballet Cymru's Romeo a Juliet, Maria Brunello, Miguel Fernandes and Andrea Battaggia played the parts of (respectively) Benvolio, Mercutio and Romeo. Using a passage of choreography from the street scence at the beginning of Act One as the starting point, the dancers extended the sequence through improvisation, remaining 'in character' and finding new poses and arrangements of figures which we could then explore more carefully.
