Updating the Wiki page for Ballet Ireland COI edit request: update leadership titles and add sourced production history

Hello, I am the Marketing & Communications Manager at Ballet Ireland (disclosure on my user page per WP:PAID). The article has not been substantively updated since early 2021, so I am proposing the following changes with independent sourcing wherever possible. I'm happy to adjust anything reviewers feel is promotional in tone. Request 1 — Correct leadership titles in the infobox and body Change "Director: Anne Maher" to "Artistic Director: Anne Maher" and "Company manager: Martin Lindinger" to "General Manager: Martin Lindinger", reflecting current titles. Request 2 — Add production history: Morgann Runacre-Temple residency Proposed addition to the repertoire/history section: British choreographer Morgann Runacre-Temple was choreographer-in-residence at Ballet Ireland from 2009 to 2015, creating five full-length ballets for the company, including Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet and Carmen. Her Romeo and Juliet, which premiered in 2010 and relocated the story to a modern-day secondary school as a play within a play, was described by The Irish Times as the company's "finest full-length production to date". The production was restaged for a national tour in 2012. Runacre-Temple has since created works for companies including Scottish Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and English National Ballet, and her Coppélia for Scottish Ballet won Best Classical Choreography at the 2023 Critics' Circle National Dance Awards. Request 3 — Add the 2021 reimagined Nutcracker Proposed addition: In 2021, Ballet Ireland commissioned Runacre-Temple to create a new one-act, Irish-themed version of The Nutcracker, with a Tchaikovsky-based score arranged by composer Tom Lane. Request 4 — Structure (optional, at reviewer's discretion) The article is currently a single block of text. If a reviewing editor agrees, the existing content plus the additions above could be organised under "History", "Productions" and "Education and outreach" headings. I defer entirely to editors on this. Thank you for reviewing. I can supply further independent sources on request.

Thank you for the review and for implementing the approved changes — much appreciated, and the reasoning on the declined item is understood. Re. note 2: Understood on the template limitation. As an alternative, would a sentence in the article body be acceptable? Proposed: "Martin Lindinger is the company's general manager." Re. note 4: Happy to clarify — the production was staged and has been revived since. Proposed revised text: In 2021, Ballet Ireland premiered Nutcracker Sweeties, a one-act production of The Nutcracker choreographed by Runacre-Temple, with a reimagined Tchaikovsky score featuring additional music and sound design by Tom Lane. The production returned in an extended version in 2022 and toured nationally to 11 venues in 2024. Thank you again for your time.

== COI edit request: correct Arts Council funding date range == Hello again — one further correction, with thanks for the previous reviews. The article currently states: "[PASTE THE EXACT SENTENCE FROM THE LIVE ARTICLE]". This implies Arts Council funding ended in 2003; in fact the company has been funded annually since 1999 and remains funded today. Proposed replacement: "The company has received annual funding from the Arts Council of Ireland since 1999, and as of [YEAR] is funded under the Council's Strategic Funding programme." A 2013 report also documents funding during the intervening period: the Arts Council awarded Ballet Ireland €240,000 in annual funding for the period to March 2014. This mid-period source may be included or omitted at the reviewer's discretion. Thank you. AGdiPierro (talk) 09:41, 13 July 2026 (UTC) AGdiPierro (talk) 09:41, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
