Never saw this one, I think—from the TBYML recording sessions, shared by @pjharveydaily on Twitter:

A documentary is to go behind the scenes of Sadler’s Wells’ inaugural Rose International Dance Prize.

Narrated by Fiona Shaw, the film is to follow four of the shortlisted choreographers from rehearsal to performance as they vie for glory at the first Rose Prize ceremony, which has been billed as the Olivier Awards of dance.

Christos Papadopoulos, who won the competition in February, alongside fellow nominees Kyle Abraham, Marco da Silva Ferreira and Lia Rodrigues, will delve into their “ambitions” and discuss the importance of the new prize for the intentional dance ecosystem. Between them, the choreographers hail from the US, Greece, Brazil and Portugal.

The camera will also follow the judging panel, which includes Arlene Phillips and musician PJ Harvey, as they watch the performances and deliberate ahead of the ceremony, which was held in February.

Entitled Inside the Rose International Dance Prize 2025, the documentary will be available to stream worldwide from May 8 via global arts streaming service Marquee TV.

Polly was 19 then and played sax and guitar, her big brother drove the bus and looked after the little one... Not always successful.

looked for a bit more automatic dlamini stuff after seeing the reddit thread

Memories of the service desert: Incidentally, in 1989 we were on tour with the British band Automatic Dlamini, which featured a 19-year-old saxophonist/guitarist named Polly, who would become world famous three years later under the name PJ Harvey. The poor thing was a vegetarian and had to make do with potatoes and mixed vegetables. The food on tour was sometimes abysmal, and the youth clubs had never heard of catering.
