Video: David Bintley's E=mc² diary

David Bintley, Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, is creating a new piece as part of the Company's 2009 autumn season, entitled E=mc².

He will be keeping a video diary over the coming weeks, charting the progress of the piece, which opens in Birmingham, UK, on 23 september.

Here you can see the first entries, with the most recent here at the top of the page.

'...extremely tense.'

'There will be problems but hopefully we can get over those quickly and smoothly.'

'It was my birthday yesterday.'

'All the time I'm trying to get back to this pure idea that I have of a piece, before I've actually started the dirty work of putting the steps in there.'

'I've never worked in this way before'

'I have to not get panicked by the fact that there isn't that much time'

'These movements are so big and so different that it's like four different ballets'

'I'm particularly excited, and particularly terrifed about this piece'
