Kenneth MacMillan created the one-act ballet Quartet for Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet which premiered on 2.3.1982 at Sadler's Wells Theatre, London. The ballet consisted of a pas de deux entitled Verdi Variations, which MacMillan choreographed early in 1982 for Peter Schaufuss and Elisabetta Terabust to the first movement of Verdi's music, and a new second movement for four dancers. MacMillan subsequently revised the choreography of the first movement and added a third movement. This version premiered on 7 Apr1982 at The Bristol Hippodrome, Bristol, UK. The material comprises: one first night telegram to Deborah Williams (MacMillan) and Kenneth MacMillan from Peter (Wright), 2 Mar 1982

MacMillan, KennethThe RAD Heritage archive dates from 1921- the first year of the Association’s operations and these early records include notes and reports for the earliest AGM’s as well as some examinations correspondence and certificates signed by all the original members of the committee from the very first examinations sessions on 9 and 10 May, 1921.
The 1920s was a period of intense activity including development of both the Major and Children’s examination syllabi; the first public performances by members of the Association, the purchase of our first premises; the introduction of the first scholarships; the first overseas examinations and our first Royal Patron. This period was well documented in the Dancing Times but is supported by some early original documents in the archive.
In the 1930s activities continued to expand and the introduction of the Gazette in November 1930 meant that much was documented and is available in published form. Archive material from this period is concentrated on the setting up of a Grand Council, petitioning for a Royal Charter and establishing the byelaws.
From then on, the main records series and types of records preserved in the archive are:
- Premises & Buildings
- Minutes from various committees and sub-committee meetings
- Annual reports and associated documents
- Examinations syllabi material (publications)
- Syllabus development material
- Artistic projects files
- Programmes from special events, awards and performances
- Teacher training programme course materials & brochures
- Photographs & video footage
- Overseas development
- Regional activities
