Nigel Godrich webchat – post your questions now!

The Ultraísta member and Radiohead producer will be answering your questions at Guardian HQ from 2pm GMT on Tuesday 25 February

It’s been eight years since Nigel Godrich’s band Ultraísta released their debut album (we called it “a producer’s album, but not without the benefits that come from stepping out from behind the desk”), and now the trio are back with Sister, out on 13 March. Multi-instrumentalist Godrich joins frontwoman Laura Bettinson and drummer/producer Joey Waronker for what they’ve described as a “cinematic sci-fi soundscape that’s both exhilarating and laser-focused” and a “celebration of our friendship”, which is a strong Venn diagram if ever there was one.

Godrich is heading to the Guardian offices at 2pm on 25 February to answer your questions about Ultraísta – and of course his most famous gig as Radiohead’s long-term producer (not to mention a fixture of their various side projects, including Atoms for Peace, and Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s respective solo endeavours). On top of that, you can also ask him about his lauded work with U2, REM and Roger Waters, or who was the biggest diva on the 20th anniversary recording on Do They Know It’s Christmas? – not forgetting getting fired by the Strokes, and in turn firing Paul McCartney’s band before they got to work on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.

One giant leap: meet the new generation of male ballet stars

Beauty, strength and bags of energy: BBC Four’s Men at the Barre documentary gets up close and personal with the Royal Ballet dancers on the rise ‘It’s a golden era of male ballet dancers.” So says Emma Cahusac, the commissioning editor behind a new documentary, Men at the Barre, part of BBC Four’s dance season. It’s not just hyperbole. The young men rising up at the Royal Ballet are some of the most exciting in dance right now: principals Matthew Ball and Marcelino Sambé, first soloists Cesar Corrales and William Bracewell, and first artist Joseph Sissens all feature in Men at the Barre. With the majority of them British or UK-trained, it’s a giant leap from the grumblings of a decade ago about the lack of local dancers making it to the top. I spoke to Ball, Corrales and Sambé by phone, all staying resolutely positive during this enforced break from their intensive dancing lives, but all desperate to get back to work with colleagues they’re certain are something special. “I see so m...

Dita Von Teese: ‘Even when I was a bondage model, I had big-time boundaries’

As the star dives into a giant glass of fizz for her first online extravaganza, she talks about this new golden age for burlesque, why the French Strictly gives her costume problems – and how #MeToo has changed her Dita Von Teese is looking divine. Her lips are that signature red, she’s wearing 1950s cat eye glasses, and her black hair falls in a thick wave across a Snow White skin – and all this on the unglamorous stage of a glitchy Zoom call. Only knowing Von Teese from her femme fatale image, her teasingly aloof burlesque performances, and her time in the tabloids as former wife of goth rocker Marilyn Manson , you might expect an icy demeanour, an impermeable mystique. So it’s surprising to discover quite how normal she is: chatty, self-deprecating, not very vampish. It’s easy to see traces of Heather Sweet, the “super shy” girl from small-town Michigan who transformed into Von Teese. The reason for our conversation is a new film, Night of the Teese, made with director Quinn Wils...
