Outreach Work (Peter Brinson)
Jane S replied to Ellie's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Ellie, Peter Brinson wrote a book called Dance in Education, which was published in 1991 - I don't know if it covers the areas you're particularly interested in, but you can get an impression of what it's like here: .http://www.questia.com/read/109415012/dance-as-education-towards-a-national-dance-culture -

I'm pleased to see that she still calls it a flower shower - much nicer name than flower throw! -
How does one pronounce ....
Jane S replied to simonbfisher's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I've been wondering, how many people still call Covent Garden "Cuvvent" Garden? It was quite common among older people 50 years ago but I haven't heard it for decades and thought it had completely died out until I saw a discussion on another site which showed that it's still current. -
How does one pronounce ....
Jane S replied to simonbfisher's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
It's more habit than confidence, Anne - I read the name long before I ever heard anyone pronounce it and had no idea there was any other way of saying it, and have just stuck with it. -

I just follow 'quixotic' and say Don Kwiksot. -
English National Ballet - Le Corsaire, 2013/14
Jane S replied to johnross's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
If you're really interested in this question you might like to take a look at a discussion on the BalletAlert forum from some years ago - the topic called Pas de Deux. The answer seems to be that no-one really knows. -

Did steam come out of the spout? I just found a photo of a teapot in the Lichine production, taken from the back and saying 'note the apparatus for making the steam'. -

Gregory Dean promoted to Principal at RDB
Jane S posted a topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Gregory Dean, formerly of Scottish Ballet was promoted to solodanser (principal) of the Royal Danish Ballet tonight, onstage after a performance of Nutcracker. He has been giving some very good performances recently si it doesn't come as a complete surprise but it is very good news for him. -
Just a footnote: if you've noticed an older man in the photos of A Wooden Tree - it's Baryshnikov, who danced in the premiere. He did the bit with the imaginary roll - Marina Harss reviewed it for Dance Tabs: http://dancetabs.com/2012/10/mark-morris-dance-group-canonic-studies-a-wooden-tree-silhouettes-grand-duo-sarasota/

He was at the Saturday matinee, which was the one the press were invited to review - Amatriain/Jones. I was there too and there will be a review on DanceTabs when I finish writing it!

Interesting remark in passing from Donald Hutera's 4* Times review of Osipova/Acosta - he wasn't impressed by Acosta and wondered "what would have happened had, say, Ricardo Cervera (an excellent Mercutio) slipped into Romeo’s ballet slippers"....- 119 replies

English National Ballet - Le Corsaire, 2013/14
Jane S replied to johnross's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I believe it was actually John Percival who gave Roslyn Suclas one of her first big opportunities, taking her on to write for Dance and Dancers sometime in the 1980s, so she has been watching and writing about dance for at least 25 years. And of course John Percival himself - and most other critics I can think of - started in the same way, with no other professional link to the dance world. All criticism is just opinion, isn't it? ( John Percival just happened to be right more often than the others!)
