Bruce Wall Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Stumbled upon this. A wonderful intro to the world of male dance (from a different age ... but for the ages) which some here might enjoy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) On the same bill is this fascinating piece by Balanchine which I had never seen before; a segment from his 'A figure in the Carpet'. My word but the young Arthur Mitchell here reminds me of our own - equally young - Joseph Sissens. Glorious men of dance both. Something also hugely moving about watching Sugar Ray Robinson (the boxer) tap dance - oh, so brilliantly I might add. Lovely port de bras.

Details: https://www.facebook.com/events/d41d8cd9/in-creases-livestream/387296599329981/ Reminder that BalletMet’s stream of Peck’s In Creases just premiered & will remain up for only 3-4 days. DO NOT MISS THIS if you wish to see an example of perfectly-filmed ballet. I’ve seen this ballet live & on film several times, by several companies, but have never truly enjoyed it quite as this. Masterpiece of filming...number of cameras, editing choices, audience reactions, etc. Also very well performed. https://www.balletmet.org/virtual-performances/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see why I was gobsmacked as I watched? This is a very complex ballet, with interesting clusters making patterns throughout the 14 minutes. Very tough ballet to film adequately. The videography team really did its homework ahead of time. Even the placement of a camera behind stall/orchestra seats to capture the standing ovation of the wildly cheering audience...just right. The moment when the guys, one by one, prance over the others who are down parallel on the floor...or when the dancers are holding hands and slowly “fanning out” as the lead guy performs a solo...then all is repeated in the opposite direction...wow! I’ve already rewatched four times. I need to know the videography team!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You might enjoy New York City Center's Fall for Dance which comes in two programmes now streaming and available until 1st November. Link here. Thought Sara Mearns and David Hallberg looked spectacular together in Wheeldon's new The Two of Us set to poignant slices of Joni Mitchell. Still the highlight for me has to be Lar Lubovitch's duo from Concerto Six Twenty Two here evocatively embraced in Programme 2 by Adrain Danchig-Waring and Joseph Gordon, both NYCB principals as well as life partners. I remember being at the premiere of the entire work at City Center in the mid-80's. I certainly recall watching this stunning duet celebrating friendship during the height of the AIDS plague through a vail of tears. Here - at a time of global pandemic - it was - at least for me - even more searing somehow. Well worth the two programmes' price which includes the download of the illustrated programme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of the ones who loved this production and prefer it to the more recent one. Brings back fond memories of the great Jeremy Kerridge as Renfield. I still have my plastic coffin with chocolate in it and box of 2 garlic bulbs from 1998 (though I've changed the garlic bulbs a few times!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course this was sadly cancelled. They did the first act in February with Hirano, and he had such carisma. Hope this one will happen again here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
