Latest Dance Links - wb Saturday 31 December 2011


Recommended Posts

Each day we add the latest links to reviews and interviews that we find on the major newspaper web sites around the world. If you find a link that we have missed do please post it up, preferably as a URL link.

 

Last week's thread:

See last weeks and earlier links here:

http://www.ballet.co...ry/todayslinks/

 

Bookmarking this page:

Click on the following link and then bookmark the links page that comes back - it's a special URL that will always bring you to the thread with the latest reviews:

http://www.ballet.co.uk/todayslinks

 

Reviews Database

The review links we find go in a database - we have many thousands of entries and you can search it on company, dance, dancer, reviewer, publication, theatre, city or a combination of all of them! Just fill-in the boxes here:

http://www.ballet.co...h/db_search.cgi

 

Non Working Links:

Some papers move pieces on their websites so it is impossible to guarantee links. If you find a recent link that does not work and you have found a working version by all means post it up. And thank you!

 

Registering with papers:

It's an increasing fact of life that papers ask readers to register before letting them have free access to pieces. Usually registration is a one off process and then, providing you've ticked any obvious boxes, you should be remembered as a registered reader and the links we give should take you straight to the pieces. In registering for papers many people get themselves a Yahoo or Hotmail email account and thus protect their main email from any inadvertent problems.

 

Seeing Pieces Behind a Pay-wall

Some papers have introduced a pay-wall. We don't generally list pieces we can't freely see. However some of the papers will show the article for free if the reader visits the page by way of a Google search. If we can do this then we list, but alas cannot give a 2 stage link - only the link that works if you are a subscriber. If you are interested but not a subscriber then use the details we give to search Google and take it from there.

 

And Finally...

We should not need to state this but these links are for our readers' use and not for other websites to take and pass off as their own. We ask all visitors to respect Ballet.co's site and the way it operates.

Dancers: Collwes, Crossman, Desjardins, Goggans, Hinrichs, Madoff, Mitchell, Munnerlyn, Nelson, Riener, Scott, Toogood, Weber

by Alastair Macaulay

"They say that a drowning man’s past life flashes before his eyes. If drowning brought me further visions of all this choreography, I’d die content."

New York Times

 

2011: Ballerinas, Cuts and the Higgs Boson Theory

Jolts and closures in a year that questioned how people want their dance and what we should fight to keep

by Ismene Brown

"For the biggest 2011 story was the arts subsidy cuts, from which I mourn the likely death of what was, a dozen years ago, a world-famous British contemporary dance creative ecosystem."

Arts Desk

 

REVIEW: American Ballet Theatre

Ratmansky's 'Nutcracker' full of intimate touches

The Nutcracker

USA, New York, Brooklyn Academy of Music

Dancers: Elliman, Hallberg, Kelly, Monroe, Murphy, Souriau-Levine

by Jocelyn Noveck

"Ratmanksy gives us children's behavior typical of, well, kids at a holiday party on a sugar rush....(and) seems to have invented a new step called the "tantrum pas de chat" — same as the classic step, but with the feet landing in a petulant thud."

Associated Press

 

Scottish Ballet ready to turn to new page

Departing AD Ashley Page and his work

by Tim Cornwell

"Page has brought a distinctive style to his new versions of classic story ballets, including The Nutcracker and Cinderella. They have spurned Christmas family magic for darker, subversive twists in the tales"

Seven former professional dancers who have successfully branched out

"Retirement comes early in the physically brutal world of dance, but the life of a professional dancer is so all-consuming it can be difficult to dedicate any thought to the future. Many don't want to think about it."

Who's pulling the strings in Russia's ballet revolution?

A 'banana millionaire', a pair of Bolshoi defectors, an avant-garde Spaniard and an all-powerful agent are the principals in this power struggle

by Luke Jennings

"As with Duato and Sarafanov, the whole thing was engineered by Danilian, who is the agent of both dancers. If Osipova and Vasiliev have won any freedom at all, it is the freedom to make more money for Danilian."

Observer

 

Interview/Feature: Liam Scarlett, Dancer and Choreographer

A Cherub’s Classical Vocabulary

by Roslyn Sulcas

"The Miami commission may well catapult Mr. Scarlett into the wider dance world. He has already had inquiries, he said, from several dance companies in the United States and has plans to create a work for the Norwegian Ballet this year and another piece for Miami, in addition to two new pieces (one with Jonathan Watkins) planned for the Royal Ballet."

Miami City Ballet debuts work by hot young British choreographer, Liam Scarlett

One of the youngest and most talented choreographers in ballet makes his U.S. debut

Miami Herald

 

REVIEW: Mariinsky Ballet

Swan Lake ballet puts up flawless show at ROHM

Swan Lake

Oman, Muscat, Royal Opera House

Dancers: Kondaurova, Zyuzin

by Sarah MacDonald

"Kondaurova is amazing here, because while her dancing remains sublime, her energy is very different. As Odette she was soft and gentle, but as Odile she is somewhat morbid and wicked but alluring nonetheless!"

Times of Oman

 

REVIEW: English National Ballet

The Nutcracker

UK, London, Coliseum

Dancers: Streeter

by Jem Bloomfield

"Still, Eagling’s production, designed by Peter Farmer, is a terrifically enjoyable show. The programme notes say they sought “a darker vision”....But they managed it. For once the Mouse King is a genuinely compelling villain..."

California Literary Review

 

London: Stage picks for 2012 - Claire Calvert

A fairytale ballet dancer amongst our bright hopes for the year ahead

by Gemma Kappala-Ramsamy and Kate Kellaway

"But is she going too far too fast? "No," she says firmly. "I want to go as fast as possible. I am so ready.""

2012: A silver year for Matthew Bourne, and moments of solid gold

It looks to be a good year for men in dance.

by Jenny Gilbert

"If the coming dance year belongs to any individual, it's Matthew Bourne, celebrating a quarter-century of mould-breaking dance theatre."

Independent

 

2011: Mariinsky, Manon, and a German Dane

Memory defines what lasts: ephemeral dance and theatre, permanent art, it's what stays in the mind that matters

by Judith Flanders

"And Alina Cojocaru danced Manon as though it too were newly made. I’m told that there was a lot of backstage flak for her – it is true, not every step was performed exactly as choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan. But my god, the spirit was MacMillan’s, and the emotional power. It was one of the greatest tours de force I have ever seen."

Arts Desk

 

2012: New Dance Makers

A sudden healthy crop of new dance makers; young, adventurous and usually male.

by Jeffery Taylor

"ENB director Wayne Eagling has commissioned 22-year-old Williamson to recreate Michael Fokine’s 1910 classic, The Firebird, to the Stravinsky score; a balletic sacred cow if ever there was one. The premiere is at the London Coliseum in March and I can already hear the critical pencils sharpening to stiletto deadliness."

REVIEW: American Ballet Theatre

A Fairy Tale Stoked by Childhood Dreams

The Nutcracker

USA, New York, Brooklyn Academy of Music

Dancers: Cornejo H, Gomes, Gorak, Hallberg, Herrera, Kajiya, Lane, Murphy, Part, Reyes, Riccetto, Simkin, Stearns, Tamm

by Alastair Macaulay

"How can we add up the positive and negative aspects of this Nutcracker? I changed my mind at every performance. And I keep changing my mind about Mr. Ratmansky. When I say he is the finest artist choreographing in ballet today, I say so with mixed feelings about ballet itself."

New York Times

 

REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

Merce Cunningham Dance Company concludes

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

Dancers: Mitchell, Weber

by Susan Reiter

"The dancers bowed on each stage, then collected and held hands on the central stage for repeated bows. Ultimately, they had to leave us, and with their final exit, a powerfully significant and influential era in contemporary dance had come to a close."

Los Angeles Times

 

Après Merce

by Alma Guillermoprieto

"Followers like myself also loved his senseless determination to make every piece new, even if it meant losing audience members unwilling to work that hard for the payoff: in a favorite story, his brother once asked, 'Merce, when are you going to make something people like?'"

New York Review of Books

 

REVIEW: Mariinsky Ballet

Gala show brings curtains on 2011 in Oman

New Year's Eve Gala: Chopiniana, Simple Things, Carmen

Oman, Muscat, Royal Opera House

Dancers: Golub, Kondaurova

by Sarah MacDonald

"ROHM’s New Years Eve Gala with the Mariinsky Ballet was really the perfect end to 2011 and a splendid way to start 2012."

Times of Oman

 

REVIEW: Les Ballets de Monte Carlo

Lac

Monaco, Monaco, Grimaldi Forum

Dancers: Coppieters

by Ora Brafman

"The ballet was intense and Swan Lake will never be the same after the tempestuous Lac."

Jerusalem Post

 

REVIEW: Aletta Collins

Reviving a Long-Lost Tale From Kurt Weill’s Archive

Magical Night

UK, London, Linbury Studio Theatre

Dancers: Cooke, Gulgec, Randi, Ridley-DeMonick, Ruggeri, Adams-Camacho, Comerford-McDonald, Luo

by Roslyn Sulcas

"The happy ending, however, like much of the opening section, feels slightly formulaic, the choreography is often repetitive, and the show as a whole has - at least from an adult point of view - little of the sophistication and captivating magic of William Tuckett’s Faeries, last year’s Christmas production at the Linbury."

New York Times

 

Daniil Simkin - Man of the moment

"In addition to working for the American Ballet Theater, Daniil Simkin travels the world appearing in galas and as a guest artist. Tracking his travels on Twitter gives one a whole new appreciation of the term jet-setter; the man is always on the move."

REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

Will Cunningham's Works Survive?

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

Dancers: Crossman, Goggans, Mitchell, Scott, Swinston

by Robert Greskovic

"As sell-out crowds at the Armory milled around the venue's vast Drill Hall for these final MCDC appearances - which took shape as sampler presentations of Cunningham's dances - the event, with dancers appearing on three separate raised stages, had the air of a fashion designers' runway show."

Wall Street Journal

 

REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

One Last Time

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

Dancers: Collwes, Crossman, Desjardins, Goggins, Hinrichs, Madoff, Mitchell, Munnerlyn, Nelson, Riener, Scott, Swinston, Toogood, Weber

by Tobi Tobias

"The curtain calls were many, with the dancers lining all four sides of the central platform and then reforming as a tight hand-in-hand circle again and again."

Arts Journal

 

REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

The Merce Cunningham Dance Company takes its last bow

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

by Robert Johnson

"Ironically this fiercely independent choreography, the thing Cunningham valued most, cannot survive without a company trained to perform it. The claim his troupe was euthanized to save the repertoire from decay makes no sense, since closing the company abruptly hastens this decline."

Newark Star Ledger

 

REVIEW: Merce Cunningham Dance Company

After The End Of Merce

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

by Michael H Miller

"Dancers cycled onto and off of the stage, moving with such ease and subtlety that it was hard to tell when an entrance or exit had been made until after it happened."

GalleristNY

 

Roslyn Sulcas's four London Nutcrackers:

 

REVIEW: Matthew Bourne

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker

Nutcracker!

UK, London, Sadler's Wells

Dancers: Brennan, North, Shaw, Trenfield, Vassallo, Westmoreland

by Roslyn Sulcas

"the creation of steps has never been Mr. Bourne’s strength. His gifts lie in his sense of theater, his wit and timing and his understanding of the dramatic essentials of the stories he has transformed through contemporary, almost allegorical settings."

New York Times

 

REVIEW: Royal Ballet

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker

UK, London, Covent Garden

Dancers: Hamilton, Ondiviela, Polunin, Hinkis

by Roslyn Sulcas

"More interesting were two junior leads, Meaghan Grace Hinkis as Clara and Ludovic Ondiviela in the Nutcracker/Nephew role, both notable for their lively, articulate musical phrasing and confident grace."

New York Times

 

REVIEW: Birmingham Royal Ballet

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker

Nutcracker

UK, London, O2 Arena

Dancers: Millar, Willis

by Roslyn Sulcas

"For the first half (I moved for the second act), this screen was the only way to see anything at all from where I was seated at orchestra level, which meant I had no sense of the transformation scene in which the drawing room and tree swell to immense proportions, nor of the oft-praised snowflake dance ..."

REVIEW: English National Ballet

London Succumbs to the Spell of The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker

UK, London, Coliseum

Dancers: Acosta Y, Kase

by Roslyn Sulcas

"Shiori Kase metamorphosed from a perfectly pleasant young Clara into a radiant Sugar Plum Fairy, whose transformation into a fluid, precise, enchantingly musical and technically assured ballerina was made more touching by Yonah Acosta’s tender, courteous partnering."

5 stars

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

Dancers: Collwes, Desjardins, Goggans, Hinrichs, Mitchell, Nelson

by Apollinaire Scherr

"... we clapped and wept and roared for the Merce Cunningham dancers to come back, to stay. They did return to the stage again and again for bows, looking more overwhelmed each time. But they could not stay forever."

REVIEW: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Trying Always to Please, Rarely to Challenge

Revelations, Journey, Arden Court, Home, Minus 16, Streams

USA, New York, City Center

Dancers: Mack, Sims LC

by Alastair Macaulay

"Strangely, the difference between good and bad choreography counts for less at Ailey than at anywhere else. The lure is neither the individuals nor the material they perform so much as a more generalized feeling of large-spiritedness that the Ailey company always delivers."

New York Times

"Later, these dancers suddenly appear in the audience, looking around in a rather sinister way for partners to bring up onstage. At a recent performance, some of those recruited looked like deer in the headlights, but most of the amateur dancers were footloose and uninhibited, including one elderly woman who truly brought down the house ..."

Hail and Farewell

Park Avenue Armory Event

USA, New York, Park Avenue Armory

Dancers: Collwes, Crossman, Desjardins, Goggans, Hinrichs, Madoff, Mitchell, Nelson, Riener, Scott, Toogood, Weber

by Deborah Jowitt

"Considering that for many years, he and his company performed under difficult conditions before an uncomprehending public, he was, I’m sure, tickled by the adulation that his dancers have been receiving in recent years. And he might might have been amazed by the rapt response at this final Event."

"Still, my fondest remembrance of Alicia's dancing came in late spring at the Ballet Royale studio on Red Branch Road, where she danced a solo for friends, families and, especially, for mentor Donna Pidel. Indeed, the Columbia native is the shiniest star in this planet's dance galaxy, and ranks first in our list of best dance performances of 2011."
