toursenlair Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Jorma Elo's new ballet for Dutch National Ballet has square-skirted tutus, some of them cut in half (you can see this right at the end of this trailer). What do you think? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KNeq7Npbeos?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The tiny glimpse of the half tutu makes it look very bizarre but the programme looks really interesting! Thanks for the link Katherine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina G. Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Seen before. The "Cards" in the Royal Ballet's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" danced in square-skirted tutus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 As, IIRC, did the cards in ENB's production. I've definitely seen square tutus before but not half tutus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes I know the square tutus aren't new. I also remember the liquorice allsorts tutus in Derek Deane's Nutcracker. As the title of the thread suggests, it's the half tutus I was noting (there are also some 3/4 tutus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaliesey Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ooh how weird but I like them as good to see something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, I seem to remember that ENB's square tutus caused some problems with balance or something, so I wonder what effect a half-square one will have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like the look of them. The standard of the dancing,no surprise,looks FAB !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
