Pas de Quatre Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 There is a lovely photo across pages 34 & 35 in the world news section of today's Times. Two dancers from Australian ballet admiring a Degas painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveclassics Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 According to today's Times, Andy Murray is using ballet moves to keep fit: "Murray said that the Gyrotonic exercise system, which incorporates elements of yoga and ballet, had helped him to conquer his ageing body................. Gyrotonic was developed in the 1980s by Juliu Horvath, a former ballet dancer, who describes it as “yoga for dancers” Gyrotonic is also recommended for back problems - I must find out more though my tennis-playing days are long over.

Ian Macmillan Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Natalia Osipova completists may wish to nip out and get a copy of today's Sunday Times - there's one of the 'Day in the life'- type pieces on her at the back of the Magazine, though I doubt that it reveals much that is new.

Jacqueline Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Natalia Osipova completists may wish to nip out and get a copy of today's Sunday Times - there's one of the 'Day in the life'- type pieces on her at the back of the Magazine, though I doubt that it reveals much that is new. I thought this was an interesting article, mostly because it was in Natalia's own words and she sounds rather a thoughtful lady. I find some of the S.T. celebrity interviews quite unbearably sycophantic sometimes, of the sort one might expect to find in a glossy low brow rather than a Sunday broadsheet, only possibly better written. This one did let itself down a bit, in my opinion, by twice referring to Sergei Polunin yet again, as "the bad boy of ballet". Isn't this moniker getting a little tired now or am I just grumpy today? I quite enjoyed the unrelated article in the magazine about psychological testing. In the house of personalities, I am definitely number 31! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I thought this was an interesting article, mostly because it was in Natalia's own words But it does bear an uncanny resemblance to the Mail article about Natalia (see links). No criticism of her, of course, but I wondered whether an interview with more than one journalist had simply been presented in two different ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Had an email from the Times today informing that if you register on their website you can read two articles a week. This may be enough to cover their dance-related stuff. Remains to be seen whether registration will lead one to be inundated by subscription offers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletfanp Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well, I've been registered for a while, and so far, no annoying subscription offers. All to the good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 If your Times access permits, and you wish to read about Carlo Acosta's pursuit of the girl who is now his wife, and her angle on it all, this Magazine feature from today's ST may be for you:http://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/the-sunday-times-magazine/relative-values-the-cuban-ballet-superstar-carlos-acosta-and-his-english-wife-charlotte-holland-nn98vql93 Failing that, go out and buy a copy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailR Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think my £3.00 subscription to The Times is really good value. It gives me paper copies on Saturday and Sunday and internet access every day including all their puzzles which can be done online. The Sunday culture section than gives me TV listings for the next 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 My apologies, but I now realise I missed two items from this morning's Sunday Times Culture supplement whilst doing Links. I'll include them tomorrow - but if you have no Times access and want to see a 2-page feature on Wayne McGregor and Steve Reich and the making of Multiverse for the coming RB Triple Bill, you may want to visit a newsagent. The other missed piece is on the making of a film, Young Men, by Messrs Nunn and Trevitt with the Ballet Boyz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 There is a two page piece on Sir Peter Wright in today's S.Times Culture mag, a People Watching piece on DarceyB in the main paper and a tiny piecette on Yasmine Naghdi and her new residence in Travel and Home.

Two Pigeons Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Interesting that the article on Sir Peter states that some of the factual inaccuracies incurred the wrath of Deborah Macmillan. I do wonder to which ones that statement relates. I was also slightly amused by his comments on Julia Trevelyan Oman's designs for Nutcracker and her obsession with gingerbread. Rather echoes my own view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Today's Sunday Times Culture supplement has a 2-page feature on Xander Parish. (One page is a photo.) And Ed Watson's financial doings are featured on the backpage of the Money section. The Culture supplement also includes a David Dougill review of Mad Hatter's Tea Party and a brief mention of a RB Sleeping Beauty performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Today's ST supplement The Dish is devoted to healthy eating, related recipes and the like to improve your diet and get you fit for life. The magazine kicks off proceedings with a full page ad for a brand of gin. Start as you mean to go on! Not dance related but made me smile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
