alison Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 . Thank you for doing it anyway, Ian (and John!). I hope you realised the fact that you'd already had 250 viewings of this week's links as of yesterday means they are very much appreciated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl H Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Macaulay's article "Whose Swan Lake is it?" is a really worthwhile read. Yes, I don't think I have even seen that pose ending the Black Swan PDD, and I certainly agree that it would be nice to see the original ending of Giselle,not sure if I have even seen it but I know about it, I prefer the original musical ending too instead of the quiet one we are used to.
