  1. The passing of Carolyn Clark, founder of NJ Ballet was announced by the company's facebook page. Before founding NJ Ballet, she danced with American Ballet Company, the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, the Radio City Music Hall Ballet and in such Broadway productions as “Music Man,” the musical that starred Robert Preston. She also danced on television's “Bell Telephone Hour” and served as an assistant choreographer for that show. She sat on the advisory board of Channel 13 for five years and was a member of the President's Council on the Arts for the Kennedy Center. I hope to spot a better onituary, but for now only see this https://snbc13.com/carolyn-clark-founder-and-director-of-new-jersey-ballet-company-has-died-death-obituary/?fbclid=IwAR26aqB2_6nackrCK_FhvZb5ZwLKeZzzVDOoiqaj0PEuOoQ6pTIOXgUmYaI Carolyn Clark's legacy : NJ Ballet https://www.nj.com/entertainment/2018/11/nj_ballet_60th_anniversary_season_mayo.html Meanwhile, here is an interview in the NY Times from 1978 https://www.nytimes.com/1978/08/06/archives/new-jersey-weekly-interview-ballet-director-leads-revival-ballet.html
  2. In 2022: Grants to Dance = Total Dollar Amount: $2,315,000 in 1974 (in 1974 dollars): $3,942,327. Page 24 In 2022 dollars that 1974 total would be $22,294,699 according to this site. https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1974?amount=3942327 By contrast, in 1974 dollars, that 2022 total would be $409,357. Peanuts by comparison, during a period when the government has been subsidizing private for profit business' pandemic losses. [Also, I don't see how to get rid of that highlighting, it is unintentional]
  3. Peanuts... but at least widely distributed... may it attract more substantial support to these companies
  4. Glad to hear Magloire is still creating. His performance model of a chamber ballet is so perfect for these times... who knew what was ahead back when he started...
  5. Several friends, sad to have missed the local screening, were wondering if/when one could stream "In Balanchine's Classroom". Today another friend sent me a link and I thought I would share it here: https://kinonow.com/film/in-balanchine-s-classroom/611a871fe21b1a0001f19ec3?fbclid=IwAR1i94ijMFayL5CpqcSg3htHLmysEPbA8z3F8SrN6qX0W3FjSytyLgyR_V0 it is a wonderful film, much in the same line as the Ballets Russes film a few years ago, also a Zeitgeist film... I thought it would be dry and technical (and was looking forward to learning more about Balanchine technique) , but this was not that. I recommend it for a wide audience.
  6. https://youtu.be/egGp1bWjU5Q The schedule is now up! But, I'm having a hard time making out when in NY time each company will stream? https://worldballetday.com (Scroll down to see the schedule)
  7. There is no news in the regular press yet? It seems strange...
  8. So very saddened by this news... I always thought it would be so wonderful to go on one of her tours... had no idea we could lose her so soon!!
  9. Jacques... never spoke down to us... always giving... so much energy and elegance as a dancer, and always a dancer, full of curiosity and fascination... and a superb partner.... I used to think his hands affectatious until someone pointed out that Balanchine held his hands that way... and a producer, he was always bring talent together. if only he were not so unique.... the world could use so many more like him.
  10. The silence and the look in their eyes is deafening.... may the live audience return soon...
  11. I wonder if it were Tamisha Guy? She seems to be tagged here: (not an instagram person myself) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KO_EbgFfT/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
  12. So sorry to hear this. Her classes at Purchase were fascinating, particularly Post Modern Dance History and Performance Art.
  13. Oh wow, he asked permission, was demied, and did it anyway! Shows something of his personality!
  14. Yes, in this slow time, the silver lining is perhaos more time to read. Was it Perrot who sued Petipa (and won!) for intellectual property theft, or was it St. Leon? I think Perrot? Wishes she had the books in hand... [edited to add] it was Perrot. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/11/arts/dance/looking-for-the-real-petipa-in-classical-ballets.html
