grace Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 sorry to disappoint you, but i know nothing about this! ;) that's why i'm posting - to maybe hear some information from anyone who HAS read this article in the new issue of DANCE NOW.... - mind sharing a bit? also in this SPRING 2003 issue (apparently): Jonathan Cope in conversation with Debra Craine The legendary Olga Spessivtseva by Jane Simpson Relationships in Mayerling by Jann Parry Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker! by Keith Watson Mark Morris in Britain by Jenny Gilbert Twyla Tharp on Broadway by Allen Robertson Violette Verdy in conversation with Gia Kourlas Scènes de Ballet by John Percival Pina Bausch's Kontaktof by Bruce Sansom it all sounds interesting.

Alexandra Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I haven't gotten my copy now, so we're dependent on our British posters for comment. It is a very interesting magazine, Grace Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 grace, is it Kontakthof you want to hear about, or Bruce Sansom's review of it? Link to comment
grace Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 was just curious to hear his views on such an unlikely subject! for starters i didn't know it was a review, so you have already told me something! i thought it could have been some sort of reflective article on bausch's style, ...or something like that. when in england, i used to get a historical magazine that came out through dancebooks, from a dance history society - that was very good, quite academic...but i think it had a different title. i'll have a look later...

grace Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 have just checked: the mag i used to get in england was called Dance Research... Link to comment
grace Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 i will delete this thread in a week or so if there aren't any responses, as seems likely ... Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 grace, it's quite a long review of Kontakthof, which was shown in London earlier this season. Kontakthof, as you probably know, is the work in which all the performers are over 65, with no previous stage experience, and it's particularly interesting to read the feelings of a dancer watching untrained bodies. It's the third piece Bruce Sansom has done for DanceNow - he wrote about Requiem in a recent issue foucsing on the works of Kenneth macMillan, and also a long piece on his experience of working in America with San Francisco Ballet and at the Vilar Institute for Arts Management.

grace Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 thanks for that info, jane. i imagine that all these articles would be of interest, but especially the SF one, and as you say, the dancer's responses to viewing old and untrained bodies in performance. thank you very much for following through on this thread.
