carbro Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 The biggest single thing he can do now in terms of his expression, artistry and indeed technique, is to keep his upper body calmer and more relaxed, his shoulders more down and to the sides. In Donizetti, . . . he got more and more tense as the difficult variations proceeded. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And, one might reasonably infer, he probably began to tire. If he's to relax the chest and shoulders -- and keep them relaxed, he has to get stronger. Maybe he should be visiting a gym? He's not up to her chops right now, however.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who at NYCB do you think is? My dearest ballet fantasy these days is a Bouder-Gomes match. He may be a little tall, but I think the chemistry would be volatile -- in a good way.How else would she know about us Bouderites??How, indeed? Such a sparse and meek group! :shhh: Barely even noticeable. Link to comment

You don't have to go to Ballet Talk to know that the audience at the NYSTheater is packed with Bouder fans, you just to have eyes and ears! Link to comment
oberon Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yes, any writer would be aware that Ashley has lots of fans by the noise we make at her performances. But it's here at Ballet Talk that Bouder's various falls have been chronicled. Link to comment
