kfw Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The Winter 2006 issue of DanceView is now in print. DanceView is a quarterly review published by Alexandra Tomalonis, editor of the online sister publication DanceView Times, and founder of Ballet Talk. None of the articles in the print version appear online. The new issue features several season reviews: Gay Morris on Amercan Ballet Theatre at City Center, Carole Pardo on Miami City Ballet, and more general New York, London, and San Francisco reports by Morris, Jane Simpson, and Rita Felciano respectively. In addition, John Percival reviews biographies of Fonteyn and Kschessinka, and Dale Brauner interviews Jennifer Kronenburg. Most interesting of all, from my perspective, Michael Popkin explores the pictorial aspects of dance and the sometimes parallel course of painting and choreography in his article, Painting, Ballet and Choreography. DanceView is available by subscription here. Link to comment
bart Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I both enjoyed and learned a lot from the writing in this issue. Michael Popkin's piece raises a lot of issues we've talked about here, and I will be re-reading it several times. And THANKS for Carol Pardo's insightful comments on Miami's recent programs -- and Dale Brauner's interview with MCB ballerina Jennifer Kronenberg. Both shed light on Villella's work,;his openness to bringing in as coaches dancers who originated some of Balanchine's great roles; the company style; and Ms. Kronenberg herself. What a wonderfully expressive dancer Kronenberg is. And -- like Villella himself -- from Queens! Link to comment
