Complete Forsythe ballets on dvd

[patshaw]

Does anyone know when we may expect the dvd release of ANY of Wm. Forsythe's ballets on dvd?

The Edinburgh Festival performances summer 2007 of 'Impressing the Czar' were totally sensational.

There is one DVD of Forsythe's work (released earlier this year), called "From a Classical Position," a work created for the camera, and a documentary called " Just Dancing Around" on amazon.com

Has anyone here see this DVD?

"From a Classical Position" and " Just Dancing Around" are available to rent on a single DVD from Netflix:

RAI is scheduled to broadcast La Scala's forthcoming Forsythe program, consisting of Artifact Suite, Herman Schmerman and In the middle, somewhat elevated. Since the program is scheduled to star Roberto Bolle and Svetlana Zakharova, there's probably a good chance of a DVD release.

You're welcome Paul.

I watched both these documentaries on this DVD about a year ago. The note I wrote to myself at the time says:

"Interesting look at Forsthye the man; less a look at his choreography"
