bart Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 It's a good issue, even by the high standards of this publication. I especially appreciated Haegeman from Paris and Simpson from London. Rita Feliciano's reports on the rich, varied dance scene in the Bay area remind me of the good old days when the Village Voice was full of dance criticism. Carol Pardo has chosen to make herself a Miami City Ballet expert. She's seen the dancers and the productions enough to allow her to make interesting and useful comparisons, something that can't be expected of someone like Alistair Macaulay of the New York Times.

Helene Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Accompanying Michael's vivid descriptions of the experience of Hubbe's last performances are two wonderful shots of Hubbe by Costas as "Apollo"; a third -- a stunner -- appears on the cover. Link to comment
Alexandra Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thank you, faithful readers :blush: I don't usually do this, but here's a link to the cover. Costas's photo is wonderful! DanceView Link to comment
bart Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Costas's photo is wonderful!I agree. I don't recall many -- if any -- photos where the performer receiving the ovation seemed so genuinely delighted. Link to comment
carbro Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for breaking your habit, Alexandra. A wonderful and unusual photo! Link to comment
Anne Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The Spring 2008 DanceView is out and contains the following articles:Stepping Up: The New York City Ballet's Winter Season, by Michael Popkin Winter in Paris: Paris Opera Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, and West Side Story, by Marc Haegeman Olds Friends in New Guises: Jewels and The Nutcracker at the Miami City Ballet, by Carol Pardo Slovak National Ballet: A Sampler of Ballet in Bratislava, by Julie Van Camp and New York, London and San Francisco reports by Gay Morris, Jane Simpson, and Rita Felciano respectively. DanceView is a quarterly print companion to danceviewtimes that makes readers wish there were 8 seasons and 8 issues a year. Subscriptions are available here. I would love to subscribe on this quarterly, especially because of the article on Hübbes farewell in the latest issue. But can it really be true that one cannot subscribe or pay in any other way than by sending a letter by snailmail enclosing a "a check, or international money order"? Isn't there any possibility of paying in some on-line way? It costs (at least in Denmark it does) a fortune to have a check made by the bank, about half of the prize for the quarterly itself.

Alexandra Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Unfortunately, we cannot accept credit cards -- it cost us nearly %2,000 a year and which greatly exceeded the amount of money we took in. You can send us money through PayPal. Anne, I'll email you with details. Link to comment

I just learned about DanceView by reading through the Forums (I'm new to Ballet Talk). I read that John Percival had a review of that book by Julie Kavanagh in the Winter 2008 issue. Could some one tell me what his opinion was? Thank you for the information. Link to comment
carbro Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 bart (thank you!) summarizes Percival's review here, on the thread titled "Julie Kavanagh's Nureyev Biography". Link to comment

I just knew Mr. Percival would hit the nail on the head. I would like to order the Winter 2008 issue of DanceView. Do you know if it is possible (please say yes!), and how much would it cost. Thanks again for your help. I just love Ballet Talk - I am having a wonderful time reading and learning. Link to comment
