pherank Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 w who is the 'lead' woman in Episodes (the first section)? Is that Ogden? I believe that's the woman cantdance identified as Valerie Tellmann in Agon. She's new to the Farrell company.That's Elizabeth Holochuk, a longtime soloist in the company, in the following movement. Thanks KFW - she was indeed in the Agon excerpt as well. Link to comment
pherank Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks to Jack Reed for noticing that the archived video (from the LIVE preview) had been put up immediately on the Kennedy Center website: http://www.kennedy-center.org/explorer/videos/?id=M5627 I recommend taking a look if only for the segments of Balanchine's Episodes, which I don't think has been seen online before in any form. Suzanne Farrell Ballet performs sections from: Mozartiana Episodes Apollo Agon Pas de Dix More details can be found in this thread: http://balletalert.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/37928-suzanne-farrell-ballet-season-preview-webcast-23rd-october-2013/ Link to comment
Jack Reed Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Especially in the absence of a Millennium Stage Preview performance of TSFB this year, I thought it would be useful to summarize all in one place for handy reference what we've figured out on this thread so far about who's dancing what (especially if I can link to this post from the page on the Kennedy Center web site where the video plays). I've included the moment in time in the video, shown at the left end of the progress bar under the window where the video plays, when each dance begins to help with the identification, and you may be able to navigate back and forth through the video as it plays by nudging the button in the progress bar left or right with your cursor: Mozartiana excerpts [00:10] i. Preghiera ["Prayer"] Natalia Magnicaballi, four girls [4:40] iii. Menuet four solo women [8:43] Kristen Gallagher, ballet mistress for the Suzanne Farrell Ballet Episodes excerpts: [10:13] from First Movement Valerie Tellment, Ian Grosh [15:56] pas de deux from the Third Movement Elisabeth Holowchuk with Kirk Henning [18:48] Kristen Gallagher introduces Apollo Apollo excerpts: [19:35] iii. variation, Terpsichore Natalia Magnicaballi [21:36] iv. variation, Apollo Michael Cook [24:05] pas de deux of Terpsichore and Apollo Natalia Magnicaballi with Michael Cook [28:40] Kristen Gallagher introduces Agon Agon excerpt: ii. pas de trois Ian Grosh, Valerie Tellment, Kirk Henning [29:32] bransle simple [30:46] bransle double [32:24] Kristen Gallagher introduces the remainder of TSFB's 2013 season [36:22] Pas de Dix excerpt: Natalia Magnicaballi with Michael Cook Amy Brandt with Jesse Campbell, Alison Basford with Ian Grosh, Miriam Ernest with Oliver Swan-Jackson, Katie Gibson with Ted Seymour Edited to update the address in the link to the page where the video plays in accordance with changes on the Kennedy Center web site.

kfw Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks, Jack. I just noticed several short video interviews with SFB dancers on the company's Facebook page. And now that I've taken the time to watch them, I can report that they yield several clues about casting. Link to comment
