meunier fan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Justin Peck's Murder Ballades is refreshingly supreme - saw it twice at Sadler's Wells last season in London .... and the second time that was ALL I saw. It was worth the price of any ticket alone. Wish more Peck would come to London. Link to comment
pherank Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) L.A. Dance Project has acquired a 5 year lease on a rehearsal and performance space. No simple task in Los Angeles. It's a big step for the company. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/04/25/arts/dance/la-dance-project-benjamin-millepied-space-of-its-own.html '[Millepied] said that the raw space would be equipped with a full lighting plot and modular seating. “We’ll be able to create work and rehearse with lighting, which is a major luxury,” he said. He added that he planned to program multidisciplinary performances and events year-round, have classes and workshops, and offer the space to other artists and ensembles when the troupe is on tour. “There is an amazing amount of talent in Los Angeles, but a lack of infrastructure, and rehearsal space is at a premium,” he said. “I’ve seen firsthand how expensive it is to self-produce, so I want to offer local artists residencies and performance opportunities.”' Edited April 26, 2017 by pherank Link to comment
