volcanohunter Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I can't make heads or tails of the start time. Obviously San Francisco and New York are not six hours apart, just as New York and London are not two hours apart. I guess we'll just have to turn on our computers on Sunday and see what happens. Interesting initiative, though. Thanks for posting the information. Link to comment
kbarber Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I was puzzled by that too but we'll have to see. Unfortunately in Canada it conflicts with the Royal Ballet broadcast Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yes, I'm likely to catch only the tail end of this. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The website now has updated start times: 9am Pacific, 12 pm Eastern, 5 pm GMT, 6 pm CET When it lists 4 am Monday for Australia, I'm guessing this refers to south-eastern Australia. https://www.zarely.co Link to comment
its the mom Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was speaking to a few of the dancers participating, and because of injury, they added the online discussion with rehab expert, Lisa Giannone. Several of the principal dancers who are unable to perform will be speaking. I am wondering if some of it, like the Discussion Round in SF, has been taped ahead of time. Paulo Arrais from Boston is no longer dancing, as he was injured. He was originally dancing with Lia Cirio, but they enlisted Paul Craig to take his place and Paulo will do the commentary. Joaquin DeLuz was to dance, as was Lauren Lovette. Neither are dancing any longer. I remember Mateo Klemmayer, who is apparently the CEO of Zarely and the Gala Director, when he danced for Boston Ballet. He was a talented young man then, and this is surely an interesting way to get his company off the ground. Link to comment

diane Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Did anyone here watch most of it? I started to (I am in central Europe, and it went late, so I had to quit in the middle) but was pretty disappointed with the sound quality, especially during the dancing segments. I got so frustrated, that I could not continue to watch after awhile. Was this only MY connection; did everyone else enjoy flawless sound and vision? -d- Link to comment
California Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The sound was atrocious throughout. I can only guess that they were not using equipment/transmission modes sufficient for this. I do want to applaud this very ambitious approach to sharing performances and discussion. I hope others try it as well, but perhaps on a more limited scale. Link to comment
sz Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'll second what California said adding that some of the dancers who were supposed to be part of the interviews did not attend, though they were not on the injured list. Ms. Scheller from NYCB danced beautifully in Corsaire pas de deux with fantastic, clean, calm perfectly executed double fouettees, and was quite charming in her brief interview. She said she felt funny taking bows to a non-audience.... but needed the pauses to catch a breath between sections. Link to comment
diane Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Oh, yes; I can sure imagine how odd it must have felt to take bows when not having a "real" audience to see and feel! Please don't get me wroing: I do think it is a great idea to do this sort of thing! I only was curious if I was the only one experiencing atrocious sound or not. -d- Link to comment
