kbarber Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Pointe Magazine will be livestreaming this on Monday Feb 5 at 7 pm on their facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/PointeMagazineOfficial/ http://www.pointemagazine.com/balanchines-guys-jacques-damboise-2530604326.html?utm_campaign=RebelMouse&socialux=facebook&share_id=3263917&utm_medium=social&utm_content=Pointe&utm_source=facebook On Monday, February 5, the National Dance Institute (NDI) is bringing together three of New York City Ballet's former star male dancers—Jacques d'Amboise, Edward Villella and Arthur Mitchell—in a one-night-only program titled Balanchine's Guys. These ballet veterans will discuss what it was like dancing for George Balanchine, and the impact that he had on their lives. All three men graced the stages of NYCB over a period stretching from the late 1940s through the 1980s, and served as inspiration for a number of the great choreographer's most famous works. During Monday's program NYCB dancers Teresa Reichlen, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Sterling Hyltin, Ask La Cour, Joaquin de Luz and Daniel Ulbricht will bring some of those works to life. The dancers will perform excerpts from Apollo (d'Amboise was a famous interpreter of the role); Agon (created for Mitchell); and Prodigal Son (one of Villella's signature roles.) Link to comment
Helene Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Great that this will be live-streamed! Edited to add: I hope they do the same for NDI's "A Celebration of Jerome Robbins" on May 21. Link to comment

pherank Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 NOTE: the actual advertisement says that this takes place at 7:10pm, not 7:00pm. Link to comment

I've never liked the Facebook streams - they're just not as easy to work with as the YouTube streams. The controls are never self-evident, and the user often has to know to keep refreshing the page when there's an issue. Edited February 6, 2018 by pherank Link to comment

rkoretzky Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Link won't open for me. My daughter just got it and says it's been on for 20 mins. Disaster. Link to comment
CharlieH Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 One needs the Facebook app. Hopefully the interview will be posted in NDI’s website so that folks without the app can see it later. Link to comment

rkoretzky Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Well that was incredibly frustrating. Saw about four minutes. Pherank, thanks for the link. It eventually opened, but only in the Facebook app, not on the web Link to comment

It eventually opened, but only in the Facebook app, not on the web Yes, they've managed to botch it up - but that happens often enough with these Facebook streams. First of all, the live stream advertisement should appear at the top of their Facebook main page content. No one should have to hunt around to find the live stream. And clicking on the video controls should begin the streaming (and the video controls should actually work). There could be a separate link to the "theater" page with the Facebook app, but the basic video stream should be available right up front to users. Link to comment

It works using the Apple Safari browser. I just tested with Google Chrome and the embedded video did appear after a delay of a couple seconds. The video should appear after the 1st paragraph, ending with "(There's a bit of a sound delay, but it's well worth the watch!)". Link to comment
