  1. Bought Giselle tickets for her. Cost a ton of money. Should have (actually did) expect this would happen. I don't want to have to see even more ballets than I have tickets for, so is there a way to sell them? Stub hub never worked for me.
  2. You mean those big companies that hire people for training at no pay, and then pay two dollars an hour, make you work on call with no ability to get a second job, force you to get food stamps, and you work until your earnings eat into the next level boss's bonus, so you get fired and lose your book of business? Which are unlike and better than small family owned businesses that cause one to suffer through nepotism?
  3. If that is what the poster meant. Some people go to grad school to meet job requirements. Some go to delay work. Some go b/c of parental pressure. Some go because they love learning but hate the school room or process. Some go to learn because they need the skills. Some go because they don't have to work if they get scholarships. Some go because they don't know what else to do. Maybe, for some, it is a calling. But for a dancer who had no "calling or passion" and did something requiring incredible sacrifice, discipline, time, and work in school, who is still doing it after retirement, I have a bit of a hard time comprehending the meaning still. Could a dancer have pressure or financial or other type of desperation? Is that passion?
  4. What kind of counseling? Training in how to behave when in power? Good luck. Heel? Be nice? Talking to a dr? Depends on the type of harassment and your belief in the dsm or pharmacology.
  5. Yes, but would you not have discontinued it at some point? E.g., the Sasha Radetsky movie and the best in class ballerina student with the ballet mom (I think). Maybe you liked and hated school? I am sure it was boring as hell for you, which was a part you probably hated (forgive my speculation). Maybe no one did anything to relieve your boredom. But you had to go to school. She didn't have to go to ballet school, be a ballerina, or become an AD. Sorry for not looking that up.
  6. I didn't criticize her. I do remember the Graham ad but forgot to see it at the time. Which Daphnis did she dance? I missed LCF but passed by some stands with Kabuki type information. Did she dance Kabuki or a modern dance? Why do people say she lacks passion for classical ballet? Absent that, how would she have endured her schooling and career, and "after career", considering its demands and her misery.
  7. In the recent Disney version, why couldn't she stop the curse?
  8. 29 to 30 to 35? ABT 360 to 480? It is like college rates of inflation
  9. Well, what is the cure? Intolerance of the things that are tolerable to some but not others? No criticism? The immigration rules (which did not help solve a problem), as discussed elsewhere?
  10. So she is dancing post-retirement? She was on his site, and his fans' sites, but how would anyone know the veracity of what anyone says or what it means? (E.g., did he dance with her or did she dance with someone else at his gala? Was the magazine or she truthful or accurate? Is that tolerable or not (see below re Martins). He had a video on the New York Mag site for a long time about Ferri that is no longer there, either. So I have no idea what is or is not on Google
  11. Seems very petty if that's the reason if she denies dancing with does she deny dancing at his galas
  12. Aurelie complained in the same way as m about the school.
  13. Didn't she dance the five last with bolle? she had danced galas with him although I was shocked by how awful the DVDs was
  14. Does this count as basis? 1 rabbi said there is no such thing as coincidence 2 logic 3 experience.
  15. I don't know the policy on speculation.
  16. Yes I was referring to dupont in France as well as my experience in USA, as well as the UN. I have only ever studied three issues of Canadian law but I won't go into the them. The issues allegedly come to light are irrelevant to me given the biased arrogant superior so called expert press misreporting this week by both opposing opinion networks which contravenes basic daily practiced ny and federal law knowingly. Maybe this info is even tradecraft, who knows. I remember a shampoo commercial -he told two friends etc -like a game of telephone. So info on the Internet and dead baby pix ( incl those on video as the kids pulled the sheet over their heads- which also could be edited ) - that come up in the rags and new info outlets can mean to you whatever you hope they do.
  17. I think that statements of alleged hope about an end to disputes mistreatment retaliation abuse ignore the history of forever war see eg Europe meanwhile people say they seek snitches on this same site so go on the record as a snitch and suffer consequences as usual bc of some notion of we are good they are bad and justice which could mean punishment both of which elsewhere we are urged to avoid on this board
  18. I would have been fired so many times for airing any such grievance. And I would receive punishment and banishment, not praise. And no one, especially women, would provide guidance; I expected and received sabotage. Yelling is not related to hard work. Perhaps it shows a style of management or a human loss of temper, better dealt with, with training, in private. Some see it as a useful tool - to intimidate, influence, show power, get people to work (not my preference.) The television view of big business may obviate any idea about nepotism, but most businesses are small, family businesses. And you suck it up. The boss won't treat you better than his kid, and you shouldn't even expect it. People expect an ideal that is a fairy tale. Work sucks, is hard, and is not an act of love.
  19. Well, those are not US laws. Oddly, the OSHA law says per the UN it applies universally, but businesses claim to leave the U.S. due to overregulation, and go see a video of a ladder leaning on a pile in Bangladesh. I don't know how anyone would function. Every arena - teacher, dr., advertiser, scientist, pharmaceutical company, lawyer, government agent, corporation, military unit. salesperson, artist, donor, philanthropist, nonprofit - uses intimidation, manipulation (a/k/a persuasion) (at mental and emotion risk, as well as physical) against the public, enemy, resource source, audience, and employees. E.g., ads for drugs scares all (bullying), often create a disease (fraud) and "cure" (fraud, bullying), makes a worthless disclosure that the dr tells one to ignore, hides adverse events, and gets away with murder while making a profit (physicial, emotional, mental, economic harm).
  20. Well we lost him at ABT for that, as well. Yet again. Her husband/bf was in the film, as were other etoile/ or p.d. Whoever made that film, both as shot and edited, should be exiled.
  21. The films attribute this to Aurelie, and blame her for her statements and laziness given her talents. What is the source regarding Myriam?
  22. Do European galas sell out? I have been to empty galas many times in the States, and people are begged to attend. Without a sponsor, I still don't see how one earns a living. Although I think Masha will have a lot of opportunities, unlike others. She has a great talent for self-promotion, and a devoted following that enjoys her type of work.
  23. I don't. I just stated my observations. I don't find a person good or bad or worthy of punishment because she lacks acting skills. You were lucky to see SFB in NY, as was I. I loved YYT. I thought Masha moved in a way enjoyed by the young in McGregor, whose ballets I have spent a lot of money on and still do not understand. I don't understand Ferri's relationship with him, either. (Then again, I saw people whoop and holler at Martha Graham, at a performance that was filled to the brim, which did not occur at virtually any ballet I saw at ABT or NYCB, or the Russian, Parisian, English, or Chinese visitors to NY (except for the claque), and I did not get that, either).
