Another weird advertising campaign. You'd think it would at least use the actual music.

 

Just saw this. No idea what NYCB wanted to express, a non-classic weirdo version of SB?

NYCB has "community standards."  

And it's not as if morals clauses, or whatever they're named, are something new and part of "cancel culture," unless you consider "cancel culture" as old as the oldest sin, because workplaces and groups have, for millenia, removed people from violating their cultural norms, which, for companies, has simply meant embarrassing them., or restricted them from the beginning.

Same as with many other companies in different industry. Apple fired a VP immediately after his distasteful remarks about women in a Tiktok video. Companies have social responsibilities, and need to maintain an image.

I was not surprised of the news that Putin's daughter's new boyfriend accidently shared the same last name as Ukraine's president. As far as I know, Igor Zelensky also shares the same last name so Zelensky might be a common last name there. So I was really shocked that the only other Zelensky I know, Ignor Zelensky, is exactly the boyfriend of Putin's daughter.

This is the Google translation of the printed part, Lizzy.  I have no personal comments, except that a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine as soon as possible would be fine with me.

Address by the General Director of the Bolshoi Theater Vladimir Urin before the performance of the ballet "Spartacus" (April 2, 19:00).

The Bolshoi Theater launched a large-scale charity event "Open Curtain", organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. The collection from the legendary performance by Yuri Grigorovich will be sent to help the families of soldiers who died during the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

The Bolshoi Theater will also show one of the performances in April for refugees from Ukraine.
 

Thank you for the information! I wish peace for Ukraine too!

Wonder who was he and what did he say in the video?

I think Tiler's lack of flexibility was more obvious in Rubies. I associate that role with a lot of hip swinging, and Tiler did not have the flexibility to do that. The comparison with Megan and Sterling (neither of whom I associate with jelly-like flexibility either) was striking.  Tiler's legs and hips were stiff.

Does this lack of flexibility relate to her past injuries? She had a major injury (~ half-year absence) on lower back in her early times. Then a recent injury on neck.

Lizzy, in the Bolshoi World Ballet Day presentation yesterday Vladislav Lantratov said that he's coaching for the first time and enjoying it. He said that the reason that he's doing it is so that the more elderly coaches can stay home during the virus. Seems like a very sensible and understanding decision on his part and the company's.

(I still can't get these to go away)

 

This was really very considerate of him.

A new video.

"The program is dedicated to the return of the Bolshoi Theater artists to their usual life. You will see how the first rehearsals went, the first meetings with choreographers, teachers and colleagues. What are the artists waiting for and what are they preparing for in the new season? What difficulties do you face after such a long vacation, and what comes easy? Grandiose plans for the year ahead. And no less grandiose opening of the season with the opera Don Carlos by G. Verdi."

(Thanks to Sophia at Dansomanie)

 

Curious, Lantratov was the coach in the video. Do senior principals normally work as coaches as well as dancers?
