  1. Wilkins is 38. The news just appeared in the Chicago Tribune today and there are no clues as to the motive behind it or whether she and/or Michael plan to retire.
  2. Actually in terms of "brutal" I was referring to the review as a whole, and the harsh criticism of several individual dancers. I tried to pull it up on the Dance magazine website, however it is not yet posted. As for Callie, I was referring not to the injury reference, which was true, but the "second thoughts" part, which I thought was purely speculation. But perhaps, if there were other negative reviews, then maybe the performance as a whole was not up to par. I am used to Chicago Tribune reviews which tend to be, on the whole, more positive, when reviewing ballet. (Perhaps they want the companies to keep visiting!)
  3. Granted, I don't subscribe to the NY Times, so I don't see a lot of ballet reviews, and frankly I did not see the production either, so I don't know whether the review is accurate. But I just read the Dance Magazine review of NYCB's Romeo and Juliet, and the review I think is particularly brutal. for instance, the statement referring to Peter Martin's decision not to cast the student that was previously selected due to injury or "perhaps second thoughts" seems to me to be completely unfounded. I was once a journalism major, so I know reviews are entirely subjective, but this one seems to cross the line.
  4. Went to see The Company in Chicago yesterday (had to go into the city since I'm sure it won't be playing in northwest Indiana any time soon if ever). My daughter was disappointed and felt it was like watching "one long rehearsal". Nice shots of the Joffrey (it was fun to see pieces - and people - on film that we have seen in person) and Chicago but we felt that there was not much of a plot or anything that would really have you identify with the characters.
