    Helene replied to SCchck's topic in New York City Ballet

    That section is a stroke of genius.

    You are right -- the first link was to the Gaynor Minden patent, which was a mistake on my part, and I've removed it. The Nye patent application refers to the Gaynor Minden (and Birkenstocks) in the "Background of Invention" section. The Gaynor Minden is widely used. I don't think the Nye shoe has ever been manufactured.

    There's also the strategy that if you can't win by the rules, change the game.

    At a seminar on "Coppelia" organized and presented by Doug Fullington, we were able to see an in-progress reconstruction of the Spinner variation from notation (with the caveat about incompleteness) compared to the Balanchine version. There was discussion in the Q&A's in which the majority opinion, including Peter Boal's, was that the Balanchine version was better. I was fascinated by Petipa's use of space, especially the diagonal, and while it looked "plainer" in steps, it also looked wicked hard to do right.

    According to the venues, the performance dates are: OCPAC -- 24 May-25 Map, and 27 May-29 May Berkeley -- 31 May-1 June, 3-4 June Kennedy Center -- 7 June-12 June and, as RUKen noted, nothing for the NYC performance. I suspect the press release dates included the arrival day for each run. The 13 June is a Monday, and could be the NY arrival date. I have a question though: the Kennedy Center site says only that the rep is "Napoli" and "A Folk Tale", but doesn't have a date range for each, nor mention that only the third act of "Napoli" will performed. Each ballet is a full-length according to the RDB site. Should I assume they just haven't told us which days each ballet will be performed? Argh, that RDB is dancing in Berkeley the same weekend that Ballet Arizona does its all-Balanchine program (and is doing its first "Monumentum pro Gesualdo") and the opening weekend for PNB's new "Giselle". Argh.
