    On September 18 from 5:30-7:00pm, Twyla Tharp will participate in a lecture demo, with some dance excerpts with orchestra. Afterwards there will be a Q&A with audience, including press. Full subscribers can order free tickets -- one per subscription -- starting today, through 25 August. All additional tickets are $15. I just called to order mine, and there is assigned seating in McCaw Hall. Subscribers to mini-subscriptions ($15) and the general public ($20) can order tickets. The box office number is 206.441.2424. http://www.pnb.org/season/lecture-demos.html

    The new craze in cricket is 20/20. It a fast-paced game, with 20 overs (120 bowls) for each side, and it's quite exciting. The teams with depth and stamina aren't as advantaged, and since cricket is a streak game, that can go both ways. Cricket is clearly established as a sport; ballroom dancing is not, and I think it would be more difficult to be accepted as a judged sport. However, I assume cricket has been rejected so far as being too limited geographically, although it is nearly a religion on three continents, and too identified with the British empire. I wonder if UK will put it forward as a host demo sport in 2012. My favorite parts are when the participants snark back

    Robert La Fosse made it a point to describe the difference between partnering the much more independent ballerinas at NYCB and the ABT ballerinas, in his experience. La Fosse describes an entire drug culture during his Studio 54 days, but his book is rarely mentioned in context with "Dancing on My Grave". He was never demonized the way Kirkland was.

    I couldn't resist linking to Claudia La Rocco's latest blog entry ("Culturalist"). My Indian co-workers must be thrilled though, that Abhinav Bindra won gold in the 10m Air Rifle. So why is baseball an Olympic sport but not cricket?

    Ahem, just a marriage between a VP Marketing and a "family wealth management adviser" with a law degree (I'll be more astonished when a plumber marrying a mail carrier make it to the NYT.) But that they can and that they did. Which man is which? The groom on the left has a fantastic smile and the groom on the right is swoonworthy.

    Hi group!

    Helene replied to RobH's topic in Welcome

    Welcome to Ballet Talk, RobH! It's never too late to love this beautiful art form. If you ever have a question that doesn't seem to have a home, please ask it in our Discovering the Art forum. We do hope you'll post about what you see and like.

    Hello peeps! =D

    Helene replied to jas15's topic in Welcome

    Welcome to Ballet Talk, jas15. As the audience site, we'd love to hear about performances you see. As a dance student, you also may like our sister site, Ballet Talk for Dancers, where you'll find many fellow ballet students. (The site requires separate registration, but we ask you to use the same board name to make things simple.)

    That was a lovely gesture. to Yao Wei on her promotion.

    Wow, congratulations to him and to Dutch National Ballet, which also snagged PNB's Casey Herd. I hope he has a wonderful time living in Europe and dancing with the company. In English we've abbreviated the company as "DNB"; the company is named "Dutch National Ballet" in the English version of the official site. In Dutch the company name is "Het Nationale Ballet".

    On the classics I haven't read list, the ones I have read would make a much shorter list. The big two that I started but was unable to finish are "Moby Dick" -- the bookmark is still at the halfway mark from about twenty years ago -- and "The Scarlet Letter". I've never been able to get past the first 50 pages of the first LOTR book or past the first chapter of "The Hobbit." I found "Anna Karenina" a great read, but I was shocked that they get together so quickly and so uneventfully. "Middlemarch" is my favorite novel, but "Daniel Deronda" almost killed me. It took everything I had to slog through that one.

    That's a great strategy, carbro. I had the same timeout issues ordering Kirov tickets.

    Julie Kent's talking in "Center Stage" makes the movie, in my opinion. Of course, there is the entertainment value of Ethan Stiefel riding his motorcycle onstage during the Susan Stroman travesty. Here's the list of cast members for "Center Stage"; check out the ABA Student roster: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210616/fullcredits#cast Some of the dancers in "The Red Shoes" have extensive acting credits; others have only the film or dancing roles in other movies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040725/fullcredits#cast The dancing roles are listed as "Corps de Ballet (uncredited). Moira Shearer's IMDB bio lists a 1972 appearance as "Host" for the Eurovision Song Contest http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790452/

    I'm able to reach the site using toasteroven's link. Ms. Kozlova is quite glam.

    The novices were the teenagers with their mothers in tow. I believe Tchinarova said there were eight Mamas on the Bellet Russe tours.

    Korbes would have been nowhere without the work and, being injury-prone, the emotional fortitude to come back after many injuries, but when Peter Boal saw her and danced with her in Apollo when she was 14, he knew and convinced her parents to allow her to move to NYC as a young teen not speaking English.

    And then there's just self-medication.

    Lynn Seymour gave an after-glowy review of Martins' in her memoir, but, again, that wasn't Kirkland's complaint.
  25. Helene
    Kirkland's complaint about Martins in her first book was that during their relationship, he made a show of saying he'd stand up to Heather Watts, but didn't.
