    She said that Balanchine found out when she was five months pregnant and was rehearsing Leto in Apollo when NYCB was still performing the complete version. The emotion of pretending to give birth on stage caused her to burst into tears, and he figured it out, after which she fessed up. She continued to dance for a couple of months, and then he asked her to teach at the school, so the students could see what "pregnant woman looks like." (I assume as a scare tactic, given his general feelings about pregnant dancers.) I was thinking a lot about her the other day watching Olivier Wevers dance in the PNB mixed bill. I wish they had been contemporaries, so that they could have danced together.

    In Western Massachusetts, right around the corner from Tanglewood.

    I think the line is between whether the gesture is authentic and contextual -- an authentic gesture, like sticking out the tongue in Maori dance and ritual, can be given exaggerated weight, for example -- or whether it's shorthand for a cultural stereotype.

    I wonder if there's a difference between performing in national companies on an extended contract, rather than in other companies, where contracts are short-term. I think Kent was unique among NYCB dancers in than she had hers relatively young, while most of the other mothers tended to be in their mid-to-late thirties. Having a baby while in the corps and/or in one's twenties is virtually unheard of for the women in major US companies. POB sounds like it has a much healthier family situation in that regard.

    This was my fault. The original matching "end-quote" was missing, and I mistakenly put it in the wrong place. I've edited it to correct the mistake. My apologies to both kfw and paolo.

    Giannina, I just finished reading an article in the Washington Post on the topic, and I'm going to jump in. Several Danish political cartoonists used charicatures of Muhammad; they were published in Danish newspapers and reprinted elsewhere in the West. Images of Muhammad are forbidden under Islamic law. There has been outrage expressed within the Muslim community worldwide, with protests that have turned violent, as well as threats against the cartoonists and the Danish nation.

    It's hard to say how common it is. In the upper ranks at PNB, Louise Nadeau, who is contemporarly of Peter Boal, has a young daughter, and Julie Tobiasson had two children during her career.
