  1. Does anybody know where I might be able to see a listing of the places they are touring? I couldn't find anything on the web when I looked.
  2. I believe they performed Cinderella here a few months ago, but I could not go so I don't really know much about them.
  3. Thanks so much guys! Your info was incredibly helpful! I think my paper turned out great. I turned it in, so we will see what my teacher thinks. *Crossing my fingers* Its a really big grade, and you guys helped a ton!
  4. I can't seem to find that thread when I searched using Claude Bessy as a key word. Do you remember what forum it was in? Any other search suggestions?
  5. That is perfect, Mr. Johnson! And I will search for that thread, GWTW. Thanks for all your help! The paper is due tomorrow so I didn't get a chance to do the Lexis search because my uncle was out of the country. Oh well. The information I have is good enough. Thanks a lot, everybody!
  6. Which specific person in their history who had a particularly unexceptional body that I could highlight? Somebody whose 'flaw' would be apperant to those who are not familiar with ballet
  7. Does anybody know about any ballet companies that accept a wide variety of body types?
  8. Thank you!! My uncle is a lawyer so I will give a try. That was the latest I had on the Keefer situation as well, but thanks for the info.
  9. I am really sorry if this isn't allowed, for a few reasons. One, I ask this to find information for a paper I am writing. I am not really asking for help with the homework, just help with the sources. Also, it kind of has to do with eating disorders, but not completely. Please delete if it's not allowed. I have looked around a lot and havn't been very successful so I thought I'd give this a shot. So here's the deal. I am writing a paper that has to do with the 'ideal ballerina body' and its kind of an ambiguous topic and I plan to narrow it down as I find information because I wasn't sure what kind of stuff I was going to come across. Right now I wanted to focus on lawsuits similar to the one brought against the Bolshoi Ballet by Anastasia Volochkova. I have some info on that case, and also on one from a few years ago brought against the San Francisco Ballet School by a mother after her daughter got rejected. So I have thoes two, but I don't know the final court rulings on either of them. I also wondered if there have been any similar cases to these two. (basically cases brought against companies about body type etc.) Have any of these cases actually been won by whoever was going against the company? Also (I feel like I am going on forever...sorry!) I wanted to know if there were any classical ballet companies that have really broken the barrier and is hiring dancers outside of the normal body type. By the way, I am trying to present all views without a bias and this post is related specifically to one side of the argument I am presenting, so I am not stating personal views or anything. I am only looking for information! I feel like this is a rather disjointed post, and I apologize!
  10. I was thinking Herrera/Coreno. you are lucky though, living right in Chicago. I've gotta drive 3ish hours. But does anybody have more opinions? The big decision for me is Herrera/Coreno or Murphy/Stiefel...any help?
  11. I was just about to post with the exact same question! Good thing I saw this first!
  12. I was wondering if I could get any suggestions on ballets that were made up of only female dancers. This would be very helpful!
