well, I didnt see a lot of moderation and serenity in the british pro-hunt demonstrators today :rolleyes:
what I mean to say is that I dont believe about these clichés about national characters. maybe because I am the least nationalist person in the world. I am an internationalist. I think that through culture we can get over these nationalist cliches.
I am lucky I like choreographers from all over the world, from balanchine and robbins to neumeier,eifman. from ashton to kylian and duato.
to sday for example,as I am Spanish, I dont watch Balanchine, because my spanish temperament is different from the american temperament is very absurd to me.
I try to see and enjoy all works from choreographers,well at least to give them two opportunities. of course sometimes you are horrified by what you see (Mats Ek),but I think it is wise not to close the door too soon, to give a second opportunity.
this is only my opinion. there´s no intention to hurt anyone´s feelings
finally, both bejart and neumeier have a monumental production. even if people dont like some specific production,this doesnt mean all their works are bad. on the contrary,there are many gems in their productions
