One Thousand Pieces, March 15-16, and 21-24
tutu replied to Helene's topic in Pacific Northwest Ballet
Really hope they fix the spelling of Destiny Wimpye’s name throughout! -
Found this interesting from the article: Now, Kikta is hungry to develop both her partnering skills and the more delicate side of her dancing, opportunities not always afforded to her because of her height. “She’s not somebody who’s going to hold back, so finding the person to appropriately handle her kind of movement has been hard,” says Tracey. She adds that Kikta’s recent partners—Aarón Sanz, Gilbert Bolden III, and Walker—have all been excellent fits. “She has those beautiful long lines and an airy disposition,” says Tracey, who’d love to see Kikta in ballets like “Emeralds” and as Titania in Midsummer Night’s Dream. “She can find and capture some of those more introspective roles.”

I just can’t justify $120 when this is the only program I’d watch, but I’ll live vicariously through your review! -

Oh man, I wish they had single tickets for the digital performance. I can’t justify the cost of a digital season pass for just this one, but would love to hear the reviews! -
This is shocking — what’s NYC’s living wage threshold?

A really long time: Fairchild first performed Ballo in her SAB workshop, coached by Merrill Ashley. Fairchild is looking so, so great these days, but I know we don’t have that many more years with Fairchild in the role. I’m going to miss her Ballo when she retires it.

I’d like to think that Bolden is well on his way to becoming one of the great NYCB partners, in the vein of Soto, Angle, etc. From what I remember of seeing him as Cavalier, he has the demeanor, the princely humility, down pat.

That’s the distinction I’m feeling here as well. Bradley’s debut can and should be individually celebrated. I just am uncomfortable with a review of the quality of the performance being included in comments from management. I may be splitting hairs here — the only piece of Whelan’s post that makes me cock my head is the use of the words “exciting” and “Bravo,” which to me imply judgment on quality of performance. Otherwise the separate post, language, press coverage, etc. seems entirely appropriate.

George Balanchine's The Nutcracker Nov 24-Dec 27+Digital Dec 18-27

Any reports from the Guillams Dewdrop or the Edwards SPF? -
AHA! Then we may be able to make it after all. Thank you @abatt
-
Oh, that sounds just wonderful. I think that Bradley is just such a special dancer — such presence! — and with Nadon as SPF? Utterly dreamy. If we can manage to get tickets without breaking the bank, we’ll try to see this cast. Edited to Add: Just called the box office — they confirmed that Nutcracker is completely sold out besides standing room for the run. Bad news for us, but great news for the company!
-
I tend to agree. It’s possible to mark and celebrate a historic occasion without commenting on the quality of the performance. That said, I would have just loved to see Bradley’s Dewdrop — have thought for years she’d be wonderful in the role. Any reports?

Has Alexa Maxwell done a turn as SPF yet? I’d love to see her in the role.
