giannina, i haven't seen one of the mentioned ballets and i didn't read reviews, but i did some searching on the internet.

on the site of the company, www.ndt.nl (you can choose your language english or dutch), there is a list and that list also contains ndt1.l if you click that one, you'll find three options and one of them is ballets....there is a list of their whole repertoire. there is an explanation except for walking mad. that only tells you what music is used and some other information.

further, as i know ndt, it's more modern oriented. they do perform pieces on pointe though, but i don't know if that's the case with one of these ballets.

i hope i helped you a bit with this information.

i discovered balletalert about 1,5 years ago. not started another schoolyear yet, i was searching the internet for some balletsites. as i discovered a very nice address in the past (not a discussion board or whatsoever though) i hoped to find something new. how i got here, i don't know. it might have been with google, it might have been with cyberdance. it also might have been during a search for information for my final paper (which was about ballet).

i think that i lurked around here for less than a week and then subscribed. i really love it here and i got some very helpful information since my first time here.

since that time, i'm addicted and in the first few weeks, i signed up almost every hour (driving my mom crazy with it). now, that i don't have an internet connection in my room where i live during the week, i miss the site. but, it makes it even more fun to come online during the weekends and participate in discussions.

as for my favorites. pirouettes en dehor are much better on my left. split is going easier with my left leg in front....but both are flat and stability is better on my left leg.

good luck with your assignment

Colleen: as for the teaching on one side.....for me it doesn't matter. i practised my elementary on the right first and the barre was on the other side of the room during the exam

~SKIP~

don't have it, but i know that my arthistory teacher is looking for it too. you mean with the one that they dance on the ground (as in: ground from outside).

i recently got a documentary about pina bausch and there was just a little fragment of her rite of spring, but not the whole part

if you find something, could you please let me know??
