Alexandra Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I was surprised no one posted about the Trocks' recent New York season. Did anyone go?
andycrawford Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I was surprised no one posted about the Trocks' recent New York season. Did anyone go? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i often wonder why the trocks do it .... men in pointe shoes .... i can't even imagine that kind of pain !

Old Fashioned Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 The Trocks were in Houston this past weekend...I've been dying to see them forever but didn't go. I'll have plenty of chances next year, though. I wonder why they haven't been reviewed in the Chronicle yet.
Paul Parish Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Dunno, Old-Fashioned, but my hunch is that criticss here are waiting out of courtesy to Cal Performances, who're presenting them AGAIN in the Bay Area later this season. the Trocks did have a one-off in San Rafael a week or 2 ago. Don't miss them. there are certain values in their dancing that are REAL ballet values but you don't see them anywhere else, they're so old-fashioned. And besides, the more you love ballet, and the more you know about it, the funnier they are.
Old Fashioned Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 They perform frequently in NYC, though, don't they? I'm moving next year.

andycrawford Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 not to mention the false eyelashes....o the heartbreak <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol yeah ! but some of them do it better than some of the corps girls i've seen here and there !

I was going to watch them someday (I love comedy of all sorts) but now I'm very interested. And what are the real ballet values you are talking about?
Estelle Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 May I recommend two recent articles by Mary Cargill and Leigh Witchel in the Dance View Times about some performances by the Trocks ? http://www.danceviewtimes.com/2005/Winter/01/Trocks1.htm http://www.danceviewtimes.com/2005/Winter/01/Trocks2.htm and also an older article by Leigh on his web site: http://members.aol.com/lwitchel/990424.htm
