silvy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I wonder if someone could help me locate the cover of Newsweek where it read that "Ballet is woman" as quoted by Balanchine. I thought it would be nice to show it at a lecture I am preparing on Balanchine. Thanks so much Silvy Link to comment
hbl Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Are you sure it was Newsweek. The recent Gottlieb book on Balanchine has a reprint of an interview that I think appeared in Time during the late 50's or early 60's. Can't find my copy - strange since I read it just a few months ago.... But that might put you on the right track. I do remember a Time story about the 20 hot new ballerinas in the early 70's that included Heather Watts. Thinking about it made me feel very old when she retired. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Oh, it was Newsweek all right. No male dancer who lived through that era can forget that. To find out which issue, consult the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. Link to comment
