chezdancer Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I wondered whether anyone could direct me to the web-page or some other source of information for the Varna IBC. As well, does anyone know whether it is being held in 2006? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffe Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 do you know what dancers from the USA are going to Varna this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbro Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The link so helpfully provided by drb no longer works. A Google search yielded no helpful results. Please visit our Welcome Page, Giraffe, and introduce yourself. We'd love to get to know you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The link so helpfully provided by drb no longer works. The competition, which takes place 15-30 July, gives schedules, rules, acceptable choreography and the like at (via Google): http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:cUUvc...us&ct=clnk&cd=2 But I can find no list of competitors. Perhaps it is too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alter Ego Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 The organization is a bit lets say old fashioned. You probably will never find a competitor list on the net at least no official one. Throughout the competition they also do not update the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G2B4 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Three kids are going from Goh Ballet in Canada, but I can't find any link that works, including drb's ... has anyone got one? Or is it me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helene Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Admin Propeller Beanie On This isn't in response to any post so far, but before the competition heats up, I want to be clear about the rules for posting about Varna, because there were misunderstandings during our discussions of the recent Jackson IBC: 1. Only official news may be posted about competitors and results. This is limited to published or broadcast results and to eye-witness accounts from the point of view of an audience member. The only exception is: 2. If you are a dancer who is already registered here as of today, posting under your own name, you may post your own results. This means: no info from parents, teachers, classmates, friends, or co-competitors. This is standard Ballet Talk policy. We realize that there are different rules on Ballet Talk for Dancers and want to be clear up front. Admin Propeller Beanie Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drb Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 At the moment this site seems to be working, but with Varna, you never know. They just don't seem to care... http://www.varnaibc.org/ It gives rules and programs for the 22nd IBC (this year's) and results for the 21st. Plus some history. So who knows what they may say in the following days... They're Varna, why should they bother, the ballet world is prostrate at their feet.

bart Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm new to following the big international competitions, so I have a question: why does Varna follow Jackson so closely? I thought these competeition were supposed to be spaced more evenly across the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonid17 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm new to following the big international competitions, so I have a question:why does Varna follow Jackson so closely? I thought these competeition were supposed to be spaced more evenly across the calendar. The Varna Ballet Competition was founded in 1964 which makes it the first international competition of its kind. The Jackson Competition originally followed the same rules but has I understand, now amended them. The Varna competition has always been held around the first two weeks of July. It is an audience marathon(or can be) with the competition in the evening and if you are determined enough to gain access, there is the opportunity to watch rehearsals(through the night) and classes in the morning and afternoon as well as stage rehearsals. In the beginning it attracted Vladimir Vassiliev, Natalia Makarova, Eva Evdokimova, Mikhail Barishnikov, Natalia Bessmertnova, Patrick Dupond, Sylvie Guillem, Agnes Letestu, Yoko Morishita, Martin Van Hamel, Evelin Hart, Loipa Araujo, Vladimir Malakhov, Fernando Bujones, Maximilliano Guerrra, Marin Boierou etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drb Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Sofia News Agency reported today: A hotel in Varna, on the Black Sea coast, saw its premises closed off by police on Monday. The reason was a call threat saying there is a bomb planted in the hotel. Police cordoned off the area and evacuated the guests of the hotel - the majority of whom are participants in the last-night closed International Ballet Contest Varna 2006. No explosive was disclosed, so guests and hosts of the hotel returned back to normal routine in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
