dirac Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thank you, Paquita. I certainly hope this ends up on DVD at some point. Link to comment
bart Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wow! Add film-making to the list of careers that dancers are entering after they retire from the stage. I still enjoy my video of Tennant with Nureyev in the NBofC production of Nureyev's Sleeping Beauty. Wonderful news. Link to comment
sparklesocks Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'll have to add Bravo to my cable package so that I can watch/tape this!! Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Just a reminder that Celia Franca: A Tour de Force will air on Canada's Bravo network tomorrow, 23 October, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/6:00 p.m. Pacific. www.bravo.ca Link to comment
mom2 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Where I live this show was listed to air on Sunday the 22nd. It didn't. In fact, the television guide in the Globe and Mail actually had TWO different programs listed to air at the same time on the 22nd. Grr. Thankfully there is Ballet Talk, and I also know that Bravo tends to air dance programs on Monday evenings. So...I'll turn in again tonight (this time the sattelite actually gives me hope that the Celia Franca show will air)....and hope for the best! m2 Link to comment
