carbro Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thank you, rg! If you really, really can't wait and are in NYC or Long Island, WLIW airs the Newshour an hour earlier than Ch. 13. It's Ch. 21 as broadcast and analog cable. For digital or satellite, check listings. Link to comment

Thanks for the heads up!! I usually watch the news hour but not always--I'll definitely make sure tonight is one of those I see. Link to comment
carbro Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I urge everyone to try to catch this. (It will probably be available as a webcast a bit later.) My eyes are brimming with admiration for the man's generosity and real courage. It starts 35 minutes into the broadcast. Link to comment
vrsfanatic Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 A wonderful interview for sure. Try to see it. Link to comment
bart Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Drat! I'm on jury duty and we got a particularly long-winded defense attorney and were kept late. Can anyone give us an idea of what the interview covered? Link to comment
carbro Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Everything you imagine. Baryshnikov Arts Center and his work with younger choreographers (notably Ms. Barton and Mr. Millepied), aging, and the unimaginable fact that people (Baryshnikov agreeing with Jeffrey Brown's characterization of them as "suckers") actually pay money to watch other people doing things on a stage! Plus, MB's plans to appear in four Sam Shepherd plays this fall. The NewsHour page has a link, but it's not working through my browser. Editing to add: It works now; the link opens audio, but no video. Can you believe that?! o: They give Senator Graham the full video treatment, but not a peek at the dancing? So we miss the opportunity to see the Millepied piece, in which the choreographer has the chutzpah to place the man in front of a video of his teenaged self. That was one of the examples of courage I had in mind. Edited July 18, 2007 by carbro Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 ...with one hysterical moment that you'll have to see to believe. Link to comment
rg Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 the plays MB is about to perform are by samuel beckett not sam shepherd - the latter is/was? married to jessica lang, the mother of MB's first child. i don't know if the beckett plays have been specficially identified yet. Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 he has 2 grandchildren now? and mel, do you mean the moment when he's watching himself do pirouettes? Link to comment

That was one of the examples of courage I had in mind. I know, it's terrible. But if you cick Real Audio, it's funny - it's like a read-a-long. Just listen to the interview and read with them, word for word, and when it says 'Here, he dances...' and in '[t]his footage...' and the music comes on, you just have to imagine everything!

Mel Johnson Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 and mel, do you mean the moment when he's watching himself do pirouettes? Yes, there's a loop going on in the film, so he's doing about twenty-something pirouettes from one preparation, but the live Mischa goes upstage with his whole body saying, "What the hell is going on here?"
