Abi gets second cast of Theme & Variations. Katie Morgandebuts in Dances at Gathering (what role is she doing, girl in blue?) and Divertimento 15 (She is moving into big roles fast. Can't wait to see her!) Garcia debuting in T&V. Tess debuts in 4th variation of Brahms-Schoenberg quartet. Link to comment
carbro Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks, abatt. The week's full casting (including, for those outside of NYC area who are not fluent with first-name only IDs, dancers' last names ) is here: http://www.nycballet.com/casting/wk10.html...er1_TSMenuID=30 Link to comment
abatt Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 NYCB updated its casting today. It looks like Fairchild and DeLuz in T&V are being replaced by A Stafford and Garcia. Link to comment
Kathleen O'Connell Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 NYCB updated its casting today. It looks like Fairchild and DeLuz in T&V are being replaced by A Stafford and Garcia. When I saw Michelle Wiles in T&V during ABT's 2008 City Center season, my first thought was "Hmmm ... that's about how Abi Stafford would tackle it" (I've never seen Stafford in the role). I guess now I'll have a chance to test my hypothesis. Link to comment
Michael Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Deciphering the the casting for Stars and Stripes, who has the last principal role: is it Lowery as Liberty Belle? Link to comment
abatt Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Deciphering the the casting for Stars and Stripes, who has the last principal role: is it Lowery as Liberty Belle? No, the lead of Liberty Belle is Abi Stafford. Lowery has one of the supporting soloist roles, I believe. Link to comment
rg Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 NYCB casting tends to list the STARS AND STRIPES casts according the order of the regiments. that is, after naming the leading pas de deux dancers (whose movement is set to "Liberty Bell" and "El Capitan"), it gives the names the solo dancers leading, in order, the first, second and third "Campaigns," thus the Corcoran Cadets (originally Kent); the Rifle Regiment (originally Adams and originally given third); and Thunder and Gladiator (originally Barnette and originally given second). so yes, Lowery is cast for the Rifle Reg. (Adams' role). Link to comment
