kfw Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 One more thing about Jacobs: as Helene mentioned, she's married to James Wolcott, a heavily mannered writer himself. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they read each other's stuff. Link to comment
canbelto Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 One thing about Jacobs' writing is that I think she spends too much time talking about what a dancer looks like, and not enough on how the dancer actually dances. Her descriptions on Part for example. It's a mistake Arlene Croce, for instance, never made. Good dance critics I think always give you an idea of how a dancer moved. Link to comment
Mashinka Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Good dance critics I think always give you an idea of how a dancer moved. Absolutely! And say what you like about Osipova – she can certainly move. Link to comment
