A bit of fun from Stuttgart Ballet

[innopac]

A character analysis test... who are you? Take the Crankocast test.

[Mme. Hermine]

Hmm Katherina in Taming of the Shrew, with a heavy dose of Lady Capulet and Odette....

[Lidewij]

I'm Olga in Onegin, and second and third are Juliet and Lady Capulet..

[atm711]

oh, well--Katharina, Lady Capulet and the nurse

[Barbara]

Tatiana,nurse,Odette. That was fun and clever! I enjoyed seeing pics of some of the Stuttgart dancers from the past. I used to see this company fairly often in LA in the late 60s/70s. Loved them and had quite a crush on Richard Cragun and Egon Madsen.

[Mel Johnson]

Gremin. And here I was shooting for Lt. Belaye, but I guess he's not a choice.

[DanceActress]

Tatiana! With a bit of Odette and Odile. What a fun little quiz and clever design.

This test was created by Evan McKie, a principal dancer with The Stuttgart Ballet. He trained at the National Ballet School in Toronto and the Kirov Academy in Washington, D.C. He has also written for The Winger and Dance Magazine and is a friend of mine from back when he was a highly dedicated, passionate 14 year old ballet student and studied a summer with Nadia Veselova, with whom my daughter studied. He continues to be highly dedicated and passionate, a consummate dancer.

Here is the home page of his in-construction website:

Evan McKie

I think when I took this test right after he devised it last year, I was Tatiana!

I had difficulty with the range of options and felt that I was contradicting myself from one question to the next. The result, I am ashamed to admit -- : the Joker from Jeu de Cartes.

The test may have confused my contradictions for deceit.

I certainly hope they are wrong. Or maybe I don't.

[GianninaM]

I find Tatiana's husband especially sympathic; they have a beautiful pas de deux which shows a committment and makes Tatiana's mature choice obvious. However in 2002 I saw Nathen Coppen (no, not Kobborg) as Onegin at RB and I would have been hard pressed to resist him. Jeez!!

1-Onegin's Lenski

2-Romeo

3-Friar Laurence

[JMcN]

I'm absolutely stunned to find I am Juliet!!!

[Petra]

Tatiana

[leonid17]

Like Mel I turned out to be Gremin. My friends thought it should be the Joker in Card Game.

I hope they meant mischievious as played by Christopher Gable and not somewhat spitefully as played by Anthony Dowell.

[Helene]

Another Katharina, with a half order of the Nurse.

I usually don't like sites with lots of moving graphics, but kudos to Evan McKie and the Jealous Kid On/Off Graphics people who worked on the site.

Thank you, innopac, for finding this

[cubanmiamiboy]

Ah...but this is tricky! This is what we think of ourselves...How about if this self-image could be a little bit distorted...? How about telling someone who knows you for a long time-(family member of long time friend)- to do the game ON YOU...? Would the results be the same...?

[Arizona Native]

Cubanmiamiboy -- Fun idea!

Bart -- Me, too -- The Joker from "Jeu de Cartes," with the message, "Congratulations, you've cracked the system." Cute, for sure. Next, I'll have to have my husband take it.

[duffster]

This was great fun. I am Tatiana, the second Juliet, and the third a streetwalker- go figure!

[Rosa]

What a nice site! That was fun. To my surprise, I am Tatiana, Olga, and Juliet.
