YouTube vids

[EvilNinjaX]

I won't be posting any more youtube vids here. I try to keep it "under-the-radar" esp w/commercial works and B-Trust works. But they seem to often propagate and i find links on other sites. So i'm going to stop. However, if any of you have youtube accounts and want to friend me, I would be happy to and then share my vids privately with you.

ping me here :

And indeed, it seems to be gone already.

Somebody else posted this link to a Chinese site many months ago. I won't name the choreographer or the ballet, so it doesn't show up on a search engine. I'm amazed it's still on-line today, and I have to assume a certain Trust has tried to get it taken off-line. One oddity, though: the RealPlayer "download this video" function doesn't work on this one. I have no idea why. But the search box near the top of the page recognizes (our) Latin alphabet, and other goodies turn up with a little searching.

It's no secret that the Chinese lack of respect for international intellectual property rights is a huge issue. Here's a recent editorial from the NY Times on the problems:

Firefox, with one of several free plug-ins offered for the purpose, downloaded from this site. In general, keepvid.com is easy to use, although not every time, everywhere; it - or they - didn't work on this site, for example.

The Russian site is pretty impressive, with over 150 items and counting, many about an hour long or longer, not just clips. The C/B items are good quality, with smooth sound in sync with the picture, at least in one case notorious in another edition. The VHS issues were like that, but I haven't seen the streakiness here that tends to reveal that source. (Maybe I'm wearing out my VHS tapes? How could that happen?...)

Thanks, lmspear, for posting this link. I just watched the whole 50 minutes of it. Wonderful!

Thanks from me, too, Imspear. I watched some of the other "installments" on the Russian's site, but the tone of Marga's remarks applies there too. It was the Age of Gold for those of us who were there, in contrast to the Age of Silver that's upon us.

Well put and exactly how I feel.

Thank god for Balletoman. He's the Julian Assange of ballet!

Will we ever see a cast like that for Divertimento again?

Those women had gravitas!
