Natalia Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sorry but I had a hearty chuckle when I received my 2013/2014 Kennedy Center Ballet Subscription brochure the other day. The section describing Boston Ballet's run (June 3/5, 2014) carries the following warning in italics: "Please note: Bella Figura contains upper body female nudity." I don't recall reading such warnings when I saw the ballet in Europe. Jiri Kylian's Bella Figura will be presented, along with Petr Zuska's D.M.J. 1953-1977. The web version of the announcement also mentions that a to-be-determined Balanchine ballet will be performed. http://www.kennedy-center.org/events/?event=BOBSH Link to post
abatt Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think upper body female nudity is passe in Europe, but not here in the States. Link to post
cubanmiamiboy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 "Please note: Bella Figura contains upper body female nudity." Easy to picture, since everythig from Monet's Olympia to Goya's Maja Desnuda to MIchelangelo's David are forbidden to show in art class in the public educational system, so...again... Link to post
Mme. Hermine Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I wonder if a dancer who objects would be allowed to opt out? Link to post
its the mom Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yes, they are. There were a number of dancers who decided not to dance in Bella. Link to post
