emilienne Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't know whether this is more or less orthodox than Villella's Corsaire pdd. This television production of Brigadoon has never been released on video. Link to comment

This television production of Brigadoon has never been released on video. This is so wonderful! When I was a very young student dancer in Chicago, I was taught this very dance by James Jamieson, who was at the time performing Harry Beaton in "Brigadoon" while on tour. He was a guest teacher at our school. My memory has been rocked! Link to comment

Well, please remember I was a young dancer and in no way a professional (not yet, anyway!). But I do remember him speaking about our 'ballon' and always pointing the feet. Also, the way we 'carried' our upper body and head. Important lessons for a young dancer, for sure. And as it was a dance for a male dancer, we surely must have struggled a bit trying to do as he asked and taught. But these are experiences one doesn't forget. Link to comment

Downloadable for your private viewing pleasure in indifferent resolution. The original story has been modernized a bit for this production: https://archive.org/details/Brigadoon1966 Link to comment
