Amour Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Some interesting offerings in dance. -A preview of ABT's 75th Anniversary Season -Wendy Whelan and Edward Watson in new works. - A preview of Justin Peck's new ballet for MCB http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/29/guggenheims-works-process-series-to-offer-dancing-singing-and-more/?ref=arts Thank you abatt (and happy New Year). I got my pamphlet directly from Works and Process. All of these shows will be live streamed. They are: Justin Peck, 1/18 @ 7:30 and all of the ABT Performances: 4/19 @ 3:00pm, 4/19 @ 7:30pm and 4/20 @ 7:30pm. The first ABT talk will cover dancers from 1940-1965; then is dancers from 1965-1990; and the last group (the McKenzie dancers) 1990-2015. There is no date yet announced for the Whelan/Watson.

Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. They all sound intriguing, but I'm especially pleased to see these discussion about ABT dancers, particularly the earliest cohort. I imagine that they'll just be able to touch on the surface, but even so! Link to comment

I read somewhere, but not sure where (sorry, it's the holidays; all days run into one another by the end of them ) that PBS will have a special on ABT's 75th anniversary, in May, I think. Sorry I don't have more info, but we'll hear more on this as the Spring approaches. On another note, seeing NYCB Jan 25 3pm!!! Yayyyy!!!! Link to comment
abatt Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 The PBS documentary will be by Ric Burns. (Is he related to Ken Burns?) Link to comment
KarenAG Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The PBS documentary will be by Ric Burns. (Is he related to Ken Burns?) Yes, he is Ken Burns' younger brother and I think he produced or was somehow involved in Nancy Biurski's Afternoon of a Faun. Link to comment
sandik Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ric B has done several excellent documentaries, mostly in the style of his brother (complex use of still images) -- his film about the Statue of Liberty is especially fine. Link to comment
