Drew Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Thank you for posting. All sounds wonderful, but one thing that leaps out to me is Cornejo and Cojocaru dancing an excerpt from Ashton's Rhapsody. I always thought ABT should have have acquired that ballet for Cornejo when he was at the height of his career and alternate casts might have included other top male dancers who have since retired or departed. Any opportunity to see Cojocaru is a treasure. Looking forward to reading about all of these programs. Edited to add: I have tickets to see Dance Theatre of Harlem about two weeks after they dance the Lopez-Ochoa premier in New York--their program in Atlanta has not, as far as I can tell, been announced anywhere, but I'm hoping they bring that work with them.

bcash Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wow, a lot of new works. I share the excitement over Cojocaru and Rhapsody. But I have no idea what Rennie Harris and American Street Dance Theater are about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deflope Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Not fall but April 3-6, Osipova and Hallberg will be performing Quote The Russian star reunites with special guest ABT principal David Hallberg, with whom she has shared a fabled stage partnership. The pair exhibits their sublime chemistry in a piece created for them by Alexei Ratmansky, one of today's preeminent choreographers, and in the duet from The Leaves Are Fading by Antony Tudor. In Six Years Later, choreographed by Israeli Roy Assaf, noted for his earthy, sensuous movement, Osipova is joined by renowned contemporary dancer Jason Kittelberger (Cedar Lake, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's Eastman). She also pairs with Jonathan Goddard (Richard Alston, Scottish Dance Theatre) in a commissioned premiere by Spain’s Iván Pérez, who creates expressionistic dances full of experimentation. https://www.nycitycenter.org/pdps/2018-2019/Osipova-Hallberg/?utm_source=wordfly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DEV19MemPresaleOnSaleACQ&utm_content=version_A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris has been working with breakdancing styles in concert dance for many years -- he's made some astonishing things. Go see, and let us know what you think.

I'm mostly unfamiliar with Ashton and I was able to appreciate him more watching Cornejo/Cojocaru last night than with Sarasota Ballet this summer. The staging was short and sweet; a few solos full of bravura tricks from Cornejo, and a small live orchestra onstage. Cojocaru has beautifully arched feet and she really brought out the choreography with her fast, light footwork. That piece, plus Petrushka with Tiler Peck/Lil Buck/Brooklyn Mack were the best parts of the evening. The latter updated the "petrushka" theme with juggalo-inspired makeup -- interesting fusion of classical and contemporary, with Tiler on pointe. As for Lil Buck, WOAH! I have never seen anybody move like that ... he manages to make his body look like a distorting digital graphic. Very surreal. The other two acts were blah... dancers were all talented and the break dance piece was fun to watch, but both lacked the sophistication and extra edge of the other two.

Tapfan Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 He's getting paid and is getting seen by audiences that probably didn't know he exists, but I'm not a fan of the Lil' Buck/ ballet collaborations. Ballet has an infamous habit of exploiting dancers in other dance forms in an attempt to appear more artistically or culturally "woke" than they actually are, or are expected to be. It's an attempt to wear pop culture like a cloak of hipness. And this form of slumming with their so-called artistic lessors gives them an excuse to not bother with actually expanding and advancing their own art form. You know ballet is stuck in a self-reverential time warp when the big news is that Freed of London is now making brown and bronze-colored pointe shoes.

Gaynor Minden started doing this a few years ago, but suddenly Freed does it, and the media goes viral with their "wokeness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
