pherank Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well I don't doubt what Braylock-Olivier is writing, but I think this policy must only be affecting Nutcracker costumes (or certain costumes). I don't recall seeing censored photos like this before. Even so, it's a policy that interferes with SFB's visual presentation to the world. Images of censored costumes are neither positive nor professional looking. And insisting that there can't be any informal (unofficial) photos of the dancers wearing their costumes is obnoxious. Reminds me of the Balanchine Trust's old policy of yanking any video footage of Balanchine ballets from the Internet. (Great way to make an impression and educate young people about the beauty and "importance" of your repertoire!) Note: Braylock-Olivier does have a photo of herself in the Sugar Plum Fairy costume online, and I've seen photos of various dancers in their Snow Queen costumes. Link to comment
pherank Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) This kind of relates to the last few posts (uncensored!), but mostly it's a nice compendium - Mathilde Froustey posted a visual record of the main roles she has danced while at POB and SFB: Edited January 1, 2020 by pherank Link to comment

I believe that she's guested elsewhere as SPF, but I don't think she's ever danced it at SFB. Link to comment
