pherank Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 A bit off topic, but… A few nights ago I turned on one of my local PBS stations, and I saw Yuri Possokhov, Maria Kochetkova and Gennadi Nedvigin working on Diving into the Lilacs. The documentary is named Designers of the Dance, and features a lot of dance footage (rehearsal and performance) as well as interviews. The entire broadcast can be seen at the link below - for I don't know how long. The Diving into the Lilacs segment is the first portion of the documentary:https://www.wfyi.org/programs/designers-of-the-dance/television/designers-of-the-dance Yuri Possikhov’s Diving into the Lilacs Alexei Ratmansky's The Nutcracker Leonid Lavrovsky’s Romeo & Juliet Lar Lubovitch’s Othello Alastair Marriott’s Lieder Link to comment

I enjoy seeing the rehearsal footage, but there's always stops and starts, and unintended humor or frustrations. It's nice to be able to see some continuous performance footage so we get the flow of the choreography. There are a few moments, however, when Nedvigin or Kochetkova disappears off camera - that wasn't very good planning of the camera positions. But generally, it's watchable and enjoyable.

pherank Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ben Freemantle mentioned on Instagram that he danced his first classical pas de deux (as Prince Desiré) at Stern Grove. I hadn't thought about it before, but it's pretty unusual that he was promoted to Principal without much experience in classical lead roles at SFB. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0e4_VSgFQV/ Link to comment
