dirac Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Stories on David Hallberg's appointment to lead the Australian Ballet. ArtForum Quote Since 2010, Hallberg was been a guest artist at the Australian Ballet, which has an annual budget of $46 million and troupe of around eighty dancers. He became its first international resident artist in 2017, after recovering from a serious injury to his ankle that forced him to take a two-year hiatus from the stage. Broadway World Quote While David Hallberg will not take up the role of our Artistic Director until next year, he will work with David McAllister and Executive Director Libby Christie this year as the Company plans for the future.

dirac Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 A review of Demo: Now 2020 by George Jackson for danceviewtimes. Quote There wasn’t the familiar sparkle. This series of highbrow vaudeville acts usually comes to a sizzling climax. Not this time. I don’t think the coronavirus can be blamed. Moreover, the program got off to a good and snappy start with “1.2.3.4.5.6”, a rhythmic phrase danced, recited and clapped by three men (Lil Buck, Robbie Fairchild, Dario Natarelli) and one woman (Melissa Toogood). Then our host and curator, Damian Woetzel, appeared and was his suave self, giving the evening a spoken introduction. What followed, though, seemed random fragments. Even variety shows need substance. Link to comment
