dirac Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 A review of the National Ballet of Canada by Paula Citron for Ludwig Van. Quote The mixed program that the National presented, sans intermission I may add, was very clever. George Balanchine’s Serenade (1934) showed off the company’s classical chops (or I should say neoclassical), while Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas (2020) was pure contemporary movement. Pite’s piece also has a huge cast, so we got to see a big chunk of the National’s dancers. A short filler was Jera Wolfe’s lyrical dancefilm Soul. Thus, the program was designed to show a range of dance that demonstrated the company’s versatility. Link to comment

dirac Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Former students of the University of Utah's ballet program level accusations of body shaming, racism, and abuse. Quote Hunter, who now teaches at a nonprofit dance school in the Salt Lake Valley, recalled one critique in which she “was told that my thighs were ruining my line, they were shortening it. And I needed to figure out how to lengthen them,” she said. That’s coded language, Hunter said, “because they’re not allowed to tell us to lose weight any more.” Link to comment
