dirac Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 A review of Birmingham Royal Ballet by Louise Levene in The Financial Times. Quote Don Quixote is a star vehicle but it allows dancers to shine at every level, calling on reserves of virtuosity many had forgotten they had — “I got to use all my Russian jumps again!” said the Kirov-trained American Mathias Dingman, who danced Basilio at the premiere. On Tuesday BRB’s dancing was a little uneven: not everyone jumped well, footwork was fudged, landings lumpy, but the ensembles managed a persuasive Russo-Spanish accent and there were strong solo performances. Alexander Yap was crisp and witty as the preening matador Espada, Javier Rojas a lusty, sure-footed gypsy king. Amor, usually danced by a pocket ballerina, is now a man in an off-the-shoulder tunic arrangement: twiddly, fiddly and irredeemably camp. Link to comment
dirac Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet concludes a five-year fundraising effort and starts construction on a new theater. Quote ............These funds will ensure the sustainability of the organization and fulfill two of founder Marcia Dale Weary’s dreams: first, to ensure her legacy and that CPYB continues long beyond her, and two, to have a theater in Carlisle. This theater would, in her mind, educate the community about the arts, bring people together, and show what classical ballet can do for young children. Link to comment
