dirac Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 A review of Northern Ballet by Teresa Guerreiro for CultureWhisper. Quote Casanova's life was marked by constant scandal and you couldn't tell all of it in one ballet. Wisely, the director and choreographer of Northern Ballet's Casanova, Kenneth Tindall, didn't try. Instead, he decided to concentrate on three women who, judging from Casanova's own memoirs, were particularly important in his life, and they provide meaty roles for some of Northern Ballet's leading women dancers.

dirac Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 A review of Australian Ballet by Ilona Landgraf in her blog, "Landgraf on Dance." Quote Possokhov’s strength is his ability to create his figures through distinct steps. Unlike quite a few of his colleagues, he doesn’t have a signature choreographic handwriting that ultimately leads all the characters to move in the same style. Instead, his choreographic language is inventive, fresh, and intense. The odd movements performed by Karenin (Adam Bull) while he waits at the train station, for example, speak volumes about his stern rigidity. Natural physicality, let alone sensuality, is foreign to him – a heritage, that he successfully passes on his son Seryozha (Lukas Elliott). Anna (Robyn Hendricks), by comparison, thirsts for emotionality and passion, evident in the steamy first-night pas de deux with Vronsky (Callum Linnane, who was promoted to principal after the opening night of “Anna Karenina”).
