Helene Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I've only seen a few of the men --Helimets, Walsh (in Melitons in Nutcracker in Houston), and maybe Esteban Hernandez -- in any featured roles, but I have seen most of the women, and that casting is making me drool... Link to comment

Josette Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Mathilde Froustey danced in The Fifth Season on Saturday, April 16, 2022. She is not dancing to her full technical powers that we are used to seeing, but I have say that she had a slip mid-solo and went down to the floor that was unbelievably graceful. And then she got up and did a gorgeous en dedans double pirouette en attitude derriere. Also remarkable was WanTing Zhao with Henry Sidford as her partner. She always puts forth a point of view. She was the one female dancer who dared not to smile and she gave a compelling performance. It has been wonderful to see Henry Sidford given so many opportunities to dance this season. I saw Possukhov's Magrittomania for the first time on April 15th, brilliantly led by Joe Walsh and YY Tan. What a remarkable and witty work. Absolutely amazing. Link to comment
