dirac Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 A review of the English National Ballet in "Giselle" by Stefan Kyriazis in The Sunday Express. Quote It's a mark of the remarkable range of this company that the ENB can field both Akram Khan's spectacularly modern Giselle and also Mary Skeaping's traditional 1971 version that pays such exquisite hommage to the original 1841 Paris Ballet du Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique production.

dirac Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Q&A with Dani Hernández, the new head of the Fernando Alonso National School of Ballet. Quote The thing is that everything is flowing incessantly, especially the arts, the sciences…. It is a fact that the way of doing, of dancing, of interpreting from ten or twenty years ago is not the same as today. These new ways of doing things and these new dancing trends, in which the choreographers are experienced, make the School in some way rethink its methodology; it is not to change, but to adjust and incorporate, based on the academic prism that the School has, which in principle is Cubanness, the identity that defines Cuban dancers.
