dirac Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 An interview with Tiler Peck. Quote “It’s three movements, and I loved the differences—some moments were really exciting, others are very tender, others have a folky sound to them,” she says. “I could showcase a lot of different styles.” It helped that Andrew Litton, City Ballet’s music director, gave it enthusiastic support. “He was like, ‘The orchestra is gonna go crazy, they are going to love playing this,’” Peck adds. As its title suggests, the piece requires two pianos, between which Poulenc creates a playful, chattering dialogue. Link to comment
dirac Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 A review of "La Strada" by Jenny Gilbert for The Arts Desk. Quote Not that the show doesn’t contain many pleasingly fluid sequences of dance, which sometimes soar. Choreographer Natalia Horečná knows her craft and exploits the extraordinary capabilities of her star, Alina Cojocaru (who commissioned this project), with flair (Main picture: Alina Cojocaru with Mick Zeni). But her loose filleting of Fellini’s narrative, far from finding the film’s beating heart, ends up making something quite alien, full of unforeseen stops and detours, and multiple bumps in the road.
