dirac Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 A review of New York City Ballet by Leigh Witchel for dancelog.nyc. Quote If you’ve been watching NYCB for a while, watching Gordon is like watching Damian Woetzel. Gordon takes risks and though he’s got plenty of technique, he’s precipitous rather than precise. He has beautiful ballon, and sprung up with his legs flying apart in beats. In the coda, he sailed in, flew up, then nearly bought the farm in a tour. Yet it was somehow OK. He’s half virtuosity, half swagger, but he’s developed the skill of taking us with him. Link to comment
dirac Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 A review of the Ballet Icons Gala by Amanda Jennings for Bachtrack. Quote It was a pleasure to see visitors from American Ballet Theatre, Herman Cornejo and Skylar Brandt, here in London. They danced together the Black Swan pas de deux, Cornejo’s much-loved artistry and virtuosity undimmed by time. Brandt had a mishap in the fouettés, uncharacteristic of her as she is a superb turner and I have been fortunate to see her on several occasions dancing stylishly in New York. Cornejo also danced with Francesca Hayward in a pas de deux from Christopher Wheeldon’s Like Water for Chocolate, a lovely account. Link to comment
