dirac Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 An interview with Lauren Cuthbertson in Harper's Bazaar. Quote Hermione is a particular favourite character of Cuthbertson's. She originated the role with Wheeldon back in 2014 and therefore has a special fondness for it. Contrary to some of the other roles she has initiated, such as the titular Alice in Wheeldon’s Alice in Wonderland, Hermione is not an ingenue but a queen. "It is not a part you can really grow out of," she says. Motherhood is an essential component of Hermione’s story, but having had two daughters since she first inhabited the role has, she says, not altered her interpretation. Link to comment
dirac Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Ashton Roxander dances Puck in Philadelphia Ballet's "The Dream." Quote Costumes are often passed along over decades when ballet companies rent them from each other. The family’s last name, Roxander, is even on the inside. "I think the kind of like timeless nature of our art is like we get to climb the same mountain, so to speak, as our inspirations and predecessors because these ballets keep coming back," Roxander said.

dirac Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Live electronics join the Atlanta Ballet's orchestra for a new work. Quote And the pit orchestra for “The Space Between” might be large, but “Toccata for Orchestra and Live Electronics” — the new piece Santora and Cain created for “The Space Between” — doesn’t resemble the usual orchestral ballet music one might recognize from “The Nutcracker” or “The Firebird.” In one corner of the pit sits Cain’s luminous workstation, where he manipulates sound using Ableton Live and his own software, Ekwe.
