dirac Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 A review of New York City Ballet by Ivy Lin for Bachtrack. Quote Have you ever watched a ballet and thought “great ideas, horrible execution”? That was what I felt when watching Pam Tanowitz’s Law of Mosaics. Tanowitz is a choreographer of obvious intelligence. She weaves together Merce Cunningham-like movements and randomized structure with contemporary ballet. She usually chooses cerebral music that adds to the “brain over heart” vibe of her ballets. She deploys dancers with some skill. Link to comment
dirac Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Carolina Ballet presents "Cinderella." Quote To wrap up the season, the ballet is performing a brand new version of "Cinderella." Margaret Severin-Hansen joined the Carolina Ballet for its first season 26 years ago as a founding member. She played Cinderella in the past, but now she’s moved on to the fairy godmother. “What I enjoy most about being the fairy godmother is that it's a fairy, so it's not a person,” Severin-Hansen said. “So it has a very ethereal feel towards it.” Link to comment
