dirac Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 A review of New York City Ballet by Mary Cargill for danceviewtimes.com. Quote Afanasenkov and Riccardo made “Movements” equally exciting, though I expect no one would like the music to be longer. Afanasenkov danced with a fierce independence and a triumphant nonchalance which gave a tang to the unexpected moves; I loved the way she grabbed her toes and pulled her leg as if it were the most natural move in the world. Riccardo’s fluid support, intense concentration, and sculpted dancing set her off perfectly. Link to comment

dirac Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 A review of New York City Ballet's gala performance by Gia Kourlas in The New York Times. Quote The visionary part was a stretch, but it was a repertory evening that seemed to fall into place the usual City Ballet way: through the music — a piano concerto, a cello concerto and piano selections by Philip Glass. As the night dragged on, however, the program lost its zing. Two sets of speeches would have been bad enough, but there was also a film. Even at a gala, shouldn’t the dancing come first?
