I'll do my best to get up there. If not, right outside the main entrance afterwards.
Got it - no problem if you can't get/don't want to come up. Outside afterwards is fine.

Note to Marcelo Gomes: Honey, white is not your color. Please have it written into future contracts that you do not have to wear white tights (Siegfried, Swan Lake) or a white ice cream suit (Ivan, Firebird) ever again.
You haven't seen him do Apollo.
Thanks Marge. That's was fascinating.
We all had to take "character" and so did my daughter-and now I don't think I see it ever anymore in curriculums in my neck of the woods. Rarely. We saw classes taught at Southwestern Regional Ballet Association Festival about 3 years ago-that's the last. Of course this video was more encompassing about presentation than what I'm refering to as "character class" but it is still something I wish was still taught more widely. I think the emphasis nowdays (grass roots level anyway) is on technique and "tricks" and getting your variation down perfect for YAGP. Depth, acting, character-not so much.
Every dance student should watch this video!
One of these days I'm gonna crash your night at the Ballet, Marge and EMason!! Sounds like you are having fun- I have been dying to catch one for quite some time now. Your recommendations are most welcome on what to see!
I don't know. Angel's company has been having some financial difficulties, what with the state of Spain's economy and the eurozone crisis. He might be focusing on paying the present dancers' wages before poaching ABT members. Nevertheless, I wish him all the best with his company. Vaya con Dios!Rumor has it that Angel is going to poach some more ABT members before he goes back to Barcelona. Good riddance to Kevin if this is true!
I want to go to Sarasota!

I'm intrigued by the "Carreno's Collectibles". I wonder what sort of items he plans to put up for sale? Something more interesting than a smelly old shoe, I hope.
Just as an FYI, I've heard great things about Iain Webb and the Sarasota Ballet. I tried to get there last February, but couldn't make it work out.
