2019-2020 Programs and Choreographers

[zebraswan]

I remember when Stephane did her choreo and he said, in the most diplomatic way possible, that he didn't recognize very much of the program that she skated in competition. Not surprised that he hasn't choreographed for her again after that. I do blame Mishin much moreso than Liza, but it's all just so predictable and boring at this point...

Hilarious that she’s talking about keeping when she changes the program- obviously doesn’t care what choreography really is.

She obviously saw this video edit on Kaetlyn's Twitter feed and figured the principle was the same.

Sergei Voronov did this last season and then even freely admitted it. He went from a slow Secret Garden piece to a more lively classical piece for his SP yet everything, and I mean every last hand movement, was identical.

I know this is old news, but no one has posted Gumennik's full SP, so here it is:

I quite like the choreo, even if it's nothing groundbreaking in terms of mood and structure. It suits his strength in presentation. He's still slow, though.

 

[aftershocks]

That seems unlikely at this point.

Right. I was trying to be generous about Khudab./Nazarov. They are still young.

Still nothing from Chock & Bates?

Can you fax me when y'all find out?

TSL scuttlebutt is that C/B have great programs... no specific details were provided.

Was this posted yet? posted on a russian chat (by person who posts accurately).
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva changes her SP, from Florence and the Machine to Piazzolla "Oblivion".
It is said that she'll try to keep SLB's choreography with the new music.

Back to a tango SP, like last season and, several years ago, another Piazola? Yawn. Ok I’ll take anything without a mumu or big white blouse.

It was posted, just a different video. And all the videos of the Russian juniors during test skates are here, just in case any one missed it

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Piper has started posting clues about Gilles/Poirier's programs this year, beginning with this image. So...ferris wheel, clouds, moonlight...?

Also, one of the programs features additional music specially recorded by a Macedonian symphony orchestra.

Hmm, that makes me think of "Both Sides Now" lyrics.

 

[Wyliefan]

My first thought was The Night Circus -- but it looks like that movie is still a long way from being made, so there wouldn't be a soundtrack yet. (I see an Instagram commenter had the same thought!)

 

[Colonel Green]

That would certainly fit the "made in Canada" line.

 

[Frau Muller]

Elizabeth, the Musical (mid-90s theatre musical about Empress Sissi...featuring a musical number on a Ferris wheel...Witt skated a pro number from that musical)?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Don’t think I saw this posted anywhere:Alexa Knierim posted on her Instagram story: new short program update: Lover by Taylor Swift

No more Beyonce????

The Erin Morgenstern "Night Circus"?? Being made into a movie?? I love that book!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Yes, but I don't know how far along they are. They've announced a director (Geremy Jasper) but no casting yet.

Kind of a pity as far as Piper and Paul are concerned, actually. They'd do a Night Circus program, given the opportunity.

 

[Firedancer]

Alexa posted on Twitter the Taylor Swift song was just a joke. I had only looked at Instagram.

Didn't @VGThuy say there was a post earlier implying it might be Carnival?

They were suggesting Carousel, I believe. I thought about that, though I don't remember there being anything about a Ferris wheel in Carousel.

The orchestra is for the FD.

I was just guessing it was Carousel since the RD is Broadway, but I had no real idea if that was true or not. At the time, there was a picture of a carousel, if I recall correctly. Now that there's a ferris wheel and moonlight, I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Midnight in Paris?

 

[Impromptu]

My first thought was Sherlock, just because I thought the Ferris Wheel was the London Eye, which was used in the opening credits of the BBC Sherlock ... but I don't think that wheel is actually the London Eye.

Sorry for thread-off-topic: but hell yeah I loved that too

It's obviously a Twilight/Love Simon mishmash FD folks!

 

[Dobre]

Oh, yes. Sorry I remembered incorrectly. Anyway, there is a musical named Carnival. There is also State Fair. I wasn't remembering a carousel from it, but there is one:

I haven't watched it for years, but I do not recall any clouds.

 

[SidelineSkater]

Maybe CATS? Grizabella sings Memory and ascends to the clouds on a tire (the Swedish version has her riding on a ferris/wheel gondala...according to some Broadway website). Lyrics - Memory - all alone in the moonlight....

Fun guess that sort of hits three clues.

 

[skategal]

Hmm, that makes me think of "Both Sides Now" lyrics.

I hope so! That would totally suit them.

Maybe something from Carousel?

Kerry/Dodds posted a snip of their FD on Facebook...it's Love is a Bitch!

I’m surprised that she bothers to get choreography since she ditches so much of it. Hilarious that she’s talking about keeping when she changes the program- obviously doesn’t care what choreography really is.

And I don’t dislike her - she’s got attitude and grit and presence - but come on

If anyone read her transcript from the radio-interview, she gives an explanation why she changed the music (but kept the choreo). It is not "out of the blue" or "because Mishin wants to".

Туктамышева поменяла музыку в новой короткой: «Решили, что зритель может не понять первый вариант»
- Tukramysheva changed the music because "She decided that in her opinion an average viewer/fan is not capable to understand the meaning of the first version".

Туктамышева поменяла музыку в новой короткой программе

По мнению фигуристки, первоначальный вариант не будет понятен аудитории

udm.aif.ru

Her own words from the interview:
«Все сошлись во мнении, что эта музыка будет немножко непонятной для зрителя, для того, кто уже давно в фигурном катании. Программа получилась очень современная, очень крутая, драйвовая. Мы решили сделать тот же вариант, только под Oblivion Астора Пьяццоллы. Все классно легло», – рассказала спортсменка."

"We (the team) came to the conclusion (opinion) that this music is a bit complex (somewhat not understandable) for the long-time fans/viewers. This programme came out very modern (progressive), very sharp (very cool), very forward (upbeat). So we decided to do a similar version, but to music "Oblivion by Piazzolla". Everything matched perfectly (old choreo - matched the new music perfectly)" - said the athlete (in the interview).
