2020-21 Programs and Choreographers

[wickedwitch]

Tosca ... why Satoko why. Why does she only have warhorse long programs?

Her best LP was her The Planets/Star Wars program. I'm still disappointed she was injured for Worlds that year. She would have easily medaled.

Great! I can't wait to see her programmes.

I've always liked this selection from Tosca used by Karyn Kadavy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCB5_w_AO38
I wouldn't mind if Sakato uses the same piece, or something else from Tosca that we haven't heard before.

That SP:

Satoko's skating speaks to me with the wisdom of a thousand generations.

While I respect differences in tastes, I fail to understand how anyone simply could not be drawn in by her every move.

Their FS is reportedly Damien Rice’s “The Blower’s Daughter”, which was playing during a practice clip posted to Instagram Stories a few days ago.

Cool choice for the short. The direction isn't much of a departure for them but the song itself has some interesting elements to play with. They'll probably do well with it although it might be even more rivetting from a pair with a little more heat to their dynamic.

Is he keeping the SP?

Vladimir Samoilov
FP: Ghost (same as last year)

Hope they revamped it. Music suited him, but the program was empty as hell.
All the missed potential in Samoilov

 

[rfisher]

Then they translated it incorrectly into Russian. In any case, 'White Raven' sounds much better than 'White Crow'.

Hint for future reference, @Ka3sha is Russian.

This should be interesting. That 20s clip had more transitions than I've ever seen in a whole program from Nic.

 

[VGThuy]

Considering how almost everyone is trying to do contemporary these days (which means Billie Eilish or a bunch of P/C-Inspired ballads or slow, acoustic covers of fast-paced pop songs), I don’t mind one skater of Miyahara’s caliber doing classical. We need one skater with classic movement and clean carriage, and finished moves out there just for our enjoyment.

SD: Christina Aguilera's Burlesque, composition remains with some music changes
FD: "The Illusionist" by Rodriguez

[Braulio]

Burlesque should have been banned after Sotnikova skated to it

 

[VGThuy]

I still can’t believe how popular that soundtrack is among skating and gymnastics choreographers internationally. Aguilera’s wailing must be some siren’s call that my ears weren’t programmed to hear.

Using Einaudi in addition to Jarre is somewhat novel. So it won’t just be “Lara’s Theme”.

Igor really should stop rehashing his former team's programs.

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

 

[Braulio]

Don't hate, recycle-it

Anyway it could have been worst, he could have chose that atrocious "Evita' Medley that Copely/Stagniunas skated to

 

[Ananas Astra]

Burlesque should have been banned after Sotnikova skated to it

To be fair, Samodurova did an awesome job with her "Burlesque" FS and rightfully won the Europeans with it.

I'm discouraged by their selection. If both Christina/Anthony and Chock/Bates keep their respective rhythm dances they'll both be skating to Too Darn Hot. Then Christina/Anthony will skate to Doctor Zhivago, which was previously used by Chock/Bates. Christina/Anthony are practically asking for the comparison.
