2020-21 Programs and Choreographers

[Frau Muller]

Aaaaand this is the 3rd thread I'm posting in ... Looks like we'll see Jason Brown's new programs for the ISP Points Challenge virtual competition posted tomorrow in USFS' Fan Zone. He just shared snippets on his social media:

SP: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFaejc3nrI7/

Choreo: Rohene Ward

FS: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFae2hJH7kL/

Oh my....SLAUGHTER! I love that music. It’s known (eg, Wilson/McCall FD eons ago) but not warhorse-level known.

OMG!!! BOTH ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! Imagine, at the next Worlds, a final flight of Men skating to this, plus Slaughter plus Nureyev plus whatever Yuzu’s skating to?

Has anyone noticed how, in this era of *****, the musical selections are improving? More time to sit at home and think things out clearly? In Russia & now US? My only problem is with the unfortunate Billie Eilish crappola from one of the Russian gals last week...

Also this 1983 show program by Torvill and Dean, which I don't think I've ever seen or heard of before. But it's 10 minutes long so I don't have time to watch the whole thing now.

"Nothing Compares 2 U"
"Raspberry Beret"

[Ka3sha]

Aliona Kostornaia

Wayward Sisters (from "Nocturnal Animals" soundtrack), Dance for Me Wallis (from "W.E." soundtrack), The Cheek of Night (from "Romeo and Juliet" soundtrack). All pieces written by Abel Korzeniowski

[muffinplus]

Romeo and Juliet.... AGAIN.

Well, at least it's a different piece

 

[RoseRed]

Romeo and Juliet.... AGAIN.

Well, at least it's a different piece

Well, since the other two pieces aren't from R&J, I assume she won't be playing Juliet, just using nice music. So quite different. But it's still funny it's true.

How many seasons in a row could a skater do R&J without repeating a composer/artist?

Young YOU's new SP has been choreographed by Yeaji Shin:

[Kateri]

How many seasons in a row could a skater do R&J without repeating a composer/artist?

Judging by my quick Spotify title search, many more than one skater's competitive lifespan. Though the year they got up to "Romeo & Juliet vs Bonnie & Clyde - Epic Rap Battles of History" would be interesting.

According to this article, Chock and Bates are keeping both their 19-20 programs- they had a new FD but decided to table it as they missed a lot of training this summer due to a minor injury and then having to quarantine again after being exposed to the virus.
