Ausgelassener zeitgenössischer Tanz aus Kuba🌟🌟🌟🌟

Danza ContemporĂĄnea de Cuba im Theater Winterthur am 31.Oktober 2019

Tanz gehört zum kubanischen Lebensstil wie das Atmen zum Leben. Überall wird Salsa getanzt. Weniger bekannt ist die zeitgenössische Tanzszene. Bereits 1959 wurde diese Compagnie von Ramiro Guerra, einem ehemaligen Mitglied der berĂŒhmten Compagnie von Martha Graham gegrĂŒndet. Die amerikanische Choreografin und TĂ€nzerin Martha Graham gilt als die Innovatorin des Modern Dance.

Die DANZA CONTEMPORÁNEA DE CUBA hat sich zu der traditionsreichsten, wichtigsten Compagnie in Kuba entwickelt. Mit einem Mix aus afrikanisch- karibischen Rhythmen, modernem amerikanischen Theater und europÀischem Ballett wird die kubanische Lebensfreude in zeitgenössischen Tanz umgesetzt. Dieser unverwechselbare kubanische Spirit fasziniert durch die ansteckende Energie und glÀnzende Technik der TÀnzerinnen und TÀnzer.

Ballet Movie – The White Crow

The legendary defection by Rudolf Nureyev

I finally managed to watch this ballet movie, even though it was released in spring 2019.  Most ballet lovers know the story about the defection of Rudolf Nureyev to the West at the Paris airport after a tour of Europe by the Kirov ballet company. That defection was the start of his incredible career as he rose to become the first ballet superstar in the world.

BALLETTMÄRCHEN DER GRAUSAMEN ART

ErstauffĂŒhrung am 12. Oktober 2019 im Opernhaus ZĂŒrich- Das MĂ€dchen mit den Schwefelhölzern

„Try to like it!“ Diese humorvolle Empfehlung gab der Komponist Helmut Lachenmann dem Publikum bei der EinfĂŒhrungsmatinee im September. Als ich das erste Mal die Musik hörte, war ich zugegebenermassen skeptisch, ob diese GerĂ€uschmusik ĂŒberhaupt balletttauglich ist. Christian Spuck ist der allererste Choreograf, der sich an dieses avantgardistische Musiktheater wagt.

Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse ….

Open Rehearsal of the Junior Ballet ZĂŒrich

As we all know a lot of rehearsals are needed before the ballet dancers are ready to perform on stage. Usually it takes weeks before the opening night.

Applying corrections and giving feedback is the task of the ballet master. He is a guide for the dancers to develop technically and artistically. Some critiques can be fixed immediately, but most take time, concentration, and hard work to improve and achieve perfection.

Insights: How do Ballet Dancers start the Day?

The Daily ritual of A morning class

Ballet Zurich shows us at the opening party „everybody dances“ last weekend how all ballet dancers start with exercises in the morning. That is their workout every single day – 6 days a week -to warm up to get ready for a day of rehearsals.

Public Morning training of Ballet Zurich on 21st September 2019

The morning class starts at 10 am and takes 75 minutes. It has 2 parts:
1.Warm up at the barre, exercise and stretch, doing plies, tendus, etc strengthening all parts of the body, getting the flexibility and coordination.

  1. This is a full workout with balancing, turns and jumps.
    Great performance demands stamina, strength, flexibility and coordination – and that only comes with incredibly long hours in the studio – day in day out.

This session is led by ballet master Jean-François Boisnon, the live piano accompaniment is by Christophe Barwinek. Dramarurge Michael KĂŒster and Ballet Master Daniel Otevrel are talking about what is going on.

Giselle at Teatro alla Scala

Spectacular Ballet performance!

Watching GISELLE at La Scala di Milano was always a dream of mine. The Ballet Company of Teatro alla Scala is one of the oldest and most renowned ballet companies in the world, founded at the inauguration in 1778.

I was lucky to see two of the world’s most glamorous Ballet Stars on stage Svetlana Zakharova, Prima Ballerina from Bolshoi in Moscow and Étoile of Teatro alla Scala, together with her elegant partner David Hallberg from the American Ballet Theatre. That is a very special treat for all ballet lovers.

My Favorite Ballet Couples

The Art of Partnering

Most ballets are love affairs. Two dancers tell the love story with such commitment and passion that the audience feels as if their love is real. It feels like two human hearts beat in a single time. Ballet lovers are fascinated by long-term dance partnerships.

Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev were certainly the most-loved ballet partnership of all time.

What makes a great dance couple today? It needs more than trust, empathy and respect to create extraordinary partnering. Please tell me your experience?
