I really love to watch ballet in cinema – an easy and efforttable way to attend a great ballet performance by the Royal Ballet in London or the Bolschoi Ballet in Moscow.

Weiterlesen „The ROYAL BALLET in Cinema“I can’t stop watching this outstanding 9-minute piece created by the renown Canadian female choreographer Crystal Pite. So I want to share this snippet with all of you. You still can see it online for 16 £ – link below!
„…….. (The characters).. are locked in a battle for control and are confronting the morality of their actions.“ Ouote by Crystal Pite in the interview.
Join The Royal Ballet as they rehearse Crystal Pite’s The Statement and Solo Echo, part of the Company’s 21st Century Choreographers programme, which will be livestreamed on 28 May 2021: https://stream.roh.org.uk/products/21…
Following the Olivier award-winning success of her poignant Flight Pattern, the extraordinary imagination of Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite is demonstrated again in two works created for Nederlands Dans Theater and performed for the first time by The Royal Ballet. The shadowy depths of human nature and boardroom politics are explored in the riveting dance-drama of The Statement contrasted with an atmospheric evocation of winter in Solo Echo, inspired by a poem by Mark Strand and the melancholy beauty of Brahms’s sonatas for cello and piano.
Great News: Crystal Pite is coming to Opernhaus Zurich to present 2 works „EMERGENCE“ and ANGELS‘ ATLAS – Premiere on 1 Oktober 2021, dancing by the amazing Ballet Zurich.
Angels‘ Atlas 01, 08, 15, 16, 21, 23, 31 Oct; 05 Nov 2021; 27 Mar; 02, 06, 08 Apr 2022
As all my followers know EMERGENCE is one my favorite TOP 3 contemporary performances. More than worth watching!

Crystal Pite ist eine der gefragtesten Choreografinnen der Gegenwart. Die gebürtige Kanadierin tanzte im Ballet British Columbia und in William Forsythes Ballett Frankfurt.

Sie ist Associate Choreographer des Nederlands Dans Theaters und Associate Dance Artist am Canada’s National Arts Center. 2013 wurde sie zum Associate Artist des Londoner Sadler’s Wells Theatre ernannt. 2002 gründete Crystal Pite in Vancouver ihre eigene Compagnie Kidd Pivot, die zu einem unverwechselbaren Stil gefunden hat. Klassische Tanzelemente verbinden sich mit einer komplexen improvisatorischen Freiheit und einer starken theatralischen Sensibilität voller Humor und Fantasie. Stücke wie Dark Matters und Lost Action waren international auf vielen Tourneen zu sehen. Im Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt/Main hatte die Compagnie von 2010-2012 eine Residenz, dort entstanden mit The You Show und The Tempest Replica zwei weitere international gefeierte Stücke. 2015 hatte Betroffenheit, eine Koproduktion mit dem Autor und Schauspieler Jonathon Young und dem Electric Company Theatre, Premiere. Für das Ballett der Opéra de Paris entstanden die Stücke The Seasons‘ Canon und Body and Soul. Crystal Pite wurde mit vielen Auszeichnungen geehrt, u.a. mit dem Jessie Richardson Theatre Award, dem Dora Mavor Moore Award, dem Govenor General of Canada’s Performing Arts Award, dem Lola Award, dem Jacqueline Lemieux Prize und dem Laurence Olivier Award. Das in Koproduktion mit dem Ballett Zürich entstandene Ballett Angels‘ Atlas wurde 2021 in Toronto uraufgeführt.

Watching the Nutcracker on Christmas Day is my holiday tradition since years. Numerous ballet companies around the world offer this famous Christmas ballet now online or on Demand. In times of Covid I can’t see The NUTCRACKER live on stage. There are so many beautiful choreographies available, next to the original by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, done in 1892. My favourite interpretations are by George Balanchine, Peter Wright and Christian Spuck.
Watch on the website of your favorite ballet company and order online a calendar, a mask, a DVD or more.

Weiterlesen „Fabulous Ballet calendars 2021“Get a close insight into Natalia’s career as one of the greatest prima ballerinas. Learn more about her work as a principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and her contemporary dance projects with some of the world’s greatest choreographers. Watch the rehearsal process of new ballet Mother by Arthur Pita, a new commission with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, and the Royal Ballet’s legendary production of La Bayadere directed by Natalia Makarova.
It’s amazing how hard Natalia works on all choreographies she dances – both on a technical and emotional level. Even the superstars of the ballet world have to rehearse and re-rehearse every ballet, even the ones they have already performed, getting corrections from their ballet masters as they aim for perfection.
