☆ At Flamenco Festival, Molting Into a New Idea of Spanish Dance
  + stars: | 2024-03-02 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For Olga Pericet, flamenco is an invitation: to play and to explore the limits of her imagination onstage. Pericet, who comes from a family of flamenco dancers and teachers, has a deep respect for the traditions of the form. Over the years the Flamenco Festival, which arrives in New York each spring, has offered a window on its evolution. This year the festival has three dance programs at City Center, beginning March 8, each invoking a range of associations: to past dance forms, to flamenco auteurs, and to the central role of the flamenco guitar. Pericet’s “La Leona,” takes its inspiration from a 19th-century guitar prototype that produced the rich, resonant sound we now associate with flamenco music.

☆ Jean Butler Choreographs the Past and Future of Irish Dance
  + stars: | 2024-02-13 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Halfway through Jean Butler’s “What We Hold,” the audience is invited to sit at a long table surrounded by 50 chairs, as if at a wedding banquet. As the audience settles in, voices begin to float through the room, like snatches of lost conversations. A transformation happens: They are not just dancers but Irish dancers. “That’s the very first thing we learned as kids, that posture,” Butler said after a rehearsal. It is something all Irish dancers hold in their bodies, like first position in ballet.

☆ A War-Haunted Choreographer Steps Into a New Role at City Ballet
  + stars: | 2024-02-10 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For the choreographer Alexei Ratmansky, the last two years have brought an uncomfortable intermingling of life and art. “My parents in Kyiv are awoken at night by explosions,” he said in an interview at Lincoln Center. “It gets harder and harder and heavier because no one sees any light. Ratmansky, 55, has kept the image filed away, part of a mental gallery of the horrors of war. Now it has found its way into a dance, his first for New York City Ballet in his new role as artist in residence.

☆ Erik Aschengreen, 88, Dies; Historian and Critic Illuminated Danish Dance
  + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( Alastair Macaulay | More About Alastair Macaulay | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
The 1979, 1992, and 2005 festivals of Bournonville’s ballets flooded the Royal Danish Theater in Copenhagen with dance authorities from many countries. Mr. Aschengreen did much to welcome, entertain and enlighten them as a spokesman at many presentations by the Danish company. From 1964 to 2005 Mr. Aschengreen was the dance critic for the Copenhagen-based Berlingske Tidende (now known simply as Berlingske), one of the world’s oldest newspapers still in print. He also taught ballet history at the Royal Danish Ballet School from 1971 to 1993 and dance history at the Danish School of Contemporary Dance from its founding in 1990. He traveled extensively to see international dance and to investigate dance education.

☆ To Seize the Fleeting: Making Clarice Lispector Dance
  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It is a feeling that dancers speak of when describing the sensation of the body and mind in performance — a kind of flow. “It’s how I feel with dance and with making choreography,” Melnick said. The seed was a series of movement phrases created by Lee-Parritz, which she recorded and then played back for Melnick in extreme slow motion. “I decided to learn it as if it were happening to me that way, in slow motion,” Melnick said. “This work has a relationship to beauty and form and simplicity,” Lee-Parritz said, “but with an awareness of decay and ugliness.”

☆ It’s Story Time at Ballet Theater, With a Best Seller Twist
  + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The partnering grows increasingly steamy — an intimacy consultant was brought in to ensure that everyone felt comfortable. (On the Ballet Theater website, the production comes with a parental advisory, advising discretion for children under 13.) “People are sometimes afraid because they don’t know exactly what ballet is,” he said. “But maybe we can bring in new audiences because they think they’re going to get a theatrical and dynamic experience. Maybe they’ll be able to experience ballet through the art of storytelling, which is more accessible.”

☆ Exploring the Majesty and Mystery of Sor Juana in Dance
  + stars: | 2023-05-26 | by ( Marina Harss | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
She bends her back deeply and twists on the floor as the people around her watch, curious but withdrawn. As couples pass by, the dancer leaps and rolls, flying and landing heavily, looking side to side as if seeking refuge. Sor Juana’s life is the subject of a new work by the choreographer Michelle Manzanales that premieres on June 1, during Ballet Hispánico’s season at the New York City Center. Sor Juana, born out of wedlock into a deeply patriarchal society, chose the convent over marriage and domesticity. She is intriguing not only because of her extraordinary achievement but because not much is known about her beyond the few clues she left in her writing.
