Last weekend, I made my annual trek to Stern Grove for the opportunity to see San Francisco Ballet perform in the gorgeous outdoor setting there. One of my favorite things about this performance is that it’s never just about the performance itself. It’s impossible to talk about this performance without mentioning the gorgeous outdoor setting and the huge audience spread out all over the hillside, all enjoying themselves and having a good time in this more casual atmosphere. Also competing this year for the stage, however, was the ...

Awakenings
July 26, 2010 · Posted by The Ballet Bag ·
The Sleeping Beauty is a staple of major classical troupes. Despite being an expensive ballet to stage, it is amongst those productions that ensure box office safety and keep dancers well drilled. It demands not only starry leads but a strong supporting cast to carry through endless variations and character roles like Carabosse and the Lilac Fairy.
Though I had already seen two of Britain’s major productions of this ballet: the Royal Ballet’s - based on the iconic 1946 staging by Sergeyev and de Valois – and Birmingham Royal Ballet’s very chic version by Sir Peter Wright, I’d never ...
Fell in Love with a Girl

Reconstruction is the new black in London’s ballet summer season. The Mikhailovsky brought us earlier this week Mikhail Messerer‘s charming restoration of thirties success Laurencia (more on that later) and now the Bolshoi follows their opener Spartacus with something, in my opinion, far more interesting and entertaining: Sergei Vikharev’s reconstruction of the Petipa/Cecchetti original St. Petersburg staging of Coppélia.
To understand what goes into reconstructing vintage ballets we recommend you read this excellent feature at The Arts Desk which includes an interview given by Vikharev to Ismene Brown. Amongst other topics Vikharev talks about how he came across Nikolas Sergeyev’s original ...

a.k.a. how it feels to be born
Right now is a crazy time.
Imagine having full consciousness while you’re still in the womb, and knowing that you’re about to be born. That’s kind of what right now, waiting for our premiere to hit, and feeling the first contractions of ticket sales, advertising, and facebook buzz feels like. [...]
Ernesto Neto – the art of dream, the art of life
July 22, 2010 · Posted by Body Pixel ·
It’s been a while since I was writing about textile art – but recently Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto took me to some new horizons of art that simultaneously goes for aesthetic and engaged. His latest exhibition ‘The Edges of the World’ has just been opened in Hayward Gallery in Southbank Centre in London, and created [...]
