Still more combining of two distinct art forms

Combining two art forms

Howdy!

Continuing with the catching up... Last month Alastair MaCaulay wrote about the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition "On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century," in the context of dance.

The Ballet Bag of Steps: Connections

Howdy!

We're catching up on some old stuff here... One of my favorite dance blogs is The Ballet Bag. One of their ongoing series is their Bag of Steps, which explains in a clear and cogent manner ballet steps for everyone (like myself) who never took a ballet class.

At the end of January they explained connecting steps, like a Glissade and Pas de Bourrée.

Le danseur ne pèse pas lourd dans la balance starts talking to people

Howdy!

Catherine Viau posts a video of Julie Perron talking about what she does. (unfortunately she won't allow anyone to embed the video). And then she quotes Élise Desaulniers writing about Ms. Perron, but she doesn't link to Ms. Desaulniers' blog.
