Resource: Boys Do Ballet

by

 

Today I’d like to share a resource with readers–an interesting site–Boys Do Ballet.com. I found this site and was intrigued by the team of writers and the variety of posts there–definitely worth checking out. I’ve really enjoyed reading the sites around the web that are dedicated to men/boys in ballet. Here are a few more to take a peek at, or pass along to a guy you know:

Ballet for Men

Dave Tries Ballet

My Son Can Dance

I think it is so important to have good resources for the men and boys who are interested in dance. So many times they are slighted, or at worst, ignored. Pass the word along about these great sites to the guys you know…after all, they desrve a little support!

Jacob’s Pillow: A Video Content Resource?

by

I just finished watching a fabulous video: Lois Greenfield: The Anticipatory Art Form of Photography. There are plenty more where that came from as well. FORA.tv is an online video forum that boasts one of the world’s largest video collections from talks, lectures, debates, think tanks, and conferences. You can visit Jacob’s Pillow’s content channel and browse the offerings to see some wonderful, informative pieces. I think this is a great resource for dance/arts lovers, and have bookmarked it as a favorite of mine. I hope that you enjoy it too.

Focus On: Merce Cunningham

by

Merce Cunningham

Fans of Merce Cunningham might want to take a minute out of the day to read this interview on Artslynx. It’s incredibly detailed and very interesting.

There’s another good piece on PBS American Masters about the artist.

Also, the BBC has an interview that you can listen to on their site.

Has anyone out there worked with him–or had the opportunity to dance his choreography? If so, I’d love to hear about it…
