Paul McCartney to write score for New York City Ballet CBSNews.com staff (CBS) He's made millions of listeners move their feet throughout his long career, and now Sir Paul McCartney will make the New York City Ballet move its collective feet with an original score. On Thursday, the Ballet announced that McCartney and the NYCB's Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins will collaborate on a world premiere ballet that will have its first performance on Sept. 22, 2011. In a press release, Martins said he met McCartney in 2010 and, knowing his love of classical music, asked if he wanted to do something with the ballet. "I am ecstatic that he agreed to write a score for us," said Martins. "I am always interested in new directions that I haven't worked in before," said McCartney. "What was interesting was writing music that meant something expressively rather than just writing a song. Trying to write something that expressed an emotion - so you have fear, love, anger, sadness to play with and I found that exciting and challenging." |

Today’s hottest ballet owes Oscar some love JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press NEW YORK — And you thought “Swan Lake” was only hot in Hollywood these days. Call it fortuitous timing, but the folks at New York City Ballet have seen tickets for “Swan Lake” sell out faster than usual this season — they even added an extra show to accommodate demand. And move over, Natalie Portman: You may be favored today for the Oscar in “Black Swan,” but there’s a real-life, flesh-and-blood ballerina generating heat as the swan queen. Her name is Sara Mearns, and she’s tall, blond, glamorous — movie-star beautiful, in fact. What’s really special about her, though, is her spectacular stage presence, her long legs and the gorgeous, expansive shapes she creates with her body, particularly the stunning arch in her back. Some have hastened to call Mearns, 24, the best American ballerina performing today. That might be a little premature, and it would overlook dancers such as the enticing Tiler Peck and several young colleagues at NYCB, veteran Wendy Whelan and Gillian Murphy at American Ballet Theatre, an estimable swan queen herself. But certainly one can say that to watch Mearns dance Odette/Odile in “Swan Lake” is to watch a star ascendant — not to mention an absolutely glorious pairing of a dancer with the right role. For that, credit goes to Peter Martins, NYCB’s ballet master-in-chief, who had the prescience to pluck Mearns from the corps in 2006 — she was 19 — and make her one of his swan queens that season in his version of “Swan Lake.” It launched her career. Mearns, it has been often noted, does not have the typical body of a ballerina, especially a Balanchine ballerina. Her shoulders and torso are broader, and she is not petite. Rather, she looks almost like an old-fashioned pinup girl. In a recent matinee performance, she used all this to her advantage as the innocent Odette and the evil Odile. She used her long arms beautifully to reflect her emotions — sadness, fear, nervousness, a sense of intermittent joy in discovering love for Siegfried. They fluttered like a swan’s, but her birdlike movements did not, like those of some dancers, fall into the trap of caricature. In the Black Swan section, Mearns stepped up the glamour with a confident, alluring aura. She may not whip off the famous fouette turns with the same prowess as Murphy at ABT, for example, who is so technically adept that she adds multiple turns to the already impossibly challenging set of 32, earning whoops from an audience that is waiting for the moment. But that is not Mearns’ style. She stops when she is ready. But she also takes risks. In other ballets, in fact, Mearns has been known to fall down, so committed is she to the fierce execution of each movement. She did not fall in “Swan Lake,” luckily. But if she had, somehow it seems she would have made it as natural a swanlike move as the flutter of a wing. And she would have had the audience eating out of her hand nonetheless. |

Black Swan’ wins top honour at indie Spirit Awards The ballet thriller “Black Swan” won four prizes Saturday at the Spirit Awards honouring independent film, including best picture, best actress for Natalie Portman and director for Darren Aronofsky. James Franco was picked as best actor for the survival story “127 hours,” while the Ozarks crime story “Winter’s Bone” earned both supporting-acting prizes, for John Hawkes and Dale Dickey. All three films are up for best picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, where Portman is considered the favorite to win the best-actress Oscar and Franco is a co-host alongside actress Anne Hathaway. With plenty of overlap among nominees at the Oscars, the Spirit Awards are a warm-up for Hollywood’s biggest party. The British monarchy saga “The King’s Speech,” the best-picture front-runner at the Oscars, won the prize for best foreign film. “Black Swan” also took the cinematography award for Matthew Libatique. Portman and Aronofsky joked about the difficulty in getting “Black Swan” off the ground, with cash tight and few people believing the film could ever make its money back. “My ballet teachers were, like, every day, `So when do we get paid?’” said Portman, who won for her role as a ballerina losing her grip on reality. ap dailytimes |

5 members of Cuba’s national ballet stay in Canada Andrea Rodriguez HAVANA—Five members of the National Ballet of Cuba, including one of its principal dancers, have remained in Canada after performing there, dance officials said Wednesday. National Ballet of Canada spokeswoman Catherine Chang says the five are taking classes with the Canadian ballet in Toronto, adding that she can’t confirm that they have defected. But an official with the National Ballet of Cuba said the dancers had decided to stay in Canada. The official was not authorized to talk to the press on the issue and spoke on condition of anonymity. The company, which is directed by legendary prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso, had performed Giselle. The Montreal Gazette reported that among the Cubans was a principal dancer, Elier Bourzac, who said he was staying in Canada for “artistic” reasons. The newspaper said the Cubans hoped to join Canadian dance companies. Many dancers who have left Cuba are climbing to stardom in American companies from American Ballet Theatre in New York to the Boston and the San Francisco Ballets. http://www.thestar.com/news/article/947 ... -in-canada |
