In the meantime, this is pretty neat:

Every February the New York City Ballet holds their Annual Luncheon, which usually involves a discussion/performance excerpt in the theater, followed by a gala-esque lunch on the promenade and a passing of the Janice Levin Dancer honor to the next years recipient.
Today’s program was called “Ballet is Man - too” featuring an esteemed panel of male dancers in a discussion moderated by Peter Martins, and excerpts from some of the great male roles in our repertory (Prodigal, Apollo…). I so wanted to check it out - we had the monitor on (sound from the stage) in the office for a bit, but it was really interesting so it made it too hard to focus on what we were working on!
Chopard was the sponsor for the event, and they had mannequins at either end of the promenade dressed in tutus and Chopard jewels. These lovely ladies were of course being watched over by their very own security team.
What if next time Chopard just goes all out and makes a real diamond tutu - like the diamond victoria’ secret bra?

I apologize for keeping you in suspense… or not.

Shorter in the back than it is in the front. Looks pretty Katie Holmes-esque here, but I’m trying hard to style it a little differently. Who knows, maybe the blonde chunks will make an appearance again, although I tend to think not.

As some of you may already know, Cedar Lake Dance Company was generous in inviting New York dance bloggers to attend a dress rehearsal last week for their current Winter Season, which runs through January 19th.
They invited everyone a bit early, which gave us a chance for a wine-and-cheese-accompanied mingle before the performance.
Sloan, Dave, and David.
We invited all our New York Winger contributors (many of whom were able to come!), and also brought along the talented Mr. Dave Franzese, an artist/designer/writer who saw Cedar Lake last season (I couldn’t attend and Doug invited him in my place) and became a fan.
He works for thehappycorp and writes for LVHRD’s blog, so look for an entry about CL over there soon as well.
I think it’s great that Cedar Lake has welcomed dance bloggers in such a unique way, but I also wonder… maybe next time, they might also think about inviting more writers from cultural/arts blogs. They most likely get more traffic than traditional dance blogs, have a more diverse audience that may not initially think they would like dance but could be open to it, and the writers would probably not be writing formal dance reviews - meaning that the casual non-dance-fanatic reader would be able to connect with what they were writing about (design, overall artistry, space, audience, etc) easier than a discussion about choreographic composition and dance technique (which has it’s place and purpose as well, but may not be as digestible for someone who doesn’t see a lot of dance or read a lot of reviews).
A good turn out…

Before the show started, Swan (the short name for their Artistic Director Benoit-Swan Pouffer) came to the front of the audience and welcomed everyone. While the show-slash-dress-rehearsal was also for friends and family of CL, he also took a moment to thank the bloggers for coming. Afterwards he was generous in holding a little Q&A with us.
More soon, when I get the photos from Doug’s trusty D200 [photos above by him as well]…

A quick reminder that tonight at 5:30 PM is the official lighting of the Lincoln Center Christmas tree.
Also, if you were planning on heading over to Barnes and Noble for Kyle Froman’s book signing of In the Wings- READ THIS. He will instead be signing books directly on the plaza, at a table just next to the Wedgwood ornament and book sale kiosk.
After the plaza festivities, there will be celebration throughout the Lincoln Center area called Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square. Click the image for more information from their website.
