Dancing Times Magazine April 2015 Vorige editie

We have packed a lot into this month’s magazine, with a whole range of articles and interviews, news and reviews. Diana Vishneva, the Maryinsky ballerina who also has an international career, talks to Zoë Anderson about her new show, On the Edge, which comes to the London Coliseum this month; Jeannette Andersen celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich; and in advance of The Royal Ballet’s revival of La Fille mal gardée, Luke Jennings, dance critic of The Observer, wonders if the ballets of Frederick Ashton are being seen to best advantage. Also in this issue, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Céline Gittens (last month’s cover star) investigates motivation in ballet dancers in her Talking Point column; Richard Ralph travels to New York in order to meet Lawrence Rhodes, head of the Dance Division at the Juilliard School; and Margaret Willis catches up with Ballet Black’s Kanika Carr, who is our Dancer of the Month. And finally, as ever, we have a range of reviews on a variety of dance styles and performances, including reports from Belgium, Finland, Russia and the US, as well as the UK. We hope you enjoy them.
