(482) Dance writer Marina Harss, on documenting dance in Vienna and Copenhagen

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance" we are joined by dance writer Marina Harss. Marina tells us about her recent excursions to Vienna and Copenhagen, where she traveled to document some of the most exciting new dynamics in European dance companies, including a renewed focus on Copenhagen's genius choreographer Bournonville, new directors in the Royal Danish Ballet and the Vienna State Ballet, and buzzy new Ratmansky productions in both companies. Marina wrote on these experiences in the New York Times and the New York Review Of Books. Both articles are available online today. Alexei Ratmansky’s Leap of Faith - By Marina Harss for The New York ReviewFor Royal Danish Ballet, It’s Back to Bournonville - By Marina Harss for the New York TimesAt City Ballet, Alexei Ratmansky’s Morality Tale Is Wrapped in Farce - By Marina Harss for the New York TimesGet Marina's book on Ratmansky: The Boy from Kyiv: Alexei Ratmansky's Life in BalletSneak Peek of Ratmansky's newest work for Miami City Ballet, mentioned in this episode.Listen to Conversations on Dance ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/conversationsondanceConversations on Dance was the recipient of the 2024 Clive Barnes Award for Journalism and Media Achievement.Access bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/conversationsondanceWebsite: conversationsondancepod.comJoin our email list: https://conversations-on-dance.kit.com/7f73880f5bInstagram: instagram.com/conversationsondance Hosted on Acast.
