From the imagination of choreographer/director Benjamin Millepied, we enter a world where ballet meets street dancing. L’il Buck and the New Styles Krew interpret ballet with great finesse and elegance, while staying true to their roots. Composer Nicholas Britell re-composed Bach’s Double Harpsichord Concerto B.M.V. 1060 with woodwinds, drums, electric bass, looping, and glitch FX, while maintaining the “essence” of the Bach Movement throughout to match the feeling of the dance.
Kyryll Fedorenko, Artur Gaspar, Oleg Zhezhel and Francisco Borgato, the Cossack dudes of Ukrainian act Kazaky, are back with a viral video entitled “last night” directed by Yevgeniy Timokhin.

:: Erwin Olaf :: Homotography
visual artist Reuben Margolin, explores the physical connection between bodies and kinetic design though the use of a large scale undulating sculpture that moves in sync with the dancers. Margolin’s sculpture measures 35′ x 10′ x 20′ and is made of paper, magnets, string, steel, wooden ring, 88 pulleys, and one motor.

Young man entertains fans at Safeco field:
Meet Robert Battle, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s New Artistic Director designate – who will succeed Judith Jamison this July, he has announced today the creation of the New Directions Choreography Lab as a component to his vision and the Company’s 2011/12 Season.

“I think that one of the things that choreographers suffer from is the lack of time and space. Certainly the access to bodies, to dancers,” says Mr. Battle. “I’m trying to find ways to identify choreographers who would benefit from having space and creative time to develop their work so that everything isn’t micro-waved. Things take time, and we should honor process.”
Mr. Battle’s interest in nurturing process has resulted in the New Directions Choreography Lab, which will offer assistance each year to four emerging or mid-level choreographers working in a variety of techniques.
New Directions will give choreographers access to versatile Ailey-trained dancers, rehearsal space and time, stipends, and the freedom to create without the pressures of a commission or final performance
“Often, we as choreographers have a deadline and we have to have a product at the end. I think that our culture is so product-driven that we often forget about the process,” says Mr. Battle. “And so the product tends to be stuck together with airplane glue just for a presentation, rather than having some sense that even if the ‘product’ isn’t a masterpiece, it’s a part of the journey.”
