new forsythe on Bach chaconne

[alcheraprof]

is she zakharova?

[RainyGarden]

@alcheraprof

i think it's Kondaurova

[sputnik2703]

thank you brettyboy143 i agree ! ...

[caroldodance]

perfection has a name.

[BrettyBoy143]

all of you who think tht ballet needs to be pretty and think this is boring needs to seriously understand tht this is a contemporary ballet and therefore there is no bounderies. Forsythe choreographs using their legs. and the space in between 2 dancers. i personally love his ballets and hope they continue on for centuries to come.

[vereda61]

boring... too bad for the choreography, it is all over the place for no reason... at least the music is good, as Balanchine could have said.

[toeknee1965]

@vereda61 balanchine is dead!

[SlipperyChickenzz]

even if this is one of bachs cello sonatas, whats with these dancers?

and this is ng (not good) quality

[samweissen]

It's not a cello sonata - it's the Ciaconne movement from Bach's 2nd *violin* partita.

[zspink]

oh, so harsh

these splits

let the music do that

perhaps some acrobats do it more pure.

where is dance heading...

[butifarra61]

I do not like it? the music is so strong, so passionate, and the choreography is so balanchine and jazzy? how much can we see of her extension? is like the choreographer wanted to see her incredible arabesque and splits again, and again?

[calmtides]

It's neoclassical ballet from a choreographer who was initially inspired by the form and practice of George Balachine. You can say the same for Wheeldon, Dawson, Rhoden... but it's a style?

No... this isn't Artifact suite. it's Steptext - they both use the same music.

[NATULINAN]

LOOKS LIKE KONDAUROVA

[genzano]

I think so, too. Thanks so much for posting!

[Ijustneedtogetaway]

yes this is artifact suite, but the first version i think...

[toeknee1965]

sorry salzman steptext was never a trio. always three men and a woman. created actually on a ballerina in reggio emiglia italy. she now runs la scala ballet.  but that version is very different to what it is now. dont like how this gal does it. she too long and too loose. needs a girl who needs to fight for it all a bit more. its all about the work and not the ease.

[supergrover311]

isn't this also the music from artifact suite?

[123MadameSZ]

who are the dancers?

[chris8300]

troop of the mariinsky theater in Saint Petersbourg,Russia

[noelsalzman]

Also, the version of Steptext I saw was a trio, seems like every iteration of every Forsythe piece are very different from each other

[noelsalzman]

Steptext is from the mid-80s actually

[carstenra]

this is not a Bach Cello Sonata but an excerpt of the Chaconne for violin solo, d-minor partita

[chris8300]

I call it new forsythe because I posted 3 more on the site.....and it s not the Kirov..sorry

[cammeron16]

this is not new forsythe it's steptext and was created in the 90s. This is the Kirov(at the time)
