Just to tell you that "papillon" just means "butterfly" in English, any kind of butterfly really.

This was filmed in a TV studio in Toronto in early 1980 when Healy was 11 for a cable special on John Curry's Company. Le Papillon is a score composed by Offenbach and it is also the French word for butterfly. Curry liked the music and thought it suited her age and abilities at that time. There was no dig, intentional or otherwise, in the choice of music.

merely a glimpse of things to cohen....:P she was great, some interesting comments about her in toller's 'zero tollerance'.

loved the ice theatre ideas, wished it had become bigger. hardly anyone attempts to put a tank on stage and have an ice spectacular. perhaps soon...

and as always arigato goziemusu for the beautiful and rare videos!!! i'll go look, but do you have the peggy fleming/curry skating circles to philip glass?
