Much appreciation for you posting the Rite Of Spring! I have looked for the ballet before, and to my dissapointment, nothing was to me found of it. Thanks!
Thank you for posting the Joffrey Ballet's *Le Sacre du Printemps.* The amount of work that Hodson and Archer put into the reconstruction of Nijinsky's original choreography is incredible, and having available to see here on YouTube is a fantastic opportunity for all of us! It's so amazing to see the combined genius of Nijinsky and Stravinsky.
We flew in our grandson from MN, and our grandson from Utah, for ZeroOne Art Festival San Jose CA, and as part of the festival we saw Beyond the Score for Rite of Spring. In blogging on myspace and eons I searched in YouTube and found the ballet. Thank you so much for posting it. It helps educate the grandkids and their parents about what they saw.
My thanks also. The original Rite of Spring leaves all other versions in the dust. Both Nijinsky and his sister knew that movement, like everything, is defined by what it is not as much as by what it is. They were never afraid of boring their audience. The dancers moved when they were supposed to and only when they were supposed to, and it worked -of course.
Again - many, many thanks!
