2012-2013 Programs by Discipline

[blue dog]

Poor Irina! Even at the nadir of her career she didn't have to skate with Averbukh. And, even for ice dance, I thought that program was the epitome of tasteless exploitation.

I will leave this here, but I will be starting a new thread on Ilia Averbukh: Choreographer.

[slipslidin]

Great! I'm sure the uplifting zombies will be one for the ages.

[dorispulaski]

Well, the zombies better not be shedding any pieces, or there will be costume violations

[dorispulaski]

Is that supposed to be a joke? If so I don't get it
Anyway I loved the 9/11 program.

I didn't. But I was living in NY state, and many of my friends were living in the city on 9/11.

I didn't want to see it danced on ice, the same way many people did not want to see Holocaust on Ice or Hitler on Ice.

PTSD is not a nice thing, and a lot of NY state was suffering from it. None of us wanted to see any reenactment of 9/11 that soon.

Some people were still suffering from it 10 years later.

Doris I will respond to your post in the Averbukh thread.

RE: Z/G- I wonder if Thriller will be part of this program! That I can see Averbukh choreographing.

Pechalat and Bourzat to skate SD to Moulin Rouge!

[golden411]

Hmmmm ... P/B's FB post seems ambiguous to me.
The text portion of their post says that their SD "theme" is "Paris ♥ Paris". And they have posted a vintage illustration of Le Moulin Rouge.
Not clear (at least to me) whether that means they will skate to music from the movie Moulin Rouge ... although I guess they're saying at least that their SD will be inspired by Le Moulin Rouge.

ETA:
So that would mean polka inspired by Le Moulin Rouge??

[dorispulaski]

If it's inspired by Paris, there is such a thing as a "French Polka"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polka

The feminine and graceful 'French polka' (polka française) is slower in tempo and is more measured in its gaiety. Johann Strauss II's Annen Polka op. 114, Demolirer polka op. 269, the Im Krapfenwald'l op. 336 and the Bitte schön! polka op. 372 are examples of this type of polka

Here's the Viennese Choir Boys at the annual new year's concert performing a French polka, Feuerfest

Then they could do a march to something like the March of St. Cyr, if they did not want to be too typical by using La Marseillaise.

They are just teasing us!

Artur Gachinski RUS
SP
LP 'Secrets' by One Republic, orchestra version

[dorispulaski]

As the GS article reports

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva has 2 each of SP & LP, so these might not be the program she finally selects

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4fv9o3M8oo - SP "Story of Love" (choreo Tom Dickson)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfqjlfEilA - LP "Dark Eyes" (choreo David Wilson)

[blue dog]

Artur Gachinski RUS
SP
LP 'Secrets' by One Republic, orchestra version

I have a feeling that his LP is the same music that Davis/Ladwig will use for SP.

[colleen o'neill]

I think this has the makings of a very nice program for Gachinsky

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smhumcONIm4

I'm not sure , is this Tom Dickson's work ? I know he was working with Mishins students ..

( Artur , don't throw out the details )

[seniorita]

Dickson wAs working with many students of mishin, not just the known ones. This choreo of Arthur is dickson's. I don't know who choreographed his sp.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfqjlfEilA - LP "Dark Eyes" (choreo David Wilson)

The sp music on the video ( choreo Dickson) is "The Summer of '42" , by Michel Legrand. I didn't know it, I read it. When Liza said Story of love, she meant lovestory music, the sp by Wilson.

[colleen o'neill]

Thanks, [I]seniorita[/I] .

Both of these programs of Elizaveta's look promising as well.

For what it's worth, I heard from a couple of friends at 8 Rinks that Richard Dornbush's With or Without You SP is being choreographed by Mark Pilay. Although I am not 100% sure, I think it's worth mentioning.
