The Masochism Tango: Why Finland Took The Archetypal Argentine Dance To Heart
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:11:44 -0800
"It seems the melancholic music is a perfect match for the typical Finnish soul. 'It's a little bit sad, and it's beautiful,' a woman tells me at a dimly lit Helsinki restaurant that regularly hosts dances. Paradoxically, when she moves to these sad melodies, she feels happy. (She didn't want to be named, her reason being another national trait: shyness.)"...

A clip-by-clip guide to her work....

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:51:09 -0800
Alastair Macaulay: "Not that its standards of delivery were low; what was dismaying was that the competition … elicited from the dancers a great deal of what is anti-artistic, sensationalist and trite about ballet."...
A Pina Bausch Naysayer Eulogizes Her Work
Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:35:11 -0800
Alastair Macaulay: "What is scarcely diminished by Ms. Bausch's death is the art of dance. There were good dance moments in her work, but they were usually of secondary interest and choreographically of no lasting import. Her big-scale dance episodes were mainly wild and vehement forms of not quite coherent expressionism. Another strange component of Ms. Bausch's dance style was bad ballet. The way her performers would make a point of forcing themselves to do adagios, turns and jumps … was part of the extraordinary masochism she often placed onstage."...
