And it's great - I really love your writing. I am also very glad to find one more Stephane Lambiel fan :).<br /><br />Also sorry for replying to other posters first (I am the last 'Anonymous') - I simply couldn't stop myself from writing what I did.<br /><br />Back to the topic - I agree with you in general. At the same time, I don't think it can be said that in the examples given by you skaters are skating with no regard to the lyrics - they are just showing their own stories based on those lyrics, interpreting them in their own ways. Also, despite agreeing with you about the literal use of lyrics, I must say that there have been cases where I have enjoyed programs in which words are acted in a more literal way. It depends on each program - and it's too difficult to explain what makes one different from another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-49273750342146934842012-12-31T19:34:49.286-05:002012-12-31T19:34:49.286-05:00To the previous 'Anonymous' - probably to ...To the previous 'Anonymous' - probably to you 31 is middle aged, so in this case I can't say that I am not middle aged. But, as 'morozombie' wrote, Bobrova/Soloviev's FD is not about autism. Apparently you prefer programs where everything is clear at the first view even for the dumbest. Yes, sometimes such programs are good, but I like also the ones where not everything is easily understandable, programs with some mistery, those that can be explained/translated in different ways - if only they look interesting to me. Those programs have an added value for me. You can call them avant-garde if you want, but actually 'avant-garde' is not an expletive. I don't know how it came to be that for some people it is (an expletive). In truth, not all programs that you might want to call 'avant-garde' (the ones that you don't understand and find "weird") are such, because generally "avant-garde" means "ahead of it's time".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-71417694349186003452012-12-31T19:15:47.528-05:002012-12-31T19:15:47.528-05:00Sorry, I forgot that it's 'Jose', not ...Sorry, I forgot that it's 'Jose', not 'Hose' in english (it's 'Hose' in latvian - my native language).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-73457644100951925112012-12-31T19:13:10.894-05:002012-12-31T19:13:10.894-05:00To Anonymous and you - Yes, anything sexual on ice...To Anonymous and you - Yes, anything sexual on ice/stage is a shame and "terrible". Definitely. Or not - if only you don't think that sexuality itself is a sin and a shame. It's strange how many people haven't noticed that 'Carmen' is very much about sexuality. It's not a beautiful and romantic love story. Even what Hose feels towards Carmen is more of an obsession, than love. But Carmen doesn't love him at all, although in some versions there is a moment were she comes close to it - as close as she is able. In truth, she just uses Hose and plays with him, and obviously gets her pleasure from having such (mostly sexual) power over him. So, what's so wrong about a program that actually shows that? <br /><br />Plus, as modern dance elements are used in Virtue/Moir's 'Carmen', it's much more ice "dance", than Ilinykh/Katsalapov's FD that has no any dance choreography in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-23274773580426291962012-12-15T14:20:18.865-05:002012-12-15T14:20:18.865-05:00...

And the Cookie monster with that chewing sound would be awesome! :D:D<br />COming back to the earlier discussion, while I agree absolutely with everything in this post, I will add smth that will probably horrify our dear blogger. I think this FD has more flow, more speed and more aesthetically pleasing lifts than Carmen. While it is atrocious as a concept and its execution, it does have a unity and coherence as a dance. OTOH, I think Carmen, while techinically very difficuly indeed, is a slapstick of acrobatics pasted together along with some leg kicking, crotch grabbing and a weird sexual innuendo lift. I think both are a shame..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382436146860017151.post-76602353683701759672012-11-15T06:32:39.941-05:002012-11-15T06:32:39.941-05:00Dear old Morozov.

I find it cringe worthy enough if skaters sing along/mouth lyrics in exhibitions. <br /><br />If only there was a couple out there who would answer this by doing a programme to dialogue only, with constant gunshot fire as basic rhythm; oh, and also a section with rubber duck squeacking, oh, and thinking of rubber ducks, there should also be a part of acting out Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. To any dance couples out there who are interested: Post here, I choreograph this absolutely free of charge, perfectly suited as an Olympic free dance.<br /><br />Btw. our Eurosport commentator absolutely loved it, it seemed very avantgarde to him.<br />The Pink Tulipnoreply@blogger.com
