 'Ondine'
by Catherine Pawlick
March 16-17, 2006
“Ondine” brings a charming, if tragic story to the Mariinsky Theatre, a ballet filled with technical and dramatic challenges and room to develop and grow into them. Pierre Lacotte is to be commended for his production, and one hopes that this time it will remain in the company repertoire for years to come.

Talking with Trey McIntyre
by Dean Speer

Dance in Russia
by Stuart Sweeney
The early 1920s spawned a golden age of avant-garde art in the Soviet Union and today we can still savour the Constructivist paintings of Kasimir Malevich and the cutting-edge films of Dziga Vertov and Grigori Kozintsev.
