<P>Julia Adam, SFB Principal and choreographer<P>Here's an article about Julia Adam making her piece for the Discovery series. Apart from sharing some of the practical steps and artisitic background to the new work, the article also describes the framework that Helgi Tomasson has set for the series. <P>She names Christopher Bruce, Mark Morris, Jiri Kylian and William Forsythe as people from whom she has learned her craft by example. So, it comes as no surprise when the interviewer comments, 'This, one gathers, will not be your average, polite venture into academic neoclassicism.' <P>The article concludes with Adam saying, "Of course, I'm still making a dance with a beginning, a middle and an end." One is tempted to mention the French film-maker Jean Luc Godard's addition, 'But not necessarily in that order.' <BR> <BR>Here is the URL for the article and also for Adam's bio as a choreographer from the SFB site:<P><BR><a href=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/examiner/hotnews/stories/28/Sadam.dtl>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/examiner/hotnews/stories/28/Sadam.dtl</a> <BR> <P><A HREF="http://www.sfballet.org/profiles/choreographers/adam.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.sfballet.org/profiles/choreographers/adam.html</A><P>[This message has been edited by Azlan (edited August 10, 2001).]<p>[This message has been edited by Azlan (edited August 10, 2001).]
