Un feuilleton Ratmanski se prépare-t-il? Les négociations entre Alexeï Ratmanski et le NYCB semblent finalement ne pas avoir abouti. Un porte-parole de la compagnie new-yorkaise vient ainsi d'annoncer qu'Alexeï Ratmanski ne rejoindrait finalement pas le NYCB en tant que chorégraphe-résident, en raison d'un programme trop chargé - notamment des engagements avec le Bolchoï et d'autres compagnies - pour les deux années à venir.
The New-York Times - Bolshoi’s Director Won’t Join City Ballet, par Daniel J. Wakin
Citation: |
The New York City Ballet and Alexei Ratmansky have ended their pas de deux. After inviting Mr. Ratmansky to become its resident choreographer, City Ballet said Tuesday that he would not be taking the job because he was too busy.
The two sides held talks this weekend about the offer. Mr. Ratmansky would have succeeded Christopher Wheeldon, who has struck out on his own and founded a new company.
In an e-mail message on Tuesday, a City Ballet spokesman, Robert Daniels, said, “New York City Ballet and Alexei Ratmansky have decided, in light of Mr. Ratmansky’s schedule for the next two years, which includes a number of commitments to the Bolshoi Ballet and several other companies, he will not join N.Y.C.B. as resident choreographer at this time.” |

DANIIL SIMKIN TO JOIN AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE AS SOLOIST
4/30/2008 - Daniil Simkin will join American Ballet Theatre as a Soloist in October 2008. It was announced today by Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie.
Simkin was born in Russia to ballet dancers Dimitrij Simkin and Olga Aleksandrova and was raised in Wiesbaden, Germany, where the family settled in 1990. From the age of six, Simkin often appeared onstage dancing alongside his father. He began his formal ballet training at age ten, under the direction of his mother, and at age 12 he began participating in ballet competitions and galas around the world.
In 2006, Simkin joined the Vienna State Opera as a demi-soloist. His roles with the company included the peasant pas de deux in Elena Tchernichova’s Giselle, the Nutcracker-Prince in Vasily Vainonen’s The Nutcracker, Benvolio in John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet and the Beggar Chief in Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, among others. In 2007, he danced his first principal role, Basilio in Don Quixote, as a guest with the Lithuanian National Opera.
Simkin’s awards include First Prize at International Ballet Competitions in St. Pölten, Austria (2000); Vienna, Austria (2001); Perm, Russia (2004); and Varna, Bulgaria (2004), where he also won the Gold Medal. He won the Grand Prix at the International Ballet Competition in Vienna in 2004 and in Helsinki in 2005. In 2006, he won the Senior Gold Medal at the USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi.

Daniil Simkin avait également réussi le concours d'entrée dans le corps de ballet de l'Opéra de Paris il y a deux ou trois ans, et je crois que c'est peu après qu'il a été engagé à Vienne. Il en parlait d'ailleurs de manière assez ironique dans une interview publiée dans un numéro récent du magazine Danser - Télérama.

Où peut-on le même soir accueillir 4000 spectateurs pour voir la Bayadère et 2750 places pour une soirée Robbins ? A New-York, bien sûr !
Les deux salles sont tous les soirs pleines de curieux de la danse dans la moiteur des belles nuits américaines.
Quelles merveilleuses salles que celles construites en 1966 par Wallace K. Harrison; on y attend une apparition de Jacky Kennedy ou de Audrey Hepburn...
Le public est d'ailleurs un peu d'époque et tout aussi indiscipliné que celui de Paris... Pourtant Angel Corella aura fait le show dans d'incroyables manèges et improbables pirouettes. Un Carlos Acosta européen celui-là !
Encadré par une fougueuse Marisa Lopez et Paloma Herrera, cette version de Makarova offre au spectateur un fil narratif plus simple que la version Noureev de la Bayadère avec ce quatrième acte (troisième ?) apocalyptique. L'acte des Ombres est quasi identique à la version parisienne et a été parfaitement dansé par l'American Ballet. Quelle puissance architecturale, quelle magie et quel génie intemporel de cette rêverie opiacée !... Bon pour le reste, hormis un orchestre très bien emmené par David La Marche, on se dit que nous avons la chance de posséder à Paris une production aussi somptueuse que celle laissée par Ezio Frigerio, Franca Squarciapina et Noureev...
Quant à la Soirée Robbins, "All German and Some Tharp", le New York City Ballet fait le maximum dans l'autre salle pour tenir un public en alerte, mais on s'ennuie un peu...

Breaking news, qui est un petit pavé dans la mare du New York City Ballet : Alexeï Ratmansky va devenir Chorégraphe résident de l'American Ballet Theatre. Il avait refusé l'année dernière ce poste au NYCB, pour des questions de "timing", mais va désormais passer 20 semaines par an avec l'ABT.

ALEXEI RATMANSKY NAMED
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
WITH AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE
9/10/2008 - Alexei Ratmansky, artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, will join American Ballet Theatre as Artist in Residence in January 2009. The appointment was announced today by ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie.
Mr. Ratmansky, whose contract with the Bolshoi Ballet expires at the end of 2008, has signed a five-year agreement with American Ballet Theatre. In his capacity as Artist in Residence, he will create new works, re-stage existing ballets and work as an integral part of the artistic team at ABT. His first work for ABT, set to a score by Sergei Prokofiev, is scheduled for the Company’s 2009 Metropolitan Opera House season.
Mr. Ratmansky was born in St. Petersburg and trained at the Bolshoi Ballet School in Moscow. His performing career included positions as principal dancer with Ukrainian National Ballet, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Royal Danish Ballet. He has choreographed ballets for the Dutch National Ballet, Kirov Ballet, the Royal Danish Ballet, the Royal Swedish Ballet, New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and the State Ballet of Georgia, under the artistic direction of ABT Principal Dancer Nina Ananiashvili. His 1998 work, Dreams of Japan, choreographed for Ms. Ananiashvili, earned a prestigious Golden Mask Award by the Theatre Union of Russia. In 2005, he was awarded the Benois de la Danse prize for his choreography of Anna Karenina for the Royal Danish Ballet.
Mr. Ratmansky was named artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet in January 2004. For the Bolshoi Ballet, he choreographed full-length productions of The Bright Stream (2003) and The Bolt (2005) and re-staged Le Corsaire (2007) and the Soviet-era Flames of Paris (2008). Under Mr. Ratmansky’s direction, the Bolshoi Ballet was named “Best Foreign Company” in 2005 and 2007 by The Critics’ Circle in London, and he received a Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for The Bright Stream in 2006. In 2007, he won a Golden Mask Award for Best Choreographer for his production of Jeu de Cartes for the Bolshoi Ballet.
“I am delighted to have Alexei as part of ABT,” said Mr. McKenzie. “It will be extraordinary to have such an incredibly creative artist working with our dancers on a regular basis. During the 1940’s and ’50’s, Ballet Theatre was home to a stable of choreographers that worked regularly with the Company. As a result, many great works were created. I’m confident that having Alexei ‘in-house’ will result in the creation of wonderful new works that are unique to American Ballet Theatre.”
“It will be wonderful to work with Kevin McKenzie and the brilliant dancers of American Ballet Theatre,” said Mr. Ratmansky. “I am also looking forward to focusing exclusively on my creative work, without the administrative responsibility of being an artistic director, and to a complete change of environment.”
In addition to his work for American Ballet Theatre as Artist in Residence, Mr. Ratmansky will continue to choreograph for companies around the world.
