“The Russian dancers do have stronger, more identifiable feelings for that work and Pushkin’s writing, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be transferred,” Tomasson says. “The story is so human, so timeless. The company will rise to the challenge. They’ll learn and grow. I have full confidence that they will tackle this.”. Details: Friday-Feb. 3, War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, $48-$285, 415-865-2000, www.sfballet.org. Smuin’s work makes up the bulk of the company’s winter/fall season program, including his Argentine fantasia “Tango Palace,” the steamy pas de deux “The Eternal Idol” and his masterly, uncharacteristically somber “Stabat Mater,” which he created in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. In many ways, “Dear Miss Cline” represents Seiwert coming to terms with Smuin’s influence. Known for her rigorously abstract choreography, she has found that narrative offers its own rewards.

With temperatures in the 80s, they marched around the block before ending at a rally, um, gathering at Da Kine Island Grill, where Klein took the microphone. “San Francisco had a parade for the Giants. Oakland had a parade for the Warriors,” he said. “This is our warrior, from San Jose!”. Stonie, mild-mannered when he’s away from the dinner table, was nothing but gracious. “I didn’t expect this many people to show up for this, this is incredible,” he said. “Just your guys’ support and everything, it really helps out.”.
Ratatouille: The Adventure, Walt Disney Studios’ Park in Disneyland Paris, This dark ride would seem to employ a perfect concept: use a delightful movie as a departure point and put it in a park in the movie’s hometown of Paris, Instead, the result feels like a step back in terms of technical expertise and a throwaway despite the gobs of Euros probably spent to build it, The one-note storyline is basically just a frantic chase scene, not enough for even a trailer preceding the latest Disney/Pixar release, much less a Disney-quality theme park experience, A secondary problem is that the trackless carriages don’t enrich the experience: basically, they pull up in front of a screen, quiver around a little, then move the rider to subsequent 5 ballerina charm ballet silver 23x13mm by tijc sp0458 screens as Ratatouille scurries under tables and away from those pursuing him… unlike in Mystic Manor and Hunny Hunt, the rider feels he/she is watching a short movie of Ratatouille being chased, rather than feeling like the one being chased, The final nail in the coffin is what 3D screens with 2014 technology looks like through 2018 eyes: grainy, a bit smudgy and cheap, Disney announced last summer it will bring a version of this attraction to its France Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot in Florida sometime in the future, Some unsolicited advice: refinements are required..
The event that precipitated the formal naming of the band was the wedding of (Pacifican and drummer) Mark Baumgarten’s daughter. “July of 2012,” Cossette said. “Mark wondered if we could play for his daughter’s wedding. We were interested and really committed to some serious practice. But all along, some of our kids would step in and play with the band, and we used to joke about them playing with the “Old Men.” Now most of our kids have moved out and the music we are playing is the music of our youth. The name, The Old Man Band seems to fit the bill.”.
