Palomo Spain y el Ballet de Nueva York

"No todo lo que brilló fue oro en el escenario del NYCB el pasado jueves por la noche durante el estreno mundial de Play Time de Gianna Reisen, sino el medio millón de cristales de Swarovski incrustados en nuestros diseños de Palomo que se refractaron sobre el comienzo de la primera partitura de ballet de Solange Knowles", exponía el diseñador español en su cuenta de Instagram haciendo referencia a sus diseños, que vieron la luz por primera vez el pasado 28 de septiembre en el Lincoln Center de Manhattan en un evento dentro de la Fall Fashion Gala 2022, una cita que aúna danza y moda y que fue ideada originalmente por la actriz Sarah Jessica Parker en el año 2012.

Detrás de Palomo Spain se encuentra Alejandro Gómez Palomo, un joven cordobés nacido en 1992 que siempre tuvo claro que le gustaba el mundo de la moda. “Mi pasión por este mundo empezó muy joven. Yo tenía la colección de Barbies más importante de Posadas y copiaba para ellas diseños de los modistos que amaba. Al final, no solo vestía a mis muñecas de fantasía, sino a todo aquel que pasaba por casa. Por eso mis padres pensaron que, además de haberles salido un niño marica, tal vez podía llegar a ser un buen diseñador de moda”, reconocía.

Y es que más de 800.000 cristales Swarovski han adquirido un particular protagonismo en las abrumadoras prendas que no han dejado indiferente a nadie.

Wendy Whelan, principal dancer New York City Ballet

"Dancing in a ballet company really bonds people for life; it's like being in the Army together," says Whelan.

Not every dancer can be a ballerina, and not every ballerina gets to dance with the New York City Ballet. So when one makes it, and then stays with the company for three decades, it's a big deal. Wendy Whelan is that ballerina. And on Saturday night, at 47 years old, she'll give her final New York City Ballet performance before she retires.

"I'm sure I'll get very emotional after," Whelan says. "I don't expect to get emotional during. It's not my style, I just don't do that. But I'll probably enter a depression, and I just know that I will do that because I always do that after a big ballet experience. ... But this is the end of a ballet career, so that's a bit bigger than just a season of ballet."

NPR sent Erin Baiano to photograph the prima ballerina as Whelan prepared for one of her last performances of "After the Rain," choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and performed with her longtime partner Craig Hall. The pair received five curtain calls after the performance.

Audience members cried as they watched Whelan dance: Her body can still communicate a sort of universal poetry. To hear her story, click on the link above.

Tanaquil Le Clercq and Jerome Robbins

Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq

Of all the great ballerinas, Tanaquil Le Clercq may have been the most transcendent. With a body unlike any before hers, she mesmerized viewers and choreographers alike - her elongated, race-horse physique became the new prototype for the great George Balanchine.

Her unique style, humor and authenticity redefined ballet for all dancers who followed.

Amazingly, she was the muse to not one great artist but two; both George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins loved her as a dancer and a woman. Balanchine married her and Robbins created his famous version of Afternoon of a Faun for Tanny. Tanaquil Le Clercq was the foremost dancer of her day until it suddenly all stopped. On a tour of Europe, she was struck down by polio and paralyzed. She never danced again. Written by Director, Nancy Buirski.
