Resto. Bar. By: The Foodie Station | https://thefoodiestation.com Barcino It's difficult not to dream of Spain the moment you set foot in Barcino. Latin for Barcelona, the Capital of the Catalan community in Spain, is also home to the resto bar's founders who wanted to bring an authentic taste of their homeland into this side of the globe. The sophisticated and classy interiors maintain a homey and relaxing atmosphere making the place both friendly and welcoming to eager customers. And the music, we were so tempted to stay up all night and de- stress over our favorite glass of sangria and music evocative of our Spanish heritage. Yes, Barcino ignited within us an appetite for great food, but to add to that, the place also sparked a desire to experience Spanish culture all over again. Too much gusto and we haven't even touched on food yet! A trip to a Spanish restaurant without having at least a sip of Sangria would be nothing short of a disappointment. So, we made sure that before the night ended, our alcohol fix would be satisfied. One by one our dinner was brought out and set right in front of us. We started with the Chorizo and Cheese platter, then Paella Mixta, Patatas Bravas, Gambas Al Ajillo, and Barcino's Callos A La Madrileña. A meal is never complete without dessert, or in Spanish, postres, and to cap off the lovely evening, we enjoyed Churros con Chocolate. Barcino has something special for everyone for every meal and even in between. Their dream is to share their well-loved traditional recipes that convey the warmth, ingenuity, and passion felt in their chefs' Spanish homes. Barcino loyals may avail of their Club del Vino membership cards which are valid for one year and can be used at any of their branches.

    THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET 1 2 SWAN LAKE MELBOURNE 23 SEPTEMBER– 1 OCTOBER SYDNEY 2–21 DECEMBER Cover: Dimity Azoury. Photography Justin Rider Above: Leanne Stojmenov. Photography Branco Gaica Luke Ingham and Miwako Kubota. Photography Branco Gaica 4 COPPÉLIA NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dame Peggy van Praagh’s fingerprints are on everything we do at The Australian Ballet. How lucky we are to have been founded by such a visionary woman, and to live with the bounty of her legacy every day. Nowhere is this legacy more evident than in her glorious production of Coppélia, which she created for the company in 1979 with two other magnificent artists: director George Ogilvie and designer Kristian Fredrikson. It was her parting gift to the company and it remains a jewel in the crown of our classical repertoire. Dame Peggy was a renowned Swanilda, and this was her second production of Coppélia. Her first was for the Borovansky Ballet in 1960; it was performed as part of The Australian Ballet’s first season in 1962, and was revived in subsequent years. When Dame Peggy returned to The Australian Ballet from retirement in 1978 she began to prepare this new production, which was to be her last. It is a timeless classic, and I am sure it will be performed well into the company’s future. Dame Peggy and Kristian are no longer with us, but in 2016 we had the great pleasure of welcoming George Ogilvie back to the company to oversee the staging of this production. George and Dame Peggy delved into the original Hoffmann story, layering this production with such depth of character and theatricality.

  • January 2020 Resident Choreographers
    ® Global Resident Choreographer Survey JANUARY 2020 Summary Dance Data Project® (DDP) has conducted an initial examination of resident choreographer positions globally within the ballet industry. DDP found that among the 116 international and U.S. ballet companies studied, a significant majority have hired men as resident choreographers. The study reveals that 37 of the 116 ballet companies surveyed globally employ resident choreographers. Twenty-eight of these 37 companies have placed exclusively men in this position (76%). DDP found that 22 of the 69 U.S. ballet companies surveyed employ resident choreographers. Sixteen of these 22 domestic companies have hired exclusively men in this position (73%). DDP also found that 15 of the 47 international ballet companies examined employ resident choreographers. Only 2 of these 15 companies have hired exclusively women (13%), although one international company employs four resident choreographers (1 woman, 3 men). © DDP 2020 Dance DATA Global Resident Project] Choreographer Survey Introduction A note about resident choreographers: The position of resident choreographer is one of the most secure opportunities for the otherwise freelance choreographer. The position offers a contract with a steady salary, the possibility of benefits, a group of dancers with whom to workshop, time, access to set, costume, lighting designers and a regular audience. Most ballet companies do not employ resident choreographers, given the expense of an additional employee and funding regular commissions. Quite often, an artistic director serves as a de facto resident choreographer, regularly creating for the company and producing new works. DDP reviewed as many prominent dance publications1 as possible and consulted several leaders of ballet companies and dance venues in the U.S.

This musicality might have seemed something of a throwback if not for the fact that few choreographers—perhaps not even George Balanchine—have been so precisely and wittily attentive to the structural nuances of a musical score, and if not for the fact that Morris directed his musicality at any genre whatsoever, from un-championed gems of the PRESENTS $25,000+ baroque repertory, to the Carnatic traditions of India, to deep cuts from mavericks like Yoko Ono and Harry Partch.

Weir’s exquisite partnering work and signature dance vocabulary is the perfect choice to bring this story of love and sacrifice to vibrant life.
