    Dance Top Ten for 2015

    Dance Top 10 for 2015: Women had an outsized role on this year's list Aparna Ramaswamy, co-artistic director of Ragamala Dance, in "Song of the Jasmine." (Alice Gebura) Laura Molzahn With shows by Wendy Whelan in January, Carrie Hanson in March, Onye Ozuzu in August, Twyla Tharp in November, and the female choreographers of Hubbard Street's winter program this weekend — well, 2015 has proved the year of the woman. That shouldn't be remarkable, because women predominate in dance, but it is. You'll find an unusually high number of additional picks by women in my chronological list below of the top 10 dance works of the last year — along with some fine representatives of the other sex. "Song of the Jasmine," Ragamala Dance, April at the Museum of Contemporary Art: Minneapolis-based mother-daughter team Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy, collaborating with innovative composer-saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, commingled jazz, carnatic music and bharata natyam dance in this synergistic, utterly contemporary evening-length piece. As a performer, Ramaswamy elicited the essence of the feminine; moving precisely, delicately, she used her hands and face so wholeheartedly you could smell heavenly jasmine yourself. "A Streetcar Named Desire," Scottish Ballet, May at the Harris Theater: In a brilliantly structured reimagining of the Tennessee Williams classic, choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, aided by theater and film director Nancy Meckler, wasted not a moment or a step as she created empathy with Blanche (no easy task) and with the story's gay lovers (unseen in the play). In this lush, emotional work — Lopez Ochoa's first full-length narrative ballet — the sparing use of point work gave it all the more impact.

Created specially for The Royal Ballet in 2013, this stunning production tells the story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza, and their efforts to help the young lovers Kitri and Basilio. This revival features exciting debuts from Lauren Cuthbertson, Yasmine Naghdi and Mayara Magri as Kitri and Matthew Ball, Alexander Campbell and Marcelino Sambé as Basilio. Don Quixote For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/for/press-and-media includes a number of spectacular solos and pas de deux as well as outlandish comedy and romance as the dashing Basilio steals the heart of the beautiful Kitri. Don Quixote will be live streamed to cinemas on Tuesday 19 February as part of the ROH Live Cinema Season. Carlos Acosta previously danced the role of Basilio in many productions of Don Quixote. He was invited by Kevin O’Hare Director of The Royal Ballet, to re-stage this much-loved classic in 2013. Acosta’s vibrant production evokes sunny Spain with designs by Tim Hatley who has also created productions for the National Theatre and for musicals including Dreamgirls, The Bodyguard and Shrek. Acosta’s choreography draws on Marius Petipa’s 1869 production of this classic ballet and is set to an exuberant score by Ludwig Minkus arranged and orchestrated by Martin Yates.

    Ifu Aur Main

    IRRFAN AND I Written by Vishal BhardwajTimes Delhi INT. MY HOME - DAY SUPER: 29TH APRIL 2020 It’s lockdown in Mumbai. I have been working from home for the past one month. The phone rings. It flashes M.P’s name on the screen. It gives me tremors. M.P is supposed to be my informer in Irrfan’s agency. I let the phone ring for a while and then take the call fearing the worst. A beat. M.P. He has started improving. Man, this guy is a hell of a fighter. Doctors are hopeful that he will bounce back. I take a deep breath and cut the line. LITTLE LATER I argue with Rekha for serving me less PANEER in last night’s dinner. I complain to her of being biased when it comes to choosing between me and Aasmaan. My phone beeps. I check my WhatsApp messenger (still bickering with Rekha). It’s a message from a friend from America. It reads - ‘Saddened to hear about Irrfan Khan’. I check my Twitter (Still squabbling fiercely with Rekha) to verify the authenticity of it. No news. I rule out the possibility. Times I bring myself to hear what Rekha is saying with tears in her eyes. REKHA What kind of pettiness is this? The phone rings again. It’s M.P once more. I pick it up hurriedly this time. There are sobs on the other side. A bomb explodesDelhi in my heart. CUT TO: EXT. ROAD TO GRAVEYARD - DAY Face masked with a N95 mask and hands covered with a pair of surgical gloves, I travel in my car on the deserted road leading to the Muslim cemetery.
