Dance critic Judith Mackrell of The Guardian has written a post<\/a> that credits “the Artsjournal dance blog” for “chatter” and “wishful thinking” in our hopes for an ambassador for dance on the model of Pavarotti.
\nSo does Mackrell go on to prove how stupid this whole topic is? No! She borrows it whole hog for her own column, after making it properly British. (She doesn’t want an ambassador for dance worldwide, but a missionary for British dance.)
\nIn case you’re curious, our<\/em> chatter starts here<\/a>, then goes here<\/a>
\nand here<\/a>
\nand here<\/a>
\nand here<\/a> and here<\/a>.
\nAnd of course it’s all over the place–it’s a conversation. A lot of you contributed. Thank you for that!
\nUPDATE:
\nTonya Plank (a.k.a. Swan Lake Samba Girl<\/a>),<\/strong> who’s been contributing all along (thank you, Tonya!), writes in this morning:
\nYay, we started a trend! I think Carlos Acosta is a great ambassador for the Brits. I’m dying to read his memoir. I think the person who nominated Nureyev was right on the mark, too. If only he were still alive… Baryshnikov isn’t as interested in being in the public eye anymore; somehow I think Rudi would be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
