Seen during the Canadian part of the current tour, Scotch Symphony, Balanchine's musings on La Sylphide, worked best with Yelena Pankova, 25, as the sylph. A springy dancer blessed with a high, light jump, she seemed to grasp the choreographer's oft repeated injunction: respond to the music and "don't think -- do" the steps. Senior ballerina Galina Mezentseva tried to make a romantic story out of this plotless work and as a result looked...
Quietly, Lear recedes as the band of vocal editors suggests fresh definitions: "sensual," "off the nest," "reborn," "glamourized," "well maintained." "Too much like automobiles," trills Lear, shooting across the room like a small comet.

...audience that gathered last week for an evening with Nureyev caught a glimpse of the answer. On-screen, the dancer leaped and pirouetted in a dazzling 20-minute film review of his career. But the best was yet to come. When the lights went up, Nureyev strode onstage for a one-hour interview with Brown. The ebullient dancer talked candidly about his theatrical life, from his youth in the Soviet Union to his present role as artistic director of the Paris Opera Ballet. While performances like that are hard acts to follow, TIME and N.Y.U. are already plotting a regular...
