I just found this extraordinary dancer: Evgenia Obraztsova

The New Neo Posted on January 9, 2016 by neoJanuary 9, 2016

I haven’t really kept up with the Bolshoi and other Russian dancers during the last decade or so, but YouTube has allowed me to start remedying that condition. In the past, I’ve often talked about how the quality of balletic … Continue reading →

The Dying Swans

The New Neo Posted on January 1, 2016 by neoJanuary 1, 2016

I’ve never much cared for the ballet “The Dying Swan.” It’s not really a ballet; more like a short vignette. It was choreographed by Mikhail Fokine near the turn of the century (19th-20th) as a vehicle for international star Anna … Continue reading →

Transformations: queen into swan

The New Neo Posted on December 26, 2015 by neoJuly 19, 2022

[NOTE: This is a repeat of a previous post. It highlights one of my favorites moments in the ballet repertory.] Ballet specializes in transformations. After all, it changes the human body from a lumbering earthbound thing into an ethereal yet … Continue reading →

And all through the house…

The New Neo Posted on December 25, 2015 by neoJune 5, 2022

…a creature was stirring. Last night was Christmas Eve. I was expecting a visit from my son, who was flying in as a rare treat. I had tidied up, and was putting on the finishing touches while waiting for him … Continue reading →

Hansel and Gretel: losing their religion

The New Neo Posted on December 23, 2015 by neoJune 18, 2023

[NOTE: This is a repeat of a previous post.] I love the opera “Hansel and Gretel,” by Engelbert Humperdinck (no, not that Humperdinck or this one; this one). His name may be a yuk, but the music he composed is … Continue reading →

Everything she says is a lie, including “and” and “the”

The New Neo Posted on December 22, 2015 by neoDecember 22, 2015

That Hillary Clinton might lie is no surprise at all, even to her supporters, who shrug it off or rationalize it. And on the topic of lies and the lying liars who tell them, there was mention in the comments … Continue reading →

Donald Trump’s shrug towards Putin

The New Neo Posted on December 18, 2015 by neoJanuary 27, 2016

Take a look at this interview, in which Trump practically defines mindless moral relativism. No doubt Trump supporters can figure out a way to justify it; perhaps something like this: “Oh, Trump doesn’t want to offend Putin, because if he’s … Continue reading →

Sympathy for terrorists

The New Neo Posted on December 14, 2015 by neoDecember 14, 2015

A reader sent me a link to this Cynthia Ozick piece in the Weekly Standard about having sympathy for terrorists: At bottom, an open-hearted willingness to understand “everyone” is an appalling distraction from the intrinsic depravity of the act of … Continue reading →

Happy Chanukah

The New Neo Posted on December 10, 2015 by neoDecember 10, 2015

[NOTE: This is a slightly edited version of a previous post.] Chanukah began last Sunday at sundown. But since it has eight days I still get a chance to wish you a happy one—tonight and for three more days, anyway. … Continue reading →

Obama the coward? Part II will appear tomorrow. Meanwhile…

The New Neo Posted on December 9, 2015 by neoDecember 9, 2015

Promises, shmomises. I had said I would publish Part II of “Obama the coward?” today, but I got busier than I thought I’d be and it’s really too late to polish it up for today. So, something to look forward … Continue reading →

Eduarda Henklein is five years old

The New Neo Posted on December 5, 2015 by neoDecember 5, 2015

She’s from Brazil. And she likes to play the drums: [Hat tip: CDR M at Ace’s.]

Couples and time

The New Neo Posted on December 1, 2015 by neoDecember 1, 2015

This article presents photos of couples when young, and then the same couples years later. Some of them aren’t particularly interesting. The passage of the twenty years that takes a couple from their 20s to their 40s doesn’t ordinarily demonstrate … Continue reading →
