Dancing Times Magazine September 2012 Edizione posteriore

September marks the beginning of the 2012–13 season, and in this month’s magazine we take a look at the various roles artistic directors of dance companies play in the UK and abroad. On page 35, Graham Watts investigates the balance of power between an artistic director of a company and its Board, Margaret Willis travels to St Petersburg to meet Arthur Mitchell, founder of Dance Theatre of Harlem on page 27, Zoë Anderson talks to San Francisco Ballet’s Helgi Tomasson on page 43 in advance of the company’s season at Sadler’s Wells later this month, and Sharon Watson of Phoenix Dance Theatre asks why elite dancers aren’t held in the same esteem as elite athletes on page 19. In addition, Gerald Dowler journeys to Stuttgart to meet British principal dancers Alexander Jones and William Moore on page 14, and Paul Arrowsmith profiles the distinguished theatre designer Richard Hudson on page 30. Next month, the cover price of Dancing Times increases by ten pence to £3.25, our first rise in 18 months.
