I was watching a clip of the nutcracker on youtube and someone complained about the ballerina dancing as clara because "an adult playing a 12 year old is creepy" and guys. I think we need to shut down takes. No more takes until we figure out what's going on.

Danganronpa Another 2: Voice Artist Headcanons.

Two things with this.

These are not canon voice actors, this is just who I would like to see voice these characters if SDRA2 was ever considered an official game.

This post is not meant to diminish the official dub of SDRA2, nor am I claiming that the voice actors who work on that project are heavily inferior to official licensed voice artists. 

This is just me being a voice actor fanboy, and that’s all that you need to know.

promotion predictions?

I know many disagree with me but I very much think Joseph Sissens is going to be made a principal this year. He's going to be dancing Siegfried a lot, there is imbalance in the principal ranks, and he's been a first soloist for over a year.

I would be very surprised if Mariko Sasaki isn't promoted to first soloist.

I can see Joonhyuk Jun going to first soloist. More far-fetched but maayyyybbbeee Sae Maeda.

Daichi Ikarashi, Isabel Lubach, Nadia Mullova-Barley, Marco Masciari, Amelia Townsend: I think any of them could go up to soloist

The most shocked I would be is if Viola Pantuso isn't promoted.

I can see Marianna Tsembenhoi being promoted as well.

I'm annoyed that I can't read curly wurly text properly dkhkgjhkd Hideyoshi's "fake Edo era name" here does not seem to be the usual "Hisayoshi", but I can't tell what it says.

Nobu's one here is "Ota Harunaga" 小田春長 as usual, and Toshiie is "Saeda Inukiyo" 左枝犬清 (THEY USED HIS "INUCHIYO" NAME TO MAKE THE FAKE NAME, NOT TOSHIIE AHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA). Can't read Hideyoshi's. I think it looks like "Matsushita"-something.

And the funniest part of it is "Saeda" is written as "Sa-Eda", just to obfuscate his name even further LOL. It's clever, but also very funny. The kanji for "Maeda" is spelled as "Mae-Da".

Also, while trying to find if there's a website that gives the kanji for the names, I saw that the Museum of Boston website labels 左枝犬清 as being read "Sae Kensei". I don't see furigana on the prints, but unless there is furigana in the catalogue or something, then I wonder if someone at the museum screwed up because they failed to recognise the parody.

This is from another print, this one involving a fake Yoshimoto, but it's part of the same "series".

I'm not sure "Miyako Shinsuke" is right either. Again, unless the ukiyoe printers are the ones who provided funny readings on purpose so that it can pass the censors, 郡新助 is probably supposed to be read as "Koori Shinsuke", a parody of Mouri Shinsuke (long "o" sounds can be written as either "oo" or "ou").

European/American Dance Companies Asks

As it seems from the website, Francesca Hayward was promoted to a principal in 2016. However, she made her debut as O/O in Swan Lake last season. Why did it took her so long to be given that role?

Listen, not every company is like the Bolshoi, where you just show up and are given O/O willy nilly. I jest, but first of all, there’s simply not always enough shows for every principal to get one and there also not always enough time for countless casts to be rehearsed. Although to be fair, ROH do prep quite a lot of casts. They do SL frequently of course, and while I’m unsure if she had any injuries that caused her to miss out on an earlier seasons’ run, I’m quite confident that her participation in CATS certainly could have delayed it a season or two depending on her schedule and form. 

Thoughts on Elisabeth Beyer? I found her incredible... wish to see her dancing in the ROH or the Dutch National or the Staatsballet in Berlin

She’s very exciting and is finally in the main company corps as of this June! Hopefully she’ll start getting more opportunities soon!

Do you have promotion predictions for the Royal Ballet or ABT this year?

ABT: Carols Gonzales and Fangqi Li have the roles to make a push this Met Season. I  also think Jake Roxander’s potential is very high but he’s very young but Jaffe is not McKenzie. I  would also like to see Zimmi Coker out of the corps. I would be shocked if anyone goes to principal, they could use another guy but I’m not sure they’ve got one ready just yet.

ROH: I think Not promoting Daichi Ikarachi would be crazy, especially after wining the Eric Bruhn Prize. I know there’s a push for a new male principal, either Luca Acri or Joseph Sissons but I think someone has to retire, they just have too many. I am hoping for Annette Buvolli and Mariko Sasaki to be first soloists and I think Sae Maeda and Joonhyuk Jun should be soloists. Yu Hang to first artists as well. ROH is so difficult, there are so many talented people. 

Thoughts on Alina Cojocaru?

An angel sent from heaven. She’s never allowed to retire- I don’t make the rules. 

Do you know if Madison Penney is in a company? She graduated from Royal Ballet School in 2022, in a seemingly high position, having danced Raymonda in the grad performances. I would find it strange if she wasn’t hired by the royal but there seems to be no indication of a company on her instagram?

Getting into the Royal is no cakewalk, they not only have to compete with the graduates but also the prix prize winners. I thought I remembered her going to BRB? But she’s not on the site. I don’t really keep up with her.
