A message from Sally Brayley Bliss:
 
Thank you to all who have called and written to congratulate us on the launch of 
www.antonytudor.org.
Your feedback means so much to us.
 
Phase II of our website will include a video library and an online Tudor Syllabus. We are eager to collect and share any video footage, documents, remembrances or insight you have to offer. 
 
Please join me in Holiday shopping at our website's "Tudor Store" to support an endowed Tudor scholarship at The Juilliard School. A pledged pre-order for the soon to be released Centennial Book and DVD would make a great gift for fellow Tudor lovers, as would one of our imprint items.
 
Thank you again for all your kind wishes.
 
Happy Holidays to all!
 
Fondly,
 
Sally

 Donald teaching in Colorado
FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM DONALD MAHLER'S GUEST BLOG:
 
"Tudor was the most musical and subtle of choreographers, with an enormous knowledge of music and the most amazing choice of and use of it. A great musician once said that the art lies not in the notes but in the spaces between the notes. This could just as well be true of Tudor's musicality. His use of music is a great difficulty in staging his ballets. The work of the person teaching his ballets is to help the dancers to hear the music not just to listen to it..."

Visitor Feedback 
 
"The new website looks brilliant and is really easy to use - I'm sure I'll be referring to it in the future."- Sally Gibert, Archivist, Rambert Dance Company
 
"The website is beautiful. I'm so pleased to see it! It's a great resource and absolutely gorgeous, clearly organized, full of info. A labor of love, and of smarts, too. Congratulations to all!"- Sarah Kaufman, Chief Dance Critic, The Washington Post
 
"The website is beautifully designed, informative, and important to the global history of ballet" - Emiko Tokunaga, Dance Division, Boston Conservatory
 
"I think the site is a wonderful step in the right direction, and I feel greatful to all the people who made it possible. My only problem with it is a tiny but stinging one -- that comparison of Tudor to Billy Elliot. Yes, it will grab the unsophisticated readers's attention, but it is an insult to Tudor's achievement and the very nature of his personality" - Tobi Tobias, Dance Critic 


While the response to the website has been overwhelmingly positive, a few folks bristled at the mention of Tudor as the original Billy Elliot. Do you agree or disagree?

The Antony Tudor Ballet Trust, in honor of the late choreographer's 100th birthday, proudly presented "The Antony Tudor Centennial Celebration" jointly with The Juilliard School at Lincoln Center on March 29 & 30, 2008.

The weekend brought together generations of dancers, writers and others who were touched by the life of Tudor. The event was highlighted by teaching workshops that reconstructed his class combinations and choreography. Panel discussions featuring dancers, writers and musicians offering commentary on his life and work were attended by over 250 guests and participants.
