The article published on the website of the newspaper The Guardian on Sunday 24 March 2013 is headlined Choreographer Gillian Lynne says 'Reality TV is harming the theatre' by
Vanessa
Thorpe . The article reports about the Gillian Lynne’s attitude to the TV and the reasons for this behavior.
Speaking on
the situation, it’s interesting to note that Gillian Lynne, the doyenne of live
dance as choreographer of Cats, The Phantom of The Opera and Aspects of Love,
who is to receive an Olivier award for lifetime achievement next month. She
told that she senses a growing threat to musical theatre from television.
Reading
this article it's necessary to emphasize that Lynne is the most successful
choreographer of several generations, despite the fact that she is 87 years
old. The Olivier award will celebrate her contribution to theatre and a career
she believes has been built ona commitment to her art and a dislike of
shortcuts. In spite of a close working relationship with Lord Lloyd-Webber, who
uses TV contests to pick out his new stage stars, Lynne fears the reliance on
celebrities has undermined her craft.
It is
necessary to say that Lynne danced the Black Queen in Checkmate, among other
leading roles, at the Royal Opera House, where Dame Ninette de Valois picked
her out as a rebel
The author
draws a conclusion that unfortunately in recent years, Gillian Lynne has
complained that the Royal Ballet has let its dancers forget the sensuality of
dance, but in the West End, where she appeared
on stage on the revue show The Roar of the Greasepaint Lynne blossomed.
As for me,
I understand to some degree her unrest. In fact, now TV has become much more popular than the theater and other cultural programs. So I think that her thoughts is not taken from scratch.
But there will always be people for whom the theater, ballet and so on, will be much
more attractive than TV.
