No apologies, just announcing that the next print issue of Runthru is coming later than expected. Was supposed to launch it last January, but there was just too much going on and now it's March. As I have to reconfigure the editorial line up, as well as reset the printing schedule, best for us to say it won't be coming out any time soon.
In the meantime, check our Online magazine for news and reviews. I promise I have loads to put up this coming week. There's a review of Gaelle Piton's documentary on Philippine dance, some thoughts after seeing Jerome Robbins' Dances at a Gathering at the Hong Kong Arts Festival early this month, and I may talk about a couple of local shows as well.
In between, I plan to start publishing the mini-reviews I received for the Best of 2010 feature that's meant for a January issue of Runthru Print. The rest of the magazine can wait, but this part of it cannot. If you still want to contribute your own nominations for the Best of 2010, do email me at joelle.jacinto@gmail.com.
I'm currently reading Jennifer Homan's Apollo's Angels, which is a very thick, very exciting history of ballet. Not dance, but specifically ballet. I am ecstatic over this because I've been planning to publish my master's thesis as a book on Philippine ballet history, so I have an instant affinity for it as we share the same goals and aspirations in dance writing. Also, when I was supposed to be writing my dissertation on cultural identity in Philippine dance, my mentor at the time advised me to differentiate what makes American ballet American, and Russian ballet Russian and how is it different from French ballet, and so on, until I can find what makes Philippine ballet Filipino. That was such a difficult task! This book makes the task more exciting, though.
Hope there's lots of excitement in your life and dance as well.
