News and updates à la Française, part quatre

I think I found my answer on Villard's Instagram.
Loïcia and Théo are training with the ballet on ice team in Marseille.

Will there be any broadcast of Marseille Trophy？

Will there be any broadcast of Marseille Trophy？

I'm not aware there is any, unlike the Trophée de Lys last Saturday (they had a streaming video which was blocked on Sunday).

Villard is streaming its 4 teams live on its facebook page. And Villard senior team will compete between 7:28 an 7:39 local time today. (according to the schedule)

But last week, after the competition (maybe the day after), the facebook account of the CSNBallet was having all the videos of all the teams. So who knows ...
And the CSNBallet instagram account seems to have videos of this season's previous competitions

Thank you so much for the info！I‘m not quite familiar with Ballet. Is the Odyssey program their “free ballet” or “choreography element”?

Thank you so much for the info！I‘m not quite familiar with Ballet. Is the Odyssey program their “free ballet” or “choreography element”?

It's their free ballet.

In the choreographic exercise, all the costumes of a team are similar, tight, black only, with legs covered, no sequins and minimalistic make up.
It has 3 axis, defined for the season.
A theme : art of the street (in Villard's case, a reference to the street artist in Amélie Poulain)
A choreographic process : contrast
Gesture : release
The American Ice Theatre Youtube channel has made a video with examples of how they could use this season's choreographic process and gesture.


In the free ballet, as long as they enhance the theme, fancy costumes, props, (limited) scenery are allowed.

Thank you Nmsis! I like both of their programs!

Here is an article on the gala held in Annecy on April 8, first leg of the French tour. It's in French but machine translation works (almost ) well.

Nice!!!!!

 

[cholla]

Great ITW The rink where Adam trains in Nice is old and rather nondescript but it's on top of a building with great views over the city indeed! It must be the only rink in France from where you can see palm trees. It's by far my fave rink in France and the reason why I love to attend Coupe de Nice whoever is on the roster

And the practice rink for 2012 Worlds - it's one of the most memorable rinks with views that I've ever been in!

Great interview! Did he say all those quotes in English or were they translated from French?

@livetoskate Adam said all that in English. He is very fluent! (Which I’m grateful for, as my French is not good enough to do an interview.)

The rumor has it it could be held in Gap (Southern French Alps). Just like Epinal or Courchevel, not the easiest place to reach. Nearest airport is Marseilles almost 2 hours away.

Coach Roxane Petetin is leaving the Baraban rink in Lyon for the Meriadeck rink in Bordeaux.
Lopareva/Brissaud should follow her, spending 50% of their time in Bordeaux and 50% in Montréal.
Source : Roxane Petetin in Candeloro's streaming show Les Givrés.

Roxane Petetin says Baraban is kind of dropping ice dance for figure skating. I'm wondering what it means for the only french senior synchro team, les Zoulous, who train in Baraban. Many were coming from the ice dance section (like Geoffrey's siblings).

A few news about Marina Anissina were given by Pierre Baudouin, the coach who is leaving Meriadeck. He said that, while she still has her flat in Bordeaux, she's mainly following her children in their tennis career.
