I cannot find the thread regarding the information about the showing of "Water Flowing Together". Can someone re-post the info? Many thanks.

I had trouble finding the announcement of the NYCB screening here, too, but info is at NYCBallet.com, and Dale has posted all the screening times of the Lincoln Center Film Society's Dance on Camera Series under Press Releases.

Thanks Carbo,
I had gone on the Walter Reade site and it wasn't listed for January. Thank you for finding it.

I just got tickets for the January 7th film and discussion. I am very excited and best of all, my 2 sons are joining me.

I wonder how much the film will speak to Soto's training lineage as he becomes a teacher himself? I.e., he was such a protoge of Stanley Williams--he embodied so much of what Williams taught, especially about turning. The NY Times article was particularly fuzzy in this regard (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/arts/dan....html?ref=dance ).

I don't recall the film mentioning Williams at all. I tried to pay careful attention. If I have time I'll post some notes.

To a layman like myself, that's intriguing, Ray. Can you be more specific?

I know that Anne Belle had intended a film on Williams, and I believe she'd begun filming, but then he died. One can dream that some day her footage will see the light of day. Or is it already in the library at Lincoln Center?

It wasn't that kind of movie. It was about Jock the Navaho/Puerto Rican/gay dancer who came NY at the age of 14 to study @ SAB and went on to be one of the wordls greatest partners, greatly loved dancer and teacher. It showed the very unglamorous side of being a ballet dancer: the 14 hr rehearsals, the injuries and pain. It showed Jock as the warm, funny, sarcastic and talented person he is.
