NOVEL THINKING

Kaori Sakamoto is a Japanese figure skater. I realized that when I created a piece for «Ice dance international», which is a professional company that cares only about ice dance, about the beauty of dance on ice. Those reasons are subjective to each individual athlete’s needs and their circumstances,” said White, now a commentator for U.S. broadcaster NBC.

[44] [46] [45] Tennell rebounded with a strong free skate, coming in ninth place. Coaching changes by some of the best skaters in the world, most notably PyeongChang 2018 silver medallist Evgenia Medvedeva, who announced last week (16 Sept.) she would be returning to Moscow to work with Eteri Tutberidze having been with Brian Orser in Toronto since 2018. — You are absolutely right in your description, and it is closely related to what I just said. — Adaptation is the key. She is a 2018 Olympic team event bronze medalist, the 2020 Four Continents bronze medalist, the 2018 CS Autumn Classic champion, the 2018 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb champion, and the 2018 U.S national champion. [21] [24] She missed six months of competition over two years, but made her senior international debut in November 2016, at the 2016 Talinn Trophy, where she came in third place. She had to withdraw from a Challenger Series competition early in the season due to the injury, but returned to training one month before her first competition of the season, 2019 Skate America. And the first thing among different arts was music. [21] [41] United Airlines paid for her mother and two brothers to travel to PyeongChang to watch her compete, after the company discovered that the family had set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the trip. We call each other every week or so.

The meaning comes post factum. She is a 2018 Olympic team event bronze medalist, the 2020 Four Continents bronze medalist, the 2018 CS Autumn Classic champion, the 2018 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb champion, and the 2018 U.S national champion. She is a two-time U.S. national champion. She skated a "strong and fluid" program, successfully completing a triple Lutz-triple toe in the opening moments of the program, a double Axel, and her final jump, a triple flip. And second, it’s important to remember that the choreography we are doing is not for a dance, but for a sport — which is totally different. It was the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, and I watched these last two groups of ice dancers 1000 times — I am not kidding! [8] [12] [13] In 2018, she was taking courses at a local community college, to prepare for a possible career in the medical field. I am trying to understand what my skaters feel towards the music, I am not looking for stories. [41] [43] She continued her consistency, with her "textbook technique and reliability in landing jumps". In your mind, do you have a clear strategy—a path—that you as a choreographer would like to follow with Nini? At the initial stages of your career as a choreographer, you also spent quite a lot of time with Russian coaches and skaters: most importantly, with Alexei Mishin and his former and current students, including Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Alexandr Petrov, Andrei Lazukin, and perhaps some other. “There are so many reasons for a skater to decide to make a coaching change. She also added a triple Lutz-triple loop combination in both her short program and free skate and a triple Lutz-triple toe in her free skate, and worked to improve her edges on her triple flip. She earned 204.10 points overall, the highest international score by an American woman since Wagner earned 215.39 points at the 2016 World Championships. I know that some people liked Kaori Sakamoto’s «Amelie» (2017-18), but I was actually disappointed because we didn’t have the time together during that season to refine and work continuously on the choreography, and so by the end of the season it was difficult even to recognize. [24] Reporter Sean Jacobs called this period "dark days" for Tennell; [9] she said that wearing a back brace was "“very tough", [22] and that her mother helped her not give up and to "put things in perspective". When I choreographed Bradie’s «Romeo and Juliet», I was not trying to reproduce any ballet, even though I did watch both classical and modern versions. In your estimation, what were their specific contributions to your choreographic language and style? What I found interesting in your program is a juxtaposition of lovely playfulness and a mechanical ‘tick-tock’ of Richter’s music. We know where we want to go. I saw this work and immediately thought: that’s what I want to do! Although both of my parents had jobs completely unrelated to the arts, they also practiced some music and dance just for themselves. People in figure skating often think that ‘art’ should always be about beauty. [9] When Tennell was nine, she began working with Denise Myers, who had coached figure skaters for over 30 years, including junior-level champion Megan Hyatt. This music has a lot of feelings in it. She earned 147.04 points, a season's-best score, and 222.97 points overall. The changes have not just involved Russian or senior-level skaters.

We need to see who has the ‘free spirit’ and who is more of a structured skater. Overall, however, it was a very positive experience and important leaning process. For me, this program was one of the highlights of the season! She later told Time Magazine that not being able to skate for months at a time was "not very pleasant or fun for me". She earned 139.98 points, less than two points below her season's best, and 212.18 points over all. In hindsight, how would you describe that Russian stage of your career—what kind of experience did it give to you back then? [93] She earned 78.96 points, over 3.5 points more than Liu and the highest-ever short program score at Nationals. Also, I don’t spend time, trying to fix something that is out of my control. She also was given Level 4 marks for three elements and earned the second-highest program component score (34.46 points). “I parted with Lee on good terms,” Zhou told Team USA. She later expressed frustration that the only time she failed to complete her Lutz-loop combination was during competitions, and told a reporter that she was considering removing it before Worlds. But later people were writing articles about it, saying that this was the best music choice at the entire 2018 Olympics. [34] Competing at the 2018 Olympics was a goal, although Tennell told reporters throughout the season that she preferred to focus on one competition at a time because thinking about making the U.S. team could be overwhelming for her. At first some people said: oh, this is terrible, how can you do that? I would be happy to see a program with less technical elements, and another with more emphasis on technique. Last week, you were very busy working with another Japanese skater Rika Kihira. [68] During her free skate, Tennell underrotated four triple jumps, was only able to successfully complete two solid triple jumps, and turned her triple loop into a single jump. She is the 2020 Skate America bronze medalist and the 2019 U.S. junior silver medalist. And while we are on the subject of gender issues: you are one of only a handful of choreographers who worked across all four main disciplines of figure skating: men’s and ladies’ singles, pairs, and ice dance. Kolyada missed the entire 2019-20 season due to a sinus infection. [83], Tennell "had a rough start after her injury", [81] but attended U.S. I think I can say that I have a kind of ‘free spirit’ that allows me to think out of the box. You can like their work or not, but everything they do is very precise, because they work with their choreographers every day. And very quickly I became really interested in dance, particularly modern dance. Ladies' single skating was contested during the figure skating events at the 2006 Winter Olympics. [61] Her free skate included five triple jumps, but she underrotated the second jump of her triple Lutz-triple loop combination and the first jump of her triple flip-double toe-double loop combination.

She is a two-time Four Continents bronze medalist, the 2007 World Junior Champion, the 2006 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, and a three-time U.S. national medalist. Second, I enrich this with my personal feelings. She earned Level 4s for all her elements and received the second-highest component scores. [34] [38]. In your view, what could possibly be done to make this sport a more creative space and to make choreographers’ lives easier? The sassiness and playfulness of Bradie’s protagonist does not work in a straightforward way. She came in fourth place after the short program, with 72.20 points, three points below her personal best score. In this particular program, I was not looking for a Juliet! They don’t try to be beautiful — they try to arouse an emotion by a movement which is not necessarily beautiful or aesthetically pleasing. Historically, figure skating has always been extremely conservative in the way it explored genders, so what we often saw in the past and sometimes see even now is a more traditional way to deal with them in a dichotomous, oppositional way: ‘femininity’ playing with soft lyricism and classical ballet posture; ‘masculinity’ being sharper, louder, and more aggressive, and so on. [76] She came in fourth place after the short program, earning 74.81 points . And while changes can be vast, often times skaters will add someone to their for a particular skill: Jumping, artistic expression, choreography or to up their mental game. [15] She later told a reporter that she almost got lost getting to the event, and began her short program on the wrong side of the rink because it was the first time she skated in a big stadium and there were no lines or hockey circles on the ice like the on rinks she was familiar with. The Russian ladies are arriving in Torino later today so Bradie and Rika drew for them. Tennell began skating when she was two years old, even though she learned to walk late and had to wear orthotics in her shoes to correct a pronation problem in her feet.

In-mid June, Japanese skater Kihira Rika, the two-time Four Continents champion, said she would expand her own team beyond the aforementioned Hamada, bringing in Orser to her team, with the medal stand in Beijing 2022 on her mind. What kind of challenges does working with so young skaters pose and how do you overcome them? When I choreograph, I do it on feeling and instinct; I find overthinking or analyzing it too much in the moment ruins the natural feel.

Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2020. What are the specific challenges posed by each of those and how your own approach differs, if at all, when you switch between them? Boyang Jin’s program had an idea which I created together with the musician, so in this case I spoke at length with the team about the vision. [32] [39] Longman, who reported that Tennell had successfully completed every triple jump she had attempted for three competitions, also said that she handled the pressure of possibly qualifying for the Olympics with no outward sign of nervousness. Do you remember which piece of his you saw there? Even though there are still many technical elements there, we can still do what you want. In one of your recent interviews, you mentioned three modern dance choreographers that influenced your own choreographic vision: Jiří Kylián, Mats Ek, and Paul Lightfoot.

She was also, like at U.S. Nationals, unable to complete her triple Lutz-triple loop combination.
