“After seeing Bourneu0026#39;s Swan Lake, I was intrigued, yet not enthralled to see Car Man- as I love Bizetu0026#39;s Carmen. Although I wasnu0026#39;t expecting opera, and I do appreciate artistic interpretation, I was hoping to get at least some excitement over the dancing as dance was the vehicle for the message. In the interview on the DVD, Bourne seems to be proud that Vincent doesnu0026#39;t look like a dance. Well, thereu0026#39;s a reason for that- heu0026#39;s not. He dances like a ballet school drop out that was given a chance for a lead in a off-off-off production. I find Bourneu0026#39;s choreography clumsy and somewhat over the ability of the dancers he casts. Itu0026#39;s as if he canu0026#39;t find (or wonu0026#39;t pay) high caliber, better qualified dancers to do the parts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the interpretation, has anyone seen his rendition of Swan Lake? -clearing throat- um, same plot… Half clad boys, boy gets girl, boy gets boy, boy gets killed. -yawn- Been there…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m not a dancer, but Iu0026#39;ve attended enough ballet, jazz dance, interpretive dance, opera, symphony and theater to know quality when I see it. I think Bourne could have a masterpiece if he brought in more talent to handle what heu0026#39;s trying to convey. I applaud Bourne for working out of the box, but he falls flat in execution. Needs work”
