The 1959 show is, on one level, the origin story of the famous mid-century burlesque dancer and noted wit Gypsy Rose Lee née Louise Hovick – adapted from her 1957 memoir by a dream team of book writer Arthur Laurents ( West Side Story), composer Jule Styne ( Funny Girl) and legendary lyricist Stephen Sondheim (insert your favourite from his outstanding oeuvre here).īut the central figure is her mother Rose (Hennig). Though there may be something about this story of an American stage mother in the declining days of vaudeville that just suits the Shaw Festival’s sensibility: Gypsy was, in fact, the first musical to play on the main stage back in 2005, and did quite well back then, too. But director Jay Turvey and a to-die-for set of leads led by Kate Hennig as Mama Rose have simply knocked this one out of the park. I have great confidence in this ski, and it allows me to let go when I attack the big faces.įor the moment, I haven’t tried other models but when spring arrives I am longing to try the freebird models for ski touring.It’s been a long stretch of creaky so-called classics, not-quite-up-to-it stars or directorial visions that miss the mark in the musical-theatre department at Shaw. It is less playful on piste but clearly this is not the aim of the ski. It is ultra-reliable as soon as one has to go fast on the big slopes in the midst of the rocks. The version for truly riding deep powder. The other model that I have tried is the Anima. The Atris is clearly a weapon of combat for all that I do : jumping and fast skiing. The radius of 20 m also give stability as soon as one gains speed.
I particularly like the side-lines, and I am very happy whatever the normal camber with a certain rigidity. I spend the majority of my time off-piste and this model seems to be the perfect compromise. Models of skis used : Principally I use the Atris. I really like their brand values and I feel really good on my new skis. From my point of view, I had secretly dreamed of riding for Black crows. I think that this is the result of a having a very strong brand image and very reliable products. As soon as somebody owns a pair of Black Crows, they have the impression that they are a part of a community. I am very impressed by the capacity of Black Crows to create such enthusiasm. We were very efficient and I think that Flo and Julien considered that my motivation, creativity and availability might be of interest to the brand. For several days we were accompanied by Julien Regnier who took the photos.
Last season I went to film with Flo Bastien, a friend from childhood, in Chamonix for my next film.
How did the partnership with Black Crows come about? This double hat of director and skier particularly suits him and he is already working on two new films, one with Black Crows, the other with O’Neill. It is with the latter that he started to put time and effort into the creative process, with to date, filming three personal projects : Love From Above (2016), C’est dans la tête(It’s in the head) (2017) et Blazar OJ 1983 (2 018).
This notwithstanding, little inclined to the competitive spirit and the semi-liberty of slopestyle, he decided to clear off to devote himself to filming with PVS Productions and above all, Gpsy Feelin. After a few years around the poles and with a time on bumps, he went on to excel in freestyle, where his performances led to his participation in two European X Games. Talented with a round ball, he hesitated for a time between football and skiing, but the call of the mountains soon took the upper hand. Born in Copenhagen, Danish through his mother, Julian quickly left the flat country to go to the Vanoise Massif, and the resort of Tignes.
