So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. <strong>Ella Es el Matador</strong> reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena: the acclaimed Mari Paz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity. But what emerges as their truest motivation is their sheer passion — for bullfighting and the pursuit of a dream."<br /></p><p>Watch the trailer here: <a href="http://www.pbs.org/pov/matador/">www.pbs.org/pov/matador</a><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479200537805448737-3574205083959298530?l=michaelgalasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelgalassohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14374540220838644426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479200537805448737.post-31794732670449847382009-03-02T19:53:00.001+01:002009-09-03T00:10:30.879+02:00<strong>On February 27, 2009, the Cesar for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE / MEILLEURE MUSIQUE ÉCRITE, UN FILM</strong> was awarded to Michael Galasso for the film, Seraphine.<br /><br /><a href="http://cesar.blog.canal-plus.com/archive/2009/02/28/meilleure-musique-ecrite-pour-un-film.html">Watch the video from the award ceremony.</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Trailer for Seraphine:<br/><br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SRv08OHxSlQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SRv08OHxSlQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479200537805448737-3179473267044984738?l=michaelgalasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelgalassohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14374540220838644426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479200537805448737.post-76286506594766354342008-07-05T17:46:00.001+02:002009-09-05T18:01:19.032+02:00<span class="timestamp published" title="2008-07-01T17:41:36-04:00"><span class="date"><em></em></span></span> <!-- date updated --> <!-- <abbr class="updated" title="2008-07-02T10:45:53-04:00">&#8212; Updated: 10:45 am</abbr> --> <!-- Title -->Spoleto Italy: A Lone Violinist at the Teatro Romano<br /><span class="timestamp published" title="2008-07-01T17:41:36-04:00"><span class="date">July 1, 2008</span></span><br /><!-- By line --><address class="byline author vcard">By <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/author/daniel-j-wakin/" class="url fn" title="See all posts by Daniel J.

(Andrea Kim Mariani)</span></div> <p>SPOLETO, Italy — It was a tour de force of stamina and harmonic invention. For an hour, the violinist Michael Galasso stood alone on stage at the Teatro Romano, back-lit with a spotlight that ran the palette from rose to purple, and poured out arpeggios on his amplified instrument Tuesday night. He barely stopped.</p> <p> Born in Louisiana, Mr. Galasso now lives in Paris. He collaborates frequently with directors and choreographers. At times, he sounded like a demented player of Bach partitas gone all Philip Glass, with occasional hints of bluegrass and Eastern flavors. Some stretches of material sounded classical, like the up and down chords of a Beethoven violin concerto cadenza.</p> <p> The repeated figures seemed to have between 12 and 18 notes each, and frequently changed color subtly, like a slowly turning kaleidoscope. Sometimes they were as fast as 32nd-notes, or slow as 8th-notes, with a metronome beat of, say, 60. His beat was rock steady and intonation solid.</p> There was something hypnotic about it, like listening to Sufi music in a Western cast.<br /><br /><a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/spoleto-italy-a-lone-violinist-at-the-teatro-romano/">From the New York Times, ArtsBeat Blog.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479200537805448737-7628650659476635434?l=michaelgalasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelgalassohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14374540220838644426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479200537805448737.post-75907624102038049792008-06-02T23:31:00.001+02:002009-10-02T23:35:52.143+02:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.wnyc.org/flashplayer/player.html#/play/%2Fstream%2Fxspf%2F75848"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EkM_FrhneIA/SsZxsB2HMMI/AAAAAAAAABs/g42fcnSmKjQ/s320/Picture+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388119005418959042" border="0" /></a>From the WNYC Website, "New Sounds" Radio Program, hosted by John Schaefer<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479200537805448737-7590762410203804979?l=michaelgalasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelgalassohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14374540220838644426noreply@blogger.com0
