Diamond began filming Dancemaker just as Taylor was preparing to choreograph Piazzolla Caldera, the finest dance he has made since his 1991 masterpiece, Company B. In the new piece seven men and five women pair off to perform slinky tangos with a brittle, self-conscious physicality that has the ragged edge of barely controlled violence.

He has lost all his Venezuelan holdings, which he had pledged as collateral for government loans to the banks. Charged with having violated an order not to leave Venezuela, Castro says he departed because the Caldera government's suspension of civil liberties denies him a fair hearing.
