...Starched Tutus. Dance's new girl, it seems, is a guy-Antony Bassae. Along with the nine other "ballerinos" of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Bassae performs in satin toe shoes and starched tutus. The Trock less than two years ago started in Manhattan Soho lofts and neighborhood shoebox theaters. This week it makes a leap into respectability with a four-night stand at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In addition to aiming choreographic broadsides at such sacred swans as George Balanchine ("Go for Barocco") and Martha Graham ("Phaedra/Monotonous"), the Trock delivers a few pointed comments on Tchaikovsky...

David Warner, remembered from Morgan (see CINEMA color), and Diana Rigg, onetime heroine of ABC's The Avengers...
...different kind of tune. It lies in the midst of tfie finest concentration of first-rate music and dance festivals in the U.S., if not the world. In the summer, more and more of the major U.S. symphony orchestras and dance companies are packing their tubas and tutus, fleeing the sweltering cities for theaters in the sticks. And many of them are settling in and around the place where Diamond Jim and Bet a Million used to gambol...
