  28-06-2019 20:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  “[Prumsodun] Ok, a Long Beach, California, native whose parents were Cambodian refugees, not only restages traditional works of Khmer classical dance but also uses the stories and vocabulary of the ancient style to create new works that center LGBTQ+ characters and perspectives. In the process, he’s helped to revitalize and bring global attention to an art form that was nearly wiped out with the vast majority of its practitioners in the Khmer Rouge genocide of the late 1970s.”

  Turns out Stanley Kubrick and colleagues worked on and rehearsed the scene for weeks, and it was highly (if not always clearly) thought out. Then Kubrick died, and the rest of the team had to figure out how to avoid an NC-17 rating without him. Journalist Bilge Ebiri talks to Kubrick’s assistant director and personal assistant, the choreographer (yes, there was one), composer, dancers, and actors involved (though not Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman). – New York Magazine

• Letter: John McLean obituary

  28-06-2019 16:37
  As Charles Darwent observes, the painter John McLean wrote for the Guardian. He was filling in brilliantly for Norbert Lynton, who had left for the Arts Council. I, as arts editor, hoped McLean would take the job permanently. But when he turned up in our offices he brought with him Caroline Tisdall. He had decided, he said, that he couldn’t cope with writing about art and making it too. Caroline stayed as art critic for several years. He fulfilled his ambition, though, as Darwent says, at
