Choreographer
Katherine Healy (pictured) will perform her ice ballet "Through
the Glass, Darkly," in memory of her mentor, the late Olympic
Gold Medalist John Curry, as part of the Ice Theatre of New York’s
program at the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink (on 49th Street
between Fifth and Sixth avenues in Manhattan) on March 19 at
1 pm. Curry, Britain’s most successful figure skater, died of
AIDS in 1994. He was 44.
Brooklyn Heights native Healy, a former principal dancer with
the Vienna State Opera Ballet Company, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo
and the London Festival Ballet, will be joined by Kevin Curtis,
brother of GO Brooklyn editor Lisa Curtis, skating the role of
the premonition. (Rain date is the following day, March 20.)
The performance is free. For more information, call (212) 929-5811
