My good friend and fellow Winger mate, Matt Murphy, strolled into rehearsal this week and took some pictures of me rehearsing for Balanchine’s Ballo della Regina. Merryl Ashley, former New York City Ballet ballerina and orginator of the female lead and ballet master Clinton Luckett, coached me in the role.

“Ballo”, as it is called among the dancers, will receive its premier by American Ballet Theatre on Tuesday, October 23rd, at our opening gala performance danced by Gillian Murphy, technician extraordinaire, and myself. More performances will be danced by Michele Wiles and Maxim Beloserkovsky and Yuriko Kajiya and Herman Cornejo.
