I love this ballet, John Cranko was a genius The way he tells the history is just great. The Ballet de Santiago is very lucky because Marcia Haydée is our director. Cranko created many ballets for her and now she is here in Chile-such a great Ballerina and Actress. Well I hope you enjoy these pictures, and thanks for your comments.
I took this with my first camera, I remember I was on the stage and running to the the 3rd floor to take it. This is not a digital picture, it’s with a negative, and was the first one I developed in my dark room.
Look how lucky we are, here is Marcia Haydée and Richard Cragun working with Andreza and Luis.
Lidia and Nicolas in the Balcony Pas de Deux with Georgette Tsinguirides.
Marcela and Gabriel, this was the first time he danced Romeo and he did very very good.
Andreza, very nice Juliet.
Ballet de Santiago is a very special company, Marcia always said this company has not just very good dancers, but also has very good actors and that makes this a special ballet company.
Here is Margarita and Paulina in Mercutio death scene rehearsal.
Luis Ortigoza with Marcia and Richard in Balcony Pas de Deux.
Marcia, Andreza and Luis in the last scene.
To me this is a very special picture, Andreza and Luis rehearsal and in the mirror Marcia Haydée and Richard Cragun.
Loreto rehearsing Lady Capulet.
Luis Ortigoza in the Balcony Pas de Deux.
Andreza and Luis.
Marcia.
Marcela and Gabriel, I was her Paris the last time and it is always a pleasure dance with Marcela.
In the stage rehearsal, Richard Cragun, Marcia Haydée, Georgette Tsinguirides and the two Ballet de Santiago Star dancers Luis Ortigoza and Marcela Goicoechea.

So… The season has officially finished and we are now touring in California, OH sunny CA!!!
It was a busy, fulfilling season, sprinkled with some pleasant surprises, and not shy of much hard, grueling work.
Some highlights included:
1) Dancing almost my whole season with the incomparable Gillian Murphy. From Romeo, The Dream, Othello, Swan Lake to Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It was and is always a joy to work with her.
2) Doing Sleeping Beauty with Diana Vishneva. She is in her own right, a truly individual artist, which I can only learn from.
3) Making my debut as Solar in La Bayadere… One of the hardest classical roles for the male and working with Natasha Makarova.
4) Lastly and most importantly… seeing Ferri’s farewell to the stage with ABT. An ABT farewell is like nothing else, and seeing someone like Alex retire is truly unique.
Here are just a few photos to re cap the season…
The Met on the opening. Gearing up for two months of fatigue.
A rare photo before my second performance of The Dream.
A side view of the Met with Avery Fisher straight ahead. I love the geometry of the buildings. Very 60’s..
And lastly, Ferri stands alone on the Met stage, taking her final bows, with the company in the wings.

Cool weather/highway-driving helmet.
Back in it’s resting spot.
So my time in Saratoga Springs with NYCB is now officially over…
:(
I returned to the city yesterday, arriving tired but in one piece. (Can’t exactly say the same for all the buggies decorating the front of my helmet.)
I thought I’d give you one last little montage of images that haven’t made it on yet, before going back into NYC-posting mode….
Aaron Severini, dancer and composer extraordinaire,
in the SPAC parking lot. (that’s Adrian on his Vespa in the background.) I’m still kicking myself for missing his concert at the National Arts Club last month, but I’ll be sure to make it next time and give all of you plenty of notice as well!
The pool portion of the historic Victoria Pool.
(I think I only showed you the lounge area before.) This was a nice place to try to squeeze in some aquatic physical therapy. Wish there were one of these downtown.
My favorite person rode up to spend July 4th with me.
We had grand plans of trying to fit in a stop at Victoria Pool, or a quick ride up to Lake George, but alas, it rained for the entire 24 hours that he was here. Check out the fun stuff he designed for an article about improving the Bloomberg Terminal.
The SPAC dressing room scene.
Look, windows!
The Parting Glass, a downtown Saratoga Pub.
After the show on Friday night this was the only place in town that we could find still serving food. It gradually became populated with more and more dancers as the evening progressed.
Note to Saratoga restaurants… if you serve food late, they will come.
Joe from the NYCB press department, giving Mr. Albert Evans a final approval of photos appearing in the next brochure.
Stephanie Zungre, vocals. Aaron Severini, piano.
During Romeo + Juliet intermission.
Booooo. Theater case is packed.

R+J video for coolhunting.com at Saratoga Performing Arts Center
To my surprise, as my parents and I walked out of the covered section of the SPAC ampitheater during intermission, we saw that they were playing the video I made for Cool Hunting on the making of Romeo + Juliet. It’s a bit different than the Tragic Love videos, as I used music by a band named Au Revoir Simone (thanks Rod!) and it’s a bit of an overview of what was covered in those 9 videos. Any how, it was pretty cool seeing it projected outside on the three big screens in Saratoga.

saying “cross cross cross” in a Russian accent. Ballet teachers
sometimes tell you to pretend you are trying to hold a dollar bill
between your thighs. This is clearly taking that school of thought to
a whole new level.
