Anyone know if Mark Goldweber is still working for Joffrey?  Anyone care to comment on how he is doing??

[Leigh Witchel]

Yes, he's ballet master there, Golab.

I know him as a friendly acquaintance (several BalletTalkers do) but haven't seen the company since they left NYC, so there's not much I can say beyond that.

What prompts your interest?

As a matter of fact, he's got a speaking part in the upcoming film release by Robert Altman, The Company.

He's also moonlighting as the choreographer of a satirical holiday show called "Roasting Chestnuts".  Check out the Nov. 29 links for a short excerpt, or read this (very positive) review.

Mark is indeed featured as himself in the movie 'The Company'. I saw it in DC this past weekend and I recognized him immediately...kinda neat to be able to turn to my friends & tell them, 'Hey, I know this guy!'  What a delightful film. FINALLY a 'Hollywood movie' about ballet that 'gets it right'!  CONGRATULATIONS to the Joffrey and to everybody associated with the making of this film.
