BalletGirl Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Does anyone know if, when, and where the ABT Studio company does performances? Also, ABT has the new Associate Program for students and I was wondering if they will do performances (associate program performance and/or perform with the company) as well. Link to comment
PAmom Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) I know that Studio Company is touring this week in New York state, I think Rochester and another location. Their performances will include Peter Quanz's "Spring Scape", Jessica Lang's "Oblivion", Brian Reeder's "Tea and Temptation" and the pas de deux from Laura Gorenstein Miller's "Milk Pool." If you go to the ABT Studio CO. Performances site, they have information that is a year old! LOL, sorry about that, no wonder it looked familiar. Their dates for the Skirball are so similar. As far as I know, the Associate Program (now The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre) has only ever had a performance in the ABT studios. t Edited September 27, 2004 by PAmom Link to comment

dcportrait Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 This may be old news, but The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre is slated to perform a piece with Studio Company April 20, 2005 @ Jazz at Lincoln Center. The piece is being choreographed by Jessica Lang. I know that Studio Company is touring this week in New York state, I think Rochester and another location.

drb Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The ABT Studio Company is currently having a Nutcracker Season in the LA area. They constitute the professional base of Ethan Stiefel's Ballet Pacifica, while Mr. Stiefel prepares to launch his "new" company in mid-2006. Former ABT dancer Brian Reeder produced their version of the Nutcracker. On opening night the already highly acclaimed Leann Underwood was the Sugar Plum Fairy, and her Cavalier was Eric Tamm. A review by Laura Bleiberg in today's Orange County Register of the opening night performance reports: "Underwood, only 16, possessed special poise and willowy, expressive arms. She connected all the steps and gestures of this well-known dance with a freshness that made it feel like an inevitable response to the music, rather than an athletic test with which to impress us. Like Underwood, Tamm also is blessed with natural physical ability, but he used it to serve his partner, the ballet and the music rather than as a way to win applause." The full review, which includes a photo of the lead couple, may may be found by clicking http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/enter...icle_885197.php Later this season ABT dancers Stella Abrera and Sascha Radetsky will guest star in the lead roles. Gillian Murphy is expected to join the company next Fall. Ballet Pacifica has its own thread under Other American Ballet Companies. Link to comment
megdance8 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 does anyone know exactly what the studio company is and how they pick the people to be in it? Link to comment
carbro Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi, megdance. The Studio Company is an intensive program for twelve pre-professional dancers aged 16-20. Some participate for one year, some for two, before going on to their careers. There's a page devoted to it at ABTorg.. For information about auditioning, you should inquire on BalletTalk for Dancers, our sister site. We are audience oriented, but the discussion on the Dancers' board is heavily oriented towards dancers and their many concerns -- opposite sides of the footlights, if you will. I'm sure you'll like it there! You'll have to register there separately, and when (if) you do, please keep the same screen name. Meanwhile, I'm happy to welcome you to BalletTalk -- just plain BalletTalk -- and I hope you'll find a moment to visit our Welcome Page and tell us a little about yourself! Link to comment
carbro Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Dale has posted the press release announcing ABT Studio Company's year-end -performance at the Joyce Theater in New York. I am closing this thread, so any further discussion can follow there. Link to comment
