Maxi3D Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 According to PlaybillArts.com Ms. Murphy is taking a year leave to dance with Ballet Pacifica in its 2006-2007 season with Ethan Stiefel at the helm Isn't that just wonderful or what! Not only that, the article also said that ABT artistic director Kevin McKenzie was supportive of her dancing in the west coast. In the same article, it also mentioned that Ballet Pacifica is looking to break out of its Orange County's confine and heads toward the L.A. area, specifically in the Music Center direction. Further more, Mr. Stiefel is trying to get the rights to Balanchine’s version of The Nutcracker just in time for December of 2006 at OCPAC Not only that, but Mr. Stiefel would like to take the company on tour. All this sounds great but not a done deal yet, and all depends if Mr. Stiefel could raise the money or not. Sources: Playbill.com's article Ocean County Register's article Link to comment
carbro Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks for this, Maxi. drb posted that under "Other Companies" on a Ballet Pacifica thread. I would, at this point, stress that both articles mention that no agreement has been formalized between Murphy and McKenzie. To avoid duplicate discussions, readers who wish to comment should do so under the original thread, and I'm closing this thread. Link to comment
