Helene Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 David Hallberg just tweeted Congrats to friend and a man I look up to for his dignity & class & a writing style apart from the others. about Sascha Radetsky's tweet with a link the the article from NYU that announced the eight Fall 2015 Fellows at the Center for Ballet and the Arts (CBA) at the university:http://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2015/07/28/center-for-ballet-announces-fall-fellows.htmlRadetsky and John Selya are two former ABT alums who are fellows for the fall. The Fellowship program, entering its third term this fall, supports artists and scholars engaging in projects of a variety of disciplines related to the creation and study of ballet. Previous fellows have included filmmaker Fredrick Wiseman, singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, and director-choreographer John Carrafa. This fall’s group of fellows also includes scholar Juliet Bellow, author-producer Joseph Horowitz, art critic Jed Perl, choreographer John Selya, and puppeteer Basil Twist. Link to comment
Golden Idol Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well deserved. From his Vogue articles, I thought him a flavorful and reflective writer, and I look forward to the novel that comes from the time of his fellowship. Is it too much to ask, or too undignified of me to wonder, if it will be a rather saucy roman a clef about a certain ballet company? Link to comment

I can't imagine Radetsky would write a tell-all sort of book about ABT. He's got too much class for that. I've also enjoyed his writing immensely and can't wait to read more of it. Link to comment
Golden Idol Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You're quite right. And certainly not while his wife is still in the company. I was just being naughty. (Still, one can imagine...) Link to comment

I agree that any tell-all would be a detriment to his wife's career, as much as many of us await one of these types of books about a certain company, feeling a bit naughty myself Great Hollywood stuff, not a Black Swan type but a Peyton Place type drama, if anyone recalls that series so very long ago.

sandik Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 a Peyton Place type drama, if anyone recalls that series so very long ago. I actually read the book, which was even more soapy than the television series. Link to comment

Indeed sandik and definitely know Redetsky's narrative will be far less soapy but hopefully more insightful, can't wait to get my hands on his story. Link to comment
