from the article:“The video was also disseminated to be viewed during their fraternity house meeting, the lawsuit states.” That was also the case I had in mind. I think that provides stronger grounds for her suing the fraternity. To me, that makes this different from NYCB’s involvement in what Finlay did.

I think my point was unclear. Affiliation with NYCB is not necessarily limited to being a student or being in the company. I’m not convinced that NYCB’s relationship with Waterbury puts them in a position that they would be liable for what Finlay did to her. I think the kinds of things fraternities get sued for are things that happened at events they sponsor or on their premises. But I can see where there are cases where one or more frat members do things outside of the official fraternity events, but the organization might nevertheless end up being on the hook for those.

By the time she started dating Finlay, I believe she was not working for NYCB nor was she a student at SAB. I don’t think NYCB has any kind of responsibility for her at that point. I think the unnamed NYCB dancers who have had their photos shared would have a stronger case. I hope they find the courage to come forward. I don’t think Waterbury can sue on their behalf.

I think NYCB was probably not as vigilant at the time. They started dating before the Martins allegations came out. At the same time, if Waterbury was no longer a student at SAB when they started dating, how much say can NYCB have in who their employees date? I can see the company being able to place restrictions on inter company relationships as that could be an HR issue, but can the same be said for dating people not affiliated with NYCB?

The plaintiff alleges that it is. If it is, then Im going to be incredibly disappointed in city ballet. We don’t know how much management knew about these goings on. I wonder if NYCB will now create policies about company members taking class at SAB.

This first week of casting makes me want to throw all my money at NYCB. Many exciting debuts. I’m looking forward to Lauren King in Emeralds, as well. I didn’t realize she had done that role previously. ETA: And Harrison Ball’s return! A debut in Tschai Pas is a pretty good welcome back.

Congratulations to the new corps members!

It’s this one with Mira Nadon.

Isabella danced Diamonds at a gala. Hope a NY debut is coming soon!

She looks fabulous. It would be pretty amazing if she manages to pull off a comeback.

If she can work herself back up to dancing shape and up to NYCB's standard, I hope they give her another chance. Unfortunately, I don't NYCB is already overflowing in female talent.

Megan Fairchild on the Interim Team and Jon Stafford:

The documentary is now streaming on Hulu. I enjoyed it very much. Lots of clips of Tiler. I particularly enjoyed watching her work on the Wheeldon Carousel Pas de Deux and The Man I Love (I believe) with Zachary Catazaro.

Sterling Hyltin is retiring Juliet.

That’s great to hear. I now can’t wait to see her in the third movement.

Me too. With Savannah Lowery having left the company, I’m also hoping that Emily Kikta will get another shot at the solo girl in Rubies.

Oh man, I’m still trying to forget that.

interview:

I wonder why they pulled it.

I believe it was Skylar Brandt yesterday.

From my recollection, she had to switch to her other leg two or three times. I think she was definitely dancing through an injury. She also fell over a little when she finished the variation. As a Stella fan, it made me nervous for the rest of the ballet. Maybe I was projecting, but I could feel a lot of hesitation in her dancing Act II. This is also the best I’ve seen Stearns dance.
