  1. Just now, AB'sMom said:

    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.

    Women sue fraternities on similar grounds, even though they aren’t members of the fraternity. 

    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.

    I think it speaks volumes about NYCB and their respect for women that they chose to paint Alexandra as someone looking for a "payout."  The nature of her requests in the document for injunctive relief and other consideration seem reasonable considering there has been damage done to her career and mental health. 

    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.

     The relationship alone between should have raised concern, at least in some places, even if she was 18 when it started. 

    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?

  5. 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. 

  6. 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.

    Jokes aside, Chase Finlay and Sara Mearns performed one of the worst Mozartiana I've seen some time ago so the "not honoring the original choreo" does apply to the NYCB dancers as well. 

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

    That’s interesting because something similar happened last year — after about three hops or so, she put down her free leg for a moment to help steady herself and then continued with the hops. If I remember correctly, she stayed on pointe when this happened. It looked like a spontaneous correction, not a rehearsed simplification. It sounds like she did something different, but at the same moment, this year. 

    So basically she came off pointe after about three hops, then went back up on pointe and continued them? 

    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.
