    Dancers, including former dancers, have their own communication styles and varying abilities to teach. People have their likes and dislikes, including how and how much they like to rehearse, how much they can and want to learn from different types of people, how tolerant they are of idiosyncracy, and how willing they are to expose themselves to strong influences. All of this is fluid and can change over time. It's not unreasonable that dancers would be open to coaching by some and not others, given a choice. The question is whether the interpretation that has been influenced by the coach will be accepted in the Company. For every thought that rejection is based on insecurity or arbitrariness, there is the possibility that the style doesn't mesh. For example, Francia Russell staged the ballets that were contemporary when she was at NYCB in the style, steps, emphasis, and direction she was given by Balanchine. When Noelani Pantastico and Olivier Wevers performed the second movement of Brahms Schoenberg Quartet with NYCB during the Balanchine Centennial, there was criticism here that the performance was "provincial." Part of the issue (at least) seemed to be in temperament: the sunny interpretation fit into Russell's staging in Seattle, but did not seem to fit into NYCB's performances of the "same" work. Would a dancer coached by Marie Jeanne in Concerto Barocco fit into NYCB's current-day production?

    In the documentary Dancing for Mr. B, there's a scene in which Kent is coaching Darci Kistler (with Ib Andersen) on the final scene of La Sonnambula, which I believe postdates Heather Watts' debut in Bugaku. From the quote, it sounds as if the Ballet Mistress disapproved and Watts chose that side. Other dancers have made different choices over the years. I don't, for example, find Farrell's interpretations of roles made for Adams and Tallchief diluted. I don't think the intermediate or current generations should have said, "I'm not Toumanova, I think I'll go home now." I guess I just disagree with Mr. Taras.

    I second that hope, and to get a dose of opera as well: Nikitin was outstanding in The Demon, which the Mariinsky brought to the Met on the last tour.

    There are two other precedents: both Monica Mason and Karen Kain worked under reigning Artistic Directors.

    I don't see why Farrell must do anything. She's got a company of her own, control over her repertoire, and other companies are thrilled to have her staging ballets and coaching their dancers.
