ballerina1023 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Does anyone know if any company contracts were given to SAB students following the workshop (whether it is NYCB or otherwise)? Yesterday, a UPS man dropped a package off at the office where I work. He noticed my NYCB calendar hanging in my cubicle and my desktop wallpaper (a picture of Alexandra Ansanelli in Coppelia). He commented on my liking ballet and said that his daughter was just given a contract to NYCB. He then said that his daughter is Olivia Goodrich, who danced Princess Florine in the Aurora's Wedding Section of Sleeping Beauty in the workshop. He was a very nice man & I said that he should congratulate his daughter! Again, I know the message board is not for gossip or speculation, but I was wondering if any *official* releases were made as to who has been accepted into the company. I checked on the NYCB website under the dancers section, and no new additions are listed. However, I remember in the past, the website isn't always the quickest to be updated. Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Ballerina1023 - I'm closing the thread, but I'll do some asking and I'll reopen it as soon as there's some sort of announcement or official word from SAB or NYCB. [i'm just closing it to keep the unconfirmed rumors to a minimum.] For what it's worth, I think most of the graduates will be offered apprenticeships rather than full company contracts, and apprentices aren't listed in the roster or put on the website. If people need to email me off-board about the subject, go ahead. Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I haven't forgotten you So far, the press office has confirmed two contracts from Apprentice to the company: Christian Tworzyanski and Stirling Hyltin. There is a possibility of more apprentices getting contracts in the next few days and I've asked them specifically about the apprentices named from the school. I'll post as soon as they respond.

Leigh Witchel Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Here's the list from the NYCB press office of dancers offered apprenticeships. Men - Tyler Angle Vincent Paradiso Women - Likolani Brown Maya Collins Olivia Goodrich Lauren King Sara Mearns Tellingly, the list I had gotten from a good reliable inside source. . .was slightly wrong. That's why it's best to wait for official confirmation. Slightly wrong can be an embarrasment! [postscript by LAW - "wrong" is unfair. Just different from what ended up being the final outcome - but it's still a good reason to wait for official confirmation!] Congratulations to all! Link to comment
BW Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Thanks for the official news, Leigh. Congratulations to all! I'm looking forward to seeing them in some Winter season performances. Link to comment
ballerina1023 Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Thanks for the follow-up, Leigh. I second BW in looking forward to seeing them during the winter season. Perhaps I can catch a glimpse of them when I travel to Saratoga next month. Also, it will be wonderful to see another Angle performing with the company. Link to comment
sneds Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Adrian Danchig-Waring is also now listed as a member of the corps on the NYCB website. Kate Link to comment
Miss Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 At our SAB parents orientation, we were told that 22 advanced SAB year round students were offered professional contracts. I was impressed! Miss Link to comment
bellepoele5 Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Thats great for SAB, if anyone has an idea of the full listing of who went where I'd love to hear. I know it gets printed into the SAB newsletter but I don't think it does until the fall so a heads up would be nice. thanks Link to comment
BW Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 After reading the post in today's Links forum about Carolina Ballet... I decided to read a bit more about this company and its dancers and found the name of Zlato Fagundes - and am wondering if this is the same person who was injured during, at least, part of the SAB Workshop performances this year? I'm sure there are many other notable names on this roster, but his caught my eye initially. Link to comment
JRB Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Yes, it is.Radoslaw Kokoszka was also in the performance and is with them now. I saw that on the SAB Workshop.org page. Link to comment
