ViolinConcerto Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I was alerted to an interesting article about Damian in a Boston Paper. There was a nugget about this in the New York Times the other day, but Boston claims him as one of its own. Here's a quote Tonight and Dec. 21, Woetzel, a Boston Ballet School alum, returns to his roots by dancing the role of the Nutcracker Prince in Boston Ballet's production of ''The Nutcracker." Woetzel has also spent the fall at the Kennedy School. He's studying for a master's degree in public administration, one of the rare students accepted to the program without a bachelor's degree. As the article indicates, Damian is impressive to more than just a ballet audience. Here's the link: http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/arti..._turning_point/ It mentions that at 38 he's been with the company for about 20 years. Seems like yesterday we were first dazzled by this incredible dancer. He doesn't dance like a 38 year old, either: he's still spectacular. Long may he dance, and may he have as great an impact in the area of the intersection of culture and government; his chosen area of study. Link to comment

Bill Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 He conceivably could make a real difference in public funding for dance and the other arts if he pursues a public policy career. Link to comment

b1 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 but Boston claims him as one of its own. Indeed we do! Damian was my Fritz a llloooonnnngg time ago during the E. Virginia Williams days of Boston Ballet. A little mischevious one he was! A great fun to have in a cast and in a class. Link to comment
