oberon Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for posting the link to this very good story, amanda. What I like most about it is reading about the encouragement and tips that the established ballerinas gave their little sister. This exemplifies what I have always felt about NYCB: that it's more of a family than most major ballet companies. I don't sense big egos at work there, but big talents and big hearts. I'm sure there's the passing jealousy when someone else is cast in a role you wanted to do, etc. But I think on a day-to-day basis, these dancers mostly like one another...and that must make working there both pleasant and fulfilling.
Petra Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Lovely interview - Sara Mearns must be such a gracious person.
tx2182 Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 She is such a gracious person!!! Peter has a wonderful new gem
justafan Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Lovely young girl. And I think Oberon said it all -- NYCB is a true company, not just a collection of stars.
