printscess Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Avichai Scher (Avi) is listed as a dancer with LA Ballet and Joffrey. Does anyone know where he is dancing? He is a very talented choreographer. Link to comment
ViolinConcerto Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I don't know about the Joffrey, but the list of dancers confirms what I'd heard some friends - who had run into Avi - say, that he is with that company. I think he was listed with a Sacramento Co. a year or so ago, so he's been in CA for a while. Wish we could see him here (in NYC!) written later, after some sleep: Forgive me -- when I said "THAT Company," I was referring to the LA Ballet and not the Joffrey. I started by saying: "I don't know about the Joffrey" because I hadn't seen their roster. I had checked the LAB roster and saw Avi's name. which confirmed what my friends had said, that he was with the LAB. Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 He's also currently listed on the roster at LA Ballet, so I'm not sure where he is! Link to comment

I remember him being a very kind young man when he was at SAB, and extraordinaryly talented. I have tried to follow his career as a dancer as well as a choreographer. Link to comment

Its a very strange (and brief) placeholder of a website. And a proofreader might be in order. Link to comment

cargill Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I hope he is still choreographing! I saw something he did for the ABT Studio Company several years ago, and was so impressed. Link to comment

He is a very talented choreographer. Thanks for the choreography credit! I'm dancing with Ballet British Columbia in Vancouver now. So far so good, beautiful place to be. Do I know you?

dancinovertheworld Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 He is in SF dancing in a choreographers workshop this summer. no, I'm not... I was dancing in Portland at the Northwest Professional Dance Project. That's where I met John Alleyne, and got invited to dance with Ballet British Columbia. Link to comment
dancinovertheworld Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I hope he is still choreographing! I saw something he did for the ABT Studio Company several years ago, and was so impressed. Thanks! Yah I have been trying to keep choreographing, but it's been hard lately, and I've been busy dancing. I am doing a piece for Festival Ballet Providence this year, one for for the school and one for the company. Link to comment
carbro Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I saw your piece for ABT Studio Co., too, and was very impressed. I hope you have plenty of opportunities to choreograph, because good choreographers are so much rarer than good dancers. Merde to you in all your endeavors, and welcome to BalletTalk! Link to comment

bart Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I hope it's not out of line to post this LINK TO AN ARTICLE written by Mr. Scher at 17. (Scroll down one page.) Mr. Schere describes the process by which he prepared an earlier piece for the Miami City Ballet School. The piece shows an admirable drive to get work done. (He was originally told there would be no time for him to prepare something like that, so he organized the dancers, rehearsals, etc., all by himself.) As an MCB fan, I'm pleased that Edward Villella, Nancy Raffa, and others at the company recognized and praised his work and put it into their school performance. Link to comment
