Promote Courtney Wright! (SFB)

[tikititatata]

Courtney Wright of SFB should've been promoted to Soloist by now!! The promotions at SFB are strange IMO, I rarely agree with the timing. She's beautiful and we deserve to see her in more prominent roles!!!

She's scheduled to dance the Snow Queen at the performance I'll be attending next Friday. I look forward to seeing her!

tikititatata: I saw Courtney Wright at the 12/28 matinee performance, and you are so right: she's a lovely dancer with a beautiful line and crisp, clean technique, perfect for a Snow Queen. Does she often dance solo roles or was this a first? She's definitely someone I'll watch for during the upcoming season.

Peggy, that's so great (I wanted to go, but couldn't), thank you for sharing!

I think she getting soloist roles here and there, more so in the recent seasons, such as Kitri's friend for the full production Don Q, a 2007 piece Concordia which features 2 couples, a fairy variation for Sleeping Beauty (though the entire fairy cast was made up of soloists/corps members and one new principal) -- as far as I've seen.

For 2008 Giselle, I suppose the only soloist roles would be 1 of 3 female roles in the pas de cinq or a Willie soloist? Myrtha!! But I can imagine Helgi casting his vision of "Muriels" of this up and coming generation -- the tall women of the company -- so I won't count on anything. Anyhow, I always notice her in a crowd (as a Snowflake or a Swan corps) which is telling. More contemporary pieces this season, but I hope for good roles for CW!
