Helene Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Dance Magazine did a profile of Carla Korbes in it's February 2010 edition, which has been posted to its website. Korbes will make her debut as Aurora this Saturday afternoon, 6 February, in the Ronald Hynd production of "The Sleeping Beauty". Körbes remembers talking with Boal about their first meeting, how she seemed completely fearless then. “Peter reminded me that as a kid in Brazil I could do anything, but at NYCB I grew to believe that I was bad at everything,” says Körbes. “That’s what’s hard about ballet: You build a belief system and it can crush you.”When Boal became artistic director of PNB in 2005, he invited Körbes to follow him—thus providing PNB with a versatile and arresting soloist. As a new import to PNB, Körbes was named a 2006 Dance Magazine “25 to Watch.” Link to comment

ABT Fan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wow. That's great news. Congrats to her! Link to comment
Helene Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Congratulations to Korbes! Earlier in the year she said she wasn't sure where she and husband Patrick Fraser would live -- he's been in LA -- but it looks like they're starting their married life in LA. Link to comment
sandik Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I was sorry to hear that Charlie Hodges was leaving the company -- he's been a phenomenal dancer -- but I think this should be a very interesting development in Korbes career. Link to comment
SandyMcKean Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Didn't Charley Hodges dance with the Seattle Dance Project for a while? Link to comment
sandik Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If he did it was fleeting. I remember him best in the Tharp Afternoon Ball at PNB, and he may have been involved with some work at the university, but I don't really remember him in a SDP capacity. Link to comment
SandyMcKean Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Tharp Afternoon Ball at PNB Thanks sandik.......that's probably what I was thinking of. Link to comment
