Helene Posted February 3, 2010 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.”
abatt Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Korbes is appointed as the Associate Artistic Director of LA Dance Project http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/06/25/carla-korbes-joins-l-a-dance-project/?module=BlogPost-Title&version=Blog%20Main&contentCollection=Arts&action=Click&pgtype=Blogs®ion=Body
Helene Posted June 25, 2015 Author 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.
sandik Posted June 26, 2015 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.
SandyMcKean Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Didn't Charley Hodges dance with the Seattle Dance Project for a while?
sandik Posted June 27, 2015 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.
SandyMcKean Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Tharp Afternoon Ball at PNB Thanks sandik.......that's probably what I was thinking of.
