ivanov Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I was surprised to see that Sean Lavery and Merrill Ashley are no longer listed in the company roster in this season's Playbill. Does anyone have any sourced information about this? Link to comment
Helene Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Merrill Ashley is listed on the NYCB website as a "Guest Teacher": http://www.nycballet...l/artistic.html Sean Lavery is listed on the faculty of SAB: http://www.sab.org/school/faculty.php Link to comment
Eileen Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sean Lavery has always been Peter Martins' key assistant - I don't know the title, but he seemed to be second in command and had responsibility for devising the repertoire for the season. He also led a panel last year on Balanchine's birthday. That he has lost this job is puzzling to me. Link to comment
carbro Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 According to the Playbill, the Guest Teachers are Arch Higgins, Darci Kistler and Andre Kramarevsky. Merrill Ashley's name is absent. Link to comment
liebs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I believe that Mr. Lavery has retired. Link to comment
