Helene Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 William Whitener has resigned from Kansas City Ballet after 17 seasons with the company: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/07/06/3694219/william-whitener-to-step-down.html?storylink=twt http://kcur.org/term/william-whitener He will become a Twyla Tharp evangelist, staging her works for ballet companies. Are any BAers familiar with the Company and his tenure and could shed some light about what this might mean for KCB? Link to comment
shedances Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Have there been any updates to KCB's plans for a new director? Link to comment
sandik Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I don't know -- let me ask around. Link to comment
Dansuer85 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I can tell you that Dracula and Cinderella in the same season would have never happened under Whitener. Story ballets are not really his thing. Link to comment
Helene Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Based on doing the Ballet Alert! calendar and seeing KCB's rep over time, yeah. Link to comment
