About time!  ;)

I recall that they did something like 24 interviews total at the SFB Unbound Festival, but I've wondered if we would actually hear them all.

Looks like SVP is a budding choreographer.  The article is about former SFB principal dancer Victoria Morgan and discusses her plans to showcase emerging female choreographers at Cincinnati Ballet, where Morgan has been Artistic Director for 22 years.

This fall, the "Kaplan New Works Series" will showcase three emerging female choreographers:

• Heather Britt, a Cincinnati native
• Andrea Chermoly, resident choreographer at Louisville Ballet
• Sarah Van Patten, longtime San Francisco Ballet principal dancer.

How will she find the time?  😉
I'm curious to see what she creates, of course. Dana Genshaft has been choreographing small works for a while now - I wonder if SVP has worked with her at all.
Is Morgan looking for contemporary choreography or more classically styled choreography?

Sad to say, Sarah is retiring at the end of the season.  https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/dance/s-f-ballet-principal-dancer-sarah-van-patten-to-retire

I thought she was dancing so well this season. I was at the opening of Program 1 where she performed Mrs Robinson and 2nd act Symphony in C.  Brilliant.
