pherank Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 There is an interesting article on the SFB Blog by Muriel Maffre (you can file this one under "What happens to dancers after they retire?") about the Museum of Performance + Design. I've never been there myself, but will have to make the effort next time I'm in SF. Muriel Maffre was a principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet from 1990-2007. After retiring, she received a B.A. in Performing Arts from St. Mary’s College of Moraga and an M.A. in Museum Studies from John F. Kennedy University. She is currently the executive director at the Museum of Performance + Design in San Francisco. For this blog entry, Muriel combed the archives and uncovered some fascinating objects related to the origins of SF Ballet’s history. Museum of Performance + Design website Link to comment
