California Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Dates have been announced for the 2018 Vail Dance Festival: July 28-August 11, 2018 https://vaildance.org/ I'm not finding any information about a new artistic director, so perhaps Damian Woetzel will continue, despite his new gig at Julliard.

sandik Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Programming for events like this is often done in advance -- Woetzel may already have most of the parts in place for the 2018 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanger Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Tonight Herman Cornejo debuts "Suite of Dances" by Jerome Robbins (and coached by Damian Woetzel). Anyone going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 In the wrap-up email just sent on the 2018 festival, they included the dates for 2019: Join us next year from Friday, July 26 - Saturday, August 10, 2019 for the Vail Dance Festival. I haven't seen any announcement that Woetzel is stepping down, now that he's dean at Julliard, so perhaps he plans to continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I was in Vail for a number of days over the first week, so through the International Evenings. Saw three performances and one rehearsal. No mention was made about Woetzel leaving (though I thought it had been announced quite some time ago). He was very present and involved, so one had no indication that there was any succession planning going on. I did see "Suite of Dances" btw - both in rehearsal and in the International Evening II.

mom2 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Found this article from 2017, saying that he will step down from Vail: Woetzel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peg Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I’ve wondered how he can juggle it all. However, in the interview with Woetzel that the Conversations on Dance podcast released last week, he said that he plans to continue his presence and that the timing of the Festival is at a good time of year when activities at Juilliard are on summer hiatus. I guess we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
