dirac Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 A letter to the editor of The Aspen Times on the demise of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Quote We received this week via email the terribly sad announcement of the dissolution of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Co. The loss of this company will have impact throughout the world of dance nationally and internationally and is a wrenching casualty of the pandemic. What inspired us to write is the glaring omission of any serious recognition of the dancers that were, until just this week, employed by ASFB. What happened? Did these young professionals, many of whom have dedicated a majority of their years to AFSB, suddenly vanish and become nameless? Are they just anonymous casualties when, after all, their faces adorn the marketing materials on which the company has relied and have performed the amazing work on which AFSB has built its base of admirers?
