Here is the company press release:

[Drew]

Wishing her much success!

Interesting hire. She has no previous connection to NBOC, right? Only that she was born in Canada?

And here I thought Chris Stowell would get the nod...

According to the video interview posted by the NBOC, Muir  maintained a relationship with the National Ballet of Canada over the years, assisting with the creation of Crystal Pite’s “Emergence” in 2009 and staging the company première of Christopher Bruce’s “Rooster” in 2008.

Thanks for this -- Emergence is a significant work for them and if Muir was involved, that's to her credit.  I'm really interested in seeing where she wants to take the company in the next stage.
