dirac Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Q&A with Jodie Gates, the new artistic director of Cincinnati Ballet. Quote Will you make immediate changes? No, I’m sticking to my three-year plan, which is to spend the first year observing and listening. I’m already finding ways that we can bridge the gaps, through community engagement, with the curriculum in the academy and by building repertory for the company. I will be teaching company class weekly. I will be in the studio rehearsing with the dancers. For me, it’s to get to know the artists in the room and relay my vision and my hope to be a good coach and mentor for them. Link to comment
