dirac Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 New artistic director Dani Rowe talks about her ambitions for Oregon Ballet Theatre.

A dance journalist in Portland since 1979, West has written for publications like The New York Times and Dance Magazine. “I’m skeptical,” West says. “Historically, it’s been extremely difficult to establish a resident ballet company in Portland. OBT has been, at times in its 35 years of existence, hanging by a thread. This is partly because we don’t have a history of community support the way they have in San Francisco, in New York, and I dare say Kansas City.” Link to comment
