Tutu Smuggling
by Dean Speer
Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), anytime I wanted my Washington State students to audition for Canadian ballet schools in order to be considered for their Summer programs, we had to go to Canada for these auditions, as Canadian ballet schools were not allowed to audition in the states.

First Glimpses of Corella Ballet
by Carolina and others
The weather was awful, it was raining a lot on Friday afternoon and nobody expected that the performance would take place but as it stopped, everybody, including the dancers with Ángel at their head started throwing away the water and drying the site. The show began more that an hour after schedule in a very, very, cold night, so it was nearly 24:00 h.
But there was great expectation to see what this brand new company looked like after so few time rehearsing together... We knew about the high quality of some principals, and even some corps members, but the whole company really looked very compact, very settled and they succeeded in the three choreographies with great command.

 Synetic Theatre - 'Carmen'
by Morgan -- June 14, 2008, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Family Theater, Washington, DC
Led by Artistic Director (Paata Tsikurishvili), Washington DC’s Synetic Theater, whose name blends the words “synthesis” and “kinetic,” tells stories by fusing music, mime, drama, and dance. Its final production of the 2007-2008 season was “Carmen.” To do “Carmen” Synetic-Theater style, you take a woman in a black bustier and ruffled skirt, hand her a red flower, give her a jealous jilted lover, and make her dance in a cage.
