[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. The article laid out the problem clearly: Kent wants to replicate what she already knows from years at ABT and make The Washington Ballet into an ABT-clone company that focuses on the classic ballets already done and done and done again by other companies. Under Webre, the focus was on unique works and a modern energy, and it brought in wider audiences than just balletomanes. The article noted that WB is going to be competing with companies that already cycle through the Kennedy Center doing the same ballets she wants WB to do. Repertoire of classics is vital in ballet but WB also had a good niche going--and she and her backers want to be a world status classical repertoire company, not a "local" company with a reputation for quirky, humorous or rock-based works. And that's a pity.

[b]Losing Brooklyn Mack was also a self-inflicted wound. [/quote][/b]

Where did Brooklyn Mack go?  I Googled him and cannot find anything on his current company other than TWB.[/quote]
