Welcome to the "somewhat" daily journal of the artistic director of the San Diego Ballet. Here you will find musings on the artistic and non-artistic side of running a not-for-profit dance company, as well as the occasional personal aside.

Adios Don Juan
The weekend gave us two very nice performances of Don Juan. The ballet fit organically into the space and the dancers all filled out their roles quite nicely. Best of all, the audience "got" it. They laughed when they were supposed to laugh. They gasped when they were supposed to gasp. Very well received. The nicest thing about the ballet for me is how compact it is. For a 3 act ballet, all of the props and scenic elements can fit into the treasure chest that is used to start the show. So it is all now safely packed away until the next time Don Juan decides to strut across a stage. Onward!
