Pacific Northwest Ballet

Article Abstract:

The inaugural Seattle season of the Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) started in 1978 with 21 dancers and five apprentices. The company has acquired many Balanchine ballets, 22 at the time this article was written. Kent Stowell and Francia Russell, the directors, are native to the West and had experience with George Balanchine's New York City Ballet. The directors have generally demonstrated prudence in acquiring standard ballets and commissioning new works. The PNB also has a school and rehearsal complex.

Melbourne

Article Abstract:

The Melbourne Dance Critics Exchange of Melbourne, Australia held a symposium in late 1995 to discuss the revisionist version of 'The Nutcracker' ballet first adapted by the Australian Ballet in 1992. The 'Exiles and Revolutionaries: The Nutcracker in Australia' conference was held at the Victorian College of the Arts. The consensus of conference attendees was that the 1992 version of 'The Nutcracker' choreographed by Graeme Murphy imposed an appropriate and valid national identity on the work.
