The appointment was made after an extensive, six-month international search. Castroverde Moskalenko, who returns to the city where she immigrated with her family 30 years ago as a political refugee from Cuba, will assume the leadership role alongside Miami City Ballet Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez on August 7, 2018. As Executive Director, she will lead the company’s institutional strategy, fundraising, and operations, building upon Miami City Ballet’s achievements as it advances its vision for the future. “I am thrilled to welcome back Tania--a Cuban-American woman with tremendous experience in arts management--to the dynamic and diverse culture of our Florida home,” said Lopez. “Borrowing from Maya Angelou ‘in diversity there is beauty and there is strength,’ Tania’s South Florida and Cuban roots reflect the community in which we perform, but these are additional benefits we gain with Tania, because quite simply, she is the best person for the position. She will be a vital force in helping Miami City Ballet advocate our national position and provide the leadership that will allow us to continue to do bold things in dance.” Executive Director Lane Harwell will transition from Dance/NYC this summer to join the Ford Foundation as Program Officer, Creativity and Free Expression, where he will support the foundation’s explorations of how the arts can contribute to fairer and more just societies. “Dance/NYC has flourished during Lane Harwell’s tenure. We look forward to continuing our upward trajectory of growth and impact,” says Dance/NYC Board Chair Elissa D. Hecker. “The Board of Directors thanks Lane for his tremendous years of service and the legacy that he leaves. We congratulate him on his significant new role.” Harwell led Dance/NYC’s transition from a program of Dance/USA, the national service organization, to an independent nonprofit and has served as founding Executive Director since 2013. Under his leadership, Dance/NYC established its core capabilities of advocacy, research, leadership training, technology, and grantmaking to strengthen dance makers and educators and shape field policy, resource delivery, and management practices. Committed to social justice, the organization launched major ongoing initiatives focused on racial justice, disability equity, and immigrant rights.

AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE ANNOUNCED
THE ABT WOMEN’S MOVEMENT MULTI-YEAR INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT THE CREATION OF NEW WORK BY FEMALE CHOREOGRAPHERS ABT WOMEN’S MOVEMENT GALA TO OPEN FALL 2018 SEASON AT THE DAVID H. KOCH THEATRE ON OCTOBER 17 American Ballet Theatre announced the formation of the ABT Women’s Movement, a multi-year initiative to support the creation, exploration and staging of new works by female choreographers for ABT and the ABT Studio Company. The initiative was announced today by ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie. The ABT Women’s Movement will support at least three female choreographers each season to create new works for American Ballet Theatre. In most years, one work will be designated for ABT’s main company, one for the ABT Studio Company and one will be a work-in-process workshop for ABT or Studio Company dancers. Each choreographer will work with her respective group of dancers for a two-to-five week period, receiving guidance and feedback from ABT’s artistic staff. The opening night Gala performance of American Ballet Theatre’s 2018 Fall season will celebrate the ABT Women’s Movement with an evening devoted to works by female choreographers. The Gala program on October 17 will include a new work by tap dancer and choreographer Michelle Dorrance, Le Jeune by New York City Ballet principal dancer Lauren Lovette, created in 2017 and performed by the ABT Studio Company, and In the Upper Room by Twyla Tharp. The 2018 Fall season will also feature a new work by choreographer Jessica Lang. The ABT Studio Company will premiere a new work by choreographer Claudia Schreier for its 2018-2019 season performances, and the Studio Company’s annual residency with Duke University, beginning January 2019, will include a new work by New York-based choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland. The ABT Women’s Movement took shape in 2016 as the Women Choreographers Initiative, having supported the ABT World Premiere of The Gift by Jessica Lang and the return of Lang’s Her Notes during the Company’s 2017 Fall season. The Initiative also funded new works for the ABT Studio Company by Lovette and former San Francisco Ballet soloist Dana Genshaft. In addition, choreographer Pam Tanowitz was in residency with ABT last November on a work-in-process. The workshop explored and developed movement phrases and concepts and culminated in an informal studio showing. “The ABT Women’s Movement takes inspiration from the groundbreaking female choreographers who have left a lasting impact on ABT’s legacy, including Agnes de Mille and Twyla Tharp,” said McKenzie. “This Fall, we are pleased to welcome Michelle Dorrance, who will create her first work for ABT, and Jessica Lang, in her third work for the Company.” “The artistic staff at American Ballet Theatre has embraced and encouraged my work for nearly 20 years,” said Lang. “I am proud to be a part of this initiative. If we can ignite all imaginations to find creative potential, we can move from possible to probable that the future will have equality and be rich with inventive ideas and engaging art.” |
