EVENT DETAILS
CONVERSATIONS ON DANCE with Artist-In-Residence Alexei Ratmansky
Join Conversations on Dance hosts Rebecca King Ferraro and Michael Sean Breeden for a live podcast recording celebrating one of the Vail Dance Festival’s most beloved returning artists, ABT Principal Dancer Herman Cornejo. Called “the most technically accomplished male ballet dancer in the United States” by The New Yorker, Cornejo has spent more than 15 summers on the Vail stage, becoming a touchstone of the festival experience for audiences and artists alike.
The Argentine-born virtuoso joined American Ballet Theatre in 1999 and has since accumulated an extraordinary list of accolades. He is also the founder of the American Dancers Off-Road (ADOR) initiative and Director of Repertoire at ABT. In this conversation, he looks back at his history with the festival and forward to what’s next. Audience Q&A to follow.
A limited number of tickets are sold to each LIVE recording of Conversations on Dance during the Vail Dance Festival.
This episode will be released the same day on the Conversations on Dance podcast feed.
