Bad Boys of Dance 2007-08-03 07:51:50 Bad Boys of DanceThese guys have been getting a lot of coverage lately, mainly because Rasta Thomas is the artistic director.

Ballet brings mixed results - Times Union - Albany NY 2007-08-02 09:15:17 Ballet brings mixed results - Times Union - Albany NYFrom the article: The Saratoga Performing Arts Center released preliminary attendance figures for last month's residency by the New York City Ballet. The news was somewhat mixed, with the total attendance of 45,004 reflecting a growth of approximately 5 percent over last summer. That number, however, was reached by a season that included three more performances than 2006 -- meaning that the average per-performance attendance of 2,143 reflected a decrease of approximately 10 percent. This is isn't shocking, is it? The Saratoga Performing Arts Center isn't the only performing arts venue with low attendance.

Doug interviews Stephen Greco 2007-07-27 12:08:12 Doug interviews Stephen GrecoWorth watching. The highlights: 1. Stephen is going to keep DTW going in the same direction while trying to expand the audience base. Wow. Shocking. 2. DTW is getting a new website that is less 'brochure-like.' I'd settle for clear of broken links, I say "it's about time." 3. Stephen is going to push DTW to meet it's potential. He says that there is a lot of young talent in positions of authority who will shake things up. Good news. I think this is a great thing. Greco might be the kick in the pants that DTW has needed. ...
