  • American Repertory Ballet Names Ethan Stiefel New Artistic Director
    For Immediate Release Contact: Dan Bauer, Marketing Manager 609.658.2826 [email protected] American Repertory Ballet Names Ethan Stiefel New Artistic Director NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ (November 16, 2020) – After an extensive search, American ​ Repertory Ballet (ARB) announced today that Ethan Stiefel will become its new Artistic ​ Director beginning July 2021. “This appointment marks a wonderful new era for our organization,” says Board Chair DonnaJean Fredeen. “We believe Ethan Stiefel’s unparalleled expertise and innovative vision will bring American Repertory Ballet into an exciting new chapter. We are delighted to welcome him, and look forward to supporting his leadership.” Stiefel began his professional career at age 16 with the New York City Ballet where he quickly rose to the rank of Principal Dancer. He was also a Principal Dancer with Ballett Zürich and American Ballet Theater (ABT) where, in July 2012, he gave his final performance. It was described by The New York Times as “daring, explosive, and laced ​ ​ with risk.” The Star Ledger lauded Stiefel “among the greatest dancers America has ever produced.” “I am very fortunate to again have the opportunity to become an Artistic Director,” Stiefel says. “I believe most arts organizations have taken stock during these times and are exploring ways to pioneer, diversify and reinvigorate how they approach their internal culture while seeking to offer current and relevant inspiration for communities and audiences. I am looking forward to helping American Repertory Ballet emerge from these challenging times and to being a part of developing the art form within the organization and the communities we serve.” Stiefel served as Artistic Director of the Royal New Zealand (RNZB) for three years, which followed his position as Dean of the School of Dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA).
