Barbora Kohoutková BARBORA KOHOUTKOVÁ Barbora Kohoutková started ballet training at a very early age. She was chosen at the age of 4 by a pre-ballet school of the National Theater in Prague and got accepted to the Prague Dance Conservatory when she was 10 years old. Barbora started her professional career at the age of 17 in Helsinki as a Principal Dancer with the Finnish National Ballet (1996-2002). Before becoming a guest principal dancer she worked with the Bavarian State Ballet – Munich (2002-2003), Boston Ballet (2003-2004) and Hamburg Ballet-John Neumeier (2004-2008). In her career she has danced the most important roles of almost the entire classical repertoire in its original form and in productions by Ben Stevenson, Natalia Makarova, Rudolf Nureyev, Vladimir Bourmeister, Sylvie Guillem, Wayne Eagling, Toer van Schayk, Bruce Marks, Frederick Ashton, Mikhail Fokine… Besides the classical repertoire she also performed in choreographies by George Balanchine, Jiri Kylian, John Cranko, John Neumeier, Jorma Uotinen, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, Heinz Spoerli, Mark Morris… As a guest artist she has been performing in Essen, Helsinki, Milano, Moscow, Munich, Prague, Rome, St. Petersburg, Tokyo (World Ballet Festival 2002 and 2004), … Sadly, due to injuries, she had to cut short her beautiful career at the early age of 28. After having undergone multiple surgeries and stoically enduring much physical suffering, Barbora had to retire from the stage and began a rewarding career as a Ballet Master and teacher, occasionally still performing as a guest Principal. During the season 2009- 2010 she worked as Ballet Master at the National Theater in Prague. As a guest teacher she has been invited at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, China Beijing Dance Academy, English National Ballet School, Finnish National Ballet, Harvard University Dance Program, National Ballet of China in Beijing, National Ballet of Prague, Prague State Opera, The Tokyo Ballet, Vienna Opera and Ballet… Barbora’s personal experiences of injuries and injury prevention brought her to discover and specialize in Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis®, becoming a certified instructor and an expert in the field.

  • The Prima Ballerinas of the Kirov
    Philippe Jordan MD CLINIC 23 23 Elystan St, SW33NT.London. Feb 2017 THE PRIMA BALLERINAS OF THE KIROV Диана Вишнёва DIANA VISHNEVA C A T A L O G U E PHILIPPE JORDAN France 1962 The Wandering Banker, Moscow. To survive in the harsh reality of Moscow, the financier Philippe Jordan spends his evenings drawing Indians, creating ballerinas, and meeting oligarchs. And it helps! Philippe is quite an unconventional banker. During working hours he is deals with derivatives, futures and options, but in his private time he makes paintings on glass, and art from paper. “It seemed to me that there was always some magic at the Ballet: the music played, the notes came alive, the ballerinas flew in the air” Philippe was born in Strasbourg, and his stepfather, Robert Grossmann, not only was the vice- mayor of the town of Strasbourg, but also a long-term associate of Nicolas Sarkozy – “the man who thirty years ago taught the future French president the art of public speaking.” The former president of France also has one of Jordan’s works: a courier delivered it, and after a few days, Philippe received a letter of thanks. Unconventional by nature, again in 2010, Philippe invited his friend in Moscow, the French author Michel Houellebecq, who once compared Philippe’s works to those of Giorgio de Chirico. The story of their friendship is downright amazing. After reading the novel "The Map and the Territory," Jordan was shocked - the book’s main character was so much like him. He, like Jordan, met with Abramovich. And also painted a portrait of Houellebecq.

  • A Mixed Blessing at the Ballet 01
    Daily Telegraph July 28 2001 A mixed blessing at the ballet Photo Sheila Rock As Anthony Dowell leaves the Royal Ballet, dance critic Ismene Brown assesses his 15-year regime as director - and stars pay tribute below AT THE Royal Ballet the countdown has begun to the end of an era. A week tonight, amid flowers, Champagne and tears, Sir Anthony Dowell, the longest-serving ballet director since the company’s founder, Ninette de Valois, will end his 15-year regime. He was undoubtedly one of the great world stars of dancing, and the “Celebration Programme” will mark his achievements as such. But about his success as director of the company, opinion is far from unanimous. What makes a good director? The question has never been more of a poser than during Dowell\s captaincy of the ballet, in the most turbulent years of the Royal Opera House’s history. There are many pluses on Dowell’s account sheet - his maintenance of high classical technical standards, his welcoming of key foreign artists into the Royal (particularly Sylvie Guillem and Irek Mukhamedov), his inspiring coaching, to which leading guest stars attest opposite. The rise of Darcey Bussell to world acclaim, the forging of a superb partnership between Mukhamedov and Viviana Durante, this final, nostalgic and beautiful 2000-01 season - these are positive memories. He will be noted as a conservative, and many welcomed this after an insecure period of modernising under his predecessor, Norman Morrice. Whether conservatism has served the company well for the future, though, is debatable. In the shifting landscape of ballet, conservatism is not enough to hold steady.

  • Sylvie Guillem's Final Australian Performances
    Wednesday 6th May, 2015 Sydney Opera House Presents Sylvie Guillem’s Final Australian Performances 19th – 25th August Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House One of the world’s greatest ballerinas, Sylvie Guillem, will perform her final Australian shows ever at the Sydney Opera House this August as a part of her world tour Life in Progress. This will be the last chance for Australian audiences to see Guillem perform before her retirement from an unparalleled 35-year ballet and contemporary dance career. Guillem will perform six shows only of Life in Progress, a new production created especially for her farewell tour, which includes two new works – techne, a solo from choreographer Akram Khan accompanied by live music, and a duet with Italian dancer Emanuela Montanari from La Scala, entitled Here & After by choreographer Russell Maliphant. The evening will also showcase William Forsythe’s Duo featuring guest dancers Brigel Gjoka and Riley Watts, and Mats Ek’s audience favourite Bye. Sydney Opera House Presents Director of Programming, Jonathan Bielski, said that it is fitting for the greatest ballerina of this era to give her final Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House. “Ms Guillem is one of the most remarkable dancers the world has ever seen and her final bows will be mourned by dance lovers around the world. There is nothing more apt than a dancer of such extraordinary talent giving her final Australian performances atop the iconic Sydney Opera House stage. Ms Guillem’s fourth and final Sydney season will be the last opportunity Australian audiences have to witness the most significant ballerina of our time before the curtain comes down on her glittering career,” he said.
