Allycat the Ballet Cat, Guest Starring Diana diana Vishnevapress package / 1 Biography Described as the most accomplished, the most complete, ballerina in the world today, Diana Vishneva has been thrilling audiences around the world with performances that have been called dazzling, hair-raising, exhilarating, charged with erotic excitement, and so moving that they leave people sitting dazed in their seats afterwards. More than once she has been credited with the ability to stop time through her subtle movements, her technical brilliance, her dramatic intelligence, and her ability to hold a pause. With a repertoire that includes both classic and modern choreographies, Diana Vishneva’s versatility is huge, and her strength, speed, and precision have enabled her to perform works beyond the reach of most russian-trained dancers. Born in St. petersburg, russia in 1976, Diana began her dance training at the age of six, and in 1987 was admitted to the Vaganova academy of russian Ballet. While still a student, she won her first of many prestigious prizes : the “gold Medal” at the prix de Lausanne completion—an honor that no dancer has received since. Upon graduation in 1995, she joined the Mariinsky Theater (Kirov Ballet) of St. petersburg, and in 1996 became a principal dancer, receiving the “Benois de la danse” prize that same year. She soon took part in a program of dancer exchanges with foreign companies, performing at La Scala in Milan and with Vladimir Malakhov’s Berlin State Ballet. it was a 2003 dancer exchange that sent Diana to the american Ballet Theater in New york for the first time, where she has been a principal dancer since 2005. her already substantial and growing repertoire, and the ongoing invitations to perform internationally with different companies have confirmed her as one of the most accomplished classical ballerinas of her generation. in her ever-expanding role as international ambassador for the dance world, Diana Vishneva is also the founder of the “Cultural Fund of Diana Vishneva,” a non-profit organization that will operate in russia, the United States, and Japan. its primary goals are to supply opportunities for underprivileged children to study ballet, and for those already studying to attend performances; to provide financial assistance to both injured ballet dancers as well as retired performers; and to encourage and support new choreogra- phers, ballet programs, and international co-productions. on a recent visit to the Duke Ellington School of the arts in Washington, D.C., Diana was recognized by First Lady Michelle obama, who called her an inspiration and thanked her for her outstanding work in exposing so many young people to the arts. biography “Vishneva is probably the most accomplished, the most complete, ballerina in the world today.” robert gelb, The New york observer, February 2007 2 \ / 3 Biography Birthdate: July 13, 1976 Birthplace: St. petersburg, russia Citizenship: Russia residence: St. petersburg, russia Languages: Russian, English, French Website: www.vishneva.ru “If I could, I would travel www.facebook.com/pages/Diana-Vishneva the world just to see Diana Vishneva dance...

    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.

    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.
