    Amy Seiwert’s Imagery Presents: SKETCH 3: Expectations world premiere ballets by Marc Brew Val Caniparoli Amy Seiwert July 25–28, 2013 ODC Theater 3153 17th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 All logo and bubble photography by David DeSilva in collaboration with Bubble Master Sterling Johnson Dear Patron: Thank you so much for choosing to come to Amy Seiwert’s Imagery’s SKETCH 3. By doing so, you have supported Live Arts which, in and of itself, is important. But more than that, you have chosen to participate in a unique program. Each year, Amy identi"es a theme and invites stunning choreographers that she thinks have a pertinent message to create dances for Bay Area audiences — dances and choreographers that we wouldn’t, otherwise, be exposed to. Last year, she brought in female choreographers to present their individual message, commenting on the lack of female choreographers in the ballet "eld. This year, she has chosen to focus on process, shifting the focus from who makes the ballets, to how ballets are being made, as a theme. To accomplish this she invited a marvelous local choreographer familiar to Bay Area audiences through San Francisco Ballet, Val Caniparoli, as well as a renowned Australian choreographer, Marc Brew. And, we can thrill to a new o#ering by Amy herself. Michael Smuin once introduced Amy’s choreography by saying: “Amy has more originality in 25 seconds of work than most choreographers have in their entire work.” The SKETCH series is becoming a staple of mid-summer dance in San Francisco... but it won’t be able to continue without your generous support.

  • Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director Announces 2016-17 Dancer Roster Petrocci Retires, Departures Lead to New Faces and Exciting Promotions
    Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director announces 2016-17 Dancer Roster Petrocci Retires, Departures lead to New Faces and Exciting Promotions Contact: Leslie Rivers; 414-510-0052 or [email protected] MILWAUKEE – APRIL 18, 2016 – Artistic Director Michael Pink today announced Milwaukee Ballet’s 2016-17 dancer roster, featuring 18 returning dancers, the addition of five new artists; two promotions; the retirement of Marc Petrocci, and the departure of Susan Gartell, Valerie Harmon, and Alexandre Ferreira at the end of the 2015-16 season. Following his performance in ALICE (in wonderland) in May, Leading Artist Marc Petrocci will retire from his dance career after 13 seasons with Milwaukee Ballet. Petrocci will join wife Courtney Kramer Petrocci in Northern Illinois for new career opportunities, while pursuing the completion of his degree in Economics at UW-Milwaukee. “Milwaukee has been my home these past 13 years. During my tenure with Milwaukee Ballet, I have grown as an artist, athlete, and career professional. Investing myself completely as a leading artist has given me exposure to many facets of this Company, and this has helped inform my choices in my career transition,” Petrocci said. Artistic Director Michael Pink applauded Petrocci’s depth of commitment to the Company, his exceptional artistry, and his appetite for learning about the inner workings of a ballet company. “Marc has been a wonderful role model for all the dancers. He has always advocated for studying whilst dancing to ensure that next step in a dancer’s professional career can provide security and fulfilment,” said Pink. After 13 years with Milwaukee Ballet, Susan Gartell is considering dance opportunities in New York and Europe.

David by Photo achel Furst; R Photo: ImageryPhoto: Artist July 16-19, 2015 asimagery.org Co-Presented by ODC Theater • 3153 17th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 Dear Patron, Thank you so much for choosing to come to Amy Seiwert’s Imagery’s SKETCH 5. By doing so, you have supported live arts which, in of it itself, is important. But more than that, you have chosen to participate in a unique program. Each year, Amy identifies a theme and invites stunning artists, that she thinks have a pertinent message, to create dances for Bay Area audiences -- dancers, choreographers and composers that we wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to. This year, in Sketch 5 | Stirred, IMAGERY is mixing it up. Seiwert has been collaborating with ODC co-artistic director KT Nelson on a new work. The artists edited each other’s work and interrupted each other’s process, in hopes of discovering something entirely new. This type of collaboration is extremely rare in ballet, and completely new to Seiwert. During an intensive creative process in residence at Zaccho Studio, Seiwert and Nelson worked together on creating a series of solos that explore the theme of isolation. The choreographers addressed questions such as: How does one consider the idea of isolation when not in isolation? How does it feel to be isolated in community? Finally, given the choreographers’ different working styles and aesthetics, an inherent focus of the project was the relationship between process and content.
