GENNADI NEDVIGIN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

SHARON STORY DEAN, CENTRE FOR DANCE EDUCATION

In February 2016, Gennadi Nedvigin was named Atlanta Ballet’s fourth artistic director in the Company’s then 87-year history. Nedvigin, born in Rostov, Russia, began his training at age 5. At 10, he was accepted into the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. Upon graduating, he joined Moscow Renaissance Ballet as a soloist before he was invited to dance with Le Jeune Ballet de France in Paris. In 1997, while on tour in the U.S., San Francisco Ballet (SFB) Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson offered Nedvigin a soloist contract. After three years, he was promoted to principal dancer. During his 19 seasons at SFB, Nedvigin won the International Competition’s Erik Bruhn Prize (1999). He has also received three Isadora Duncan Dance Awards (2001, 2010 and 2017). Along the way, Nedvigin was fortunate to work with many world-renowned choreographers. In addition to his dancing career, Nedvigin also taught master classes and staged ballets in the U.S. and abroad before becoming an artistic director. Recently, Nedvigin sat on juried panels at the World Ballet Competition in Orlando, the International Ballet Competition held in Jackson, Mississippi, the Japan Grand Prix and the Youth America Grand Prix. Under Nedvigin’s guidance, Atlanta Ballet has established the Academy training program, which includes a top-tier performance ensemble, Atlanta Ballet 2, representing his commitment to training for the next generation of professional dancers.

Sharon Story joined Atlanta Ballet after a professional dance career that spanned more than 20 years and included tenures with Joffrey Ballet, the School of American Ballet, Stars of New York City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and 10 years with Boston Ballet. Her Boston Ballet tenure included international tours with Rudolf Nureyev. In 1996, along with her role as ballet mistress, Story became dean of Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education (the Centre), which has grown to become one of the largest dance schools in the nation. The Centre is nationally recognized for its programs and community initiatives. Under Story’s direction, the Centre achieved accreditation with the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD). She served as president of the board of directors for NASD. In 2021, Story received Atlanta Ballet’s Dorothy Alexander Award. She received the 2015 Women Making a Mark Award from Atlanta Magazine and was featured in the Arts ATL Legacy Series 2018. Story is committed to providing a noncompetitive atmosphere and access to dance education that is shaped by the community’s needs, is innovative and inspires the commitment and excellence that are the trademarks of Atlanta Ballet.

Agresti has had the privilege of guiding dancers in Tu Tu (Stanton Welch), Classical Symphony (Yuri Possokhov), 7 for Eight (Helgi Tomasson), and Prodigal Son (George Balanchine). She has assisted Lopez Ochoa in staging Frida for Atlanta Ballet and staged the North American premiere of Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon.

At 17, he joined Le Jeune Ballet de France in Paris. In 2000, he joined San Francisco Ballet as a member of the corps, being promoted to soloist in 2006. In 2008, he moved to New York, joining Christopher Wheeldon’s company, Morphoses, performing in its home seasons at New York City Center and at Sadler’s Wells in London. He spent a season dancing with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company before joining the Joffrey Ballet in 2011, where he continued to be a leading artist with the company through the 2018-19 season. Some personal highlights include dancing the roles of Romeo in Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet, Riff in Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story Suite, Fancy Free, Red Man in Lar Lubovitch’s Elemental Brubeck, The Roper in Agnes De Mille’s Rodeo, Levin in Yuri Possokhov’s Anna Karenina, Forgotten Land from Jiri Kylian and Wayne McGregor’s Eden/Eden.

In 2021, he joined Cleveland Ballet as a director of repertoire, where he had the opportunity not only to perform ballet master duties but also was able to return to the stage as a character dancer, performing the roles of Don Quijote in the ballet by the same name and Drosselmeyer in The Nutcracker. This is Permuy’s fifth season with Atlanta Ballet. Claudia Schreier has choreographed, directed, and produced for dance, opera, and film across the U.S. and internationally.

GEORGE BALANCHINE Choreographer Stars and Stripes

MELISSA HOUGH Choreographer Plagued Houses

REMI WÖRTMEYER Choreographer Set & Costume Designer Significant Others

George Balachine transformed the world of ballet. He is widely regarded as the most influential choreographer of the 20th century, and he co-founded two of ballet’s most important institutions: New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet. Balanchine was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1904, studied at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg, and danced with the Mariinsky Theatre Ballet Company, where he began choreographing short works. In the summer of 1924, Balanchine left the newly formed Soviet Union for Europe, where he was invited by impresario Serge Diaghilev to join the Ballets Russes. For that company, Balanchine choreographed his first important ballets: Apollo (1928) and Prodigal Son (1929). After Ballets Russes was dissolved following Diaghilev’s death in 1929, Balanchine spent his next few years on a variety of projects in Europe and then formed his own company, Les Ballets 1933, in Paris. There, he met American arts connoisseur Lincoln Kirstein, who persuaded him to come to the United States. In 1934, the pair founded the School of American Ballet (SAB), which remains in operation to this day, training students for companies around the world. Balanchine’s first ballet in the U.S., Serenade, set to music by Tchaikovsky, was created for SAB students and premiered on June 9, 1934, on the grounds of an estate in White Plains. Balanchine and Kirstein founded several short-lived ballet companies before forming Ballet Society in 1946, which was renamed New York City Ballet in 1948. Balanchine served as the company’s ballet master from that year until his death in 1983, building it into one of the most important performing arts institutions in the world, and a cornerstone of the cultural life of New York City. He choreographed 425 works over the course of 60-plus years, and his musical choices ranged from Tchaikovsky (one of his favorite composers) to Stravinsky (his compatriot and friend) to Gershwin (who embodied the choreographer’s love of America). Many of Balanchine’s works are considered masterpieces and are performed by ballet companies all over the world. Courtesy of New York City Ballet. Balanchine is a trademark of the George Balanchine Trust. Photo by Tanaquil Le Clercq. Melissa Hough is a choreographer, performer, teacher, and producer based in Oslo, Norway. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, she has spent more than two decades working internationally as a principal dancer with Boston Ballet, Houston Ballet, and the Norwegian National Ballet while building a parallel career in choreography, education, and creative production. Raised by two former U.S. Army Field Band musicians, Hough grew up immersed in music and trained across a wide range of dance styles before pursuing a professional ballet career. Having lived and worked in Norway for more than a decade, she brings a perspective shaped by both American and European dance cultures. Her work is informed by a longstanding interest in music, human behavior, and the ways people connect, communicate, and tell stories through movement. She is currently developing Oslo City Ballet, a new initiative based in Norway. Photo by Skjalg Vold. Born in Adelaide, Australia, Remi Wörtmeyer is a multi-award-winning choreographer, dancer, designer (of décor, costumes and fashion) and teacher who trained in classical dance at The Australian Ballet School. Formerly a principal with Dutch National Ballet, he also danced with The Australian Ballet and American Ballet Theatre and guested internationally, dancing on the world’s greatest stages including Sydney Opera House, New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, The London Coliseum and Sadler’s Wells, St. Petersburg’s Alexandrinsky Theatre, New National Theatre Tokyo, the Grand Theatres of Shanghai and Hong Kong, National Centre for the Performing Arts Bejing, Palais de Congrès and Théâtre du Châtelet Paris. Wörtmeyer’s one-act and evening-length choreographic works include creations for Dutch National Ballet, Queensland Ballet, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Benois de la Danse, and a bespoke pas de deux – Penumbra – for Roberto Bolle and Melissa Hamilton (Arena di Verona, 2022). His ballet Significant Others first headlined Atlanta Ballet’s spring season in 2023. Wörtmeyer’s fashion and sculptural works have been exhibited by galleries in Amsterdam, Sydney and Berlin. His collaboration with haute couturier Ronald van der Kamp saw him debut his own high-end handmade sculptural jewelry as part of RVDK’s spring/summer 2023 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Wörtmeyer was named Artistic Director of BalletMet in June 2024 where he will continue to choreograph new works for companies both domestically and abroad.

BEN RAWSON Lighting Designer

Paul Boos was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and relocated to New York at age 15 to study dance on full scholarship first at the Harkness House, then at the American Ballet Theater School, and finally the School of American Ballet (SAB). It was at SAB, while working extensively with both George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, that Boos danced principal roles in Balanchine’s Symphony in C and Robbins’ Dances at a Gathering as part of the SAB workshop. He was asked to join New York City Ballet (NYCB) at the age of 18. Boos went on to dance with NYCB for 13 years before launching into the international scene as a guest teacher, initially with the Royal Danish Ballet where he taught for three years. In 1992, Boos was entrusted by the George Balanchine Trust to become a sanctioned repetiteur. Since then, he has gone on to stage ballets all over the world with such companies as the Paris Opera, Bolshoi, Maryinsky, La Scala, the Joffrey, and others. In 2016, Boos began as Project Associate with The George Balanchine Foundation Video Archives, which consists of two collections: the Archive of Lost Choreography and the Interpreters Archive. In 2021 he was named Director of the George Balanchine Video Archives. Rye Ballet Conservatory, New York, appointed Boos its Head of Pre-Professional Division in 2019. Photo by David Roseberry.
