We’re delighted to begin with Ballet Idaho’s Artistic Director Garrett Anderson. Anderson has danced with companies such as San Francisco Ballet and Royal Ballet of Flanders, was the Chair of the Dance Department at New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe, and became the artistic director of Ballet Idaho in 2018.
Pas de basque.
That’s hard, choreographing to music you love is difficult. Especially if you have danced to it. I guess I would have to say Bach Chaccone, but I will likely never do it, because nothing will compare to Artifact by William Forsythe. Thanks a lot, Bill. 🙂
Change of costume. Gotta look the part!
Skiing, cello, interior design.
Well, a ballet dancer of course. But always thought after dance I would become an architect or a psychologist
I was fortunate to perform with world class companies in some amazing places. Sold out shows at the Acropolis in Athens, or Millennium Park in Chicago or the re opening of Covent Garden were pretty incredible experiences. That said, transitioning to teaching, creating, and leading is something that was more humbling and maybe even more satisfying, though this feeling is more spread out over many tiny moments and interactions.
