Premiere of "Mary" at LaGuardia High School
Secure your seats to by purchasing tickets through this link: Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School Tickets. Don't miss out on being one of the first to see it!
The journey of creating "Mary" has been a soulful collaboration with Rehearsal Director Roderick R. George at my side. His passion, dedication, and creative approach have truly brought "Mary" to life, enabling us to deliver a performance that promises to be unforgettable.
The heart of "Mary" is the captivating music composed by Zen Jefferson. He creates an immersive auditory experience that intertwines seamlessly with the narrative of "Mary."
Returning to LaGuardia High School with "Mary" is an experience that's incredibly special to me. It's here where my artistic journey began, where I first dared to dream, and where those dreams were nurtured. Coming back as an adult, I carry with me a profound sense of gratitude, pride, and excitement to share this piece of my heart with the school that has given me so much.
"Mary" is more than just another piece; it's a testament to the power of dreams, dedication, and the impact that institutions like LaGuardia High School can have on shaping the artists of tomorrow.
Mark your calendars, book your tickets, and join us in this remarkable journey as we celebrate the magic of the performing arts at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School on June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
Stay connected for more updates and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks...like these photos by Loni Landon. Until then, we're eagerly preparing to showcase "Mary" to the world. We look forward to sharing this special moment with you.

Guest Speaker and Teacher at SAB
The School of American Ballet holds a special place in my heart, and I feel truly grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to return, not as a student, but as a mentor to the next generation of talented young dancers.
Stepping back into the classrooms of this esteemed institution, where I once honed my skills, was an exhilarating experience. This was not merely a trip down memory lane but a chance to give back to the institution that played a significant role in my artistic journey.
The young dancers I had the honor of teaching showed dedication, passion, and raw talent - qualities that the School of American Ballet continually fosters in its students. Their eagerness to learn and their persistent pursuit of perfection were heartwarming to witness and even more rewarding to teach.
Under the revered banner of the School of American Ballet, these budding artists are following in the footsteps of many greats who have graced the stages of world-class theaters. It was a privilege to contribute to their journey, sharing insights from my experiences, and helping guide their artistic growth.
Returning to the School of American Ballet, albeit for a short while, was a fulfilling and enriching experience.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Aesha Ash and the School of American Ballet for welcoming me back and allowing me to be part of the incredible work they do. Here's to nurturing the future stars of ballet, and to the continuous celebration of dance and its ability to inspire, transform, and connect us.

Guest Teaching at LaGuardia High School
Creating art is an intimate journey, one that evolves and grows when shared with others. And so, it gives me immense pleasure to share that in addition to crafting my latest piece, I have also had the distinct privilege of teaching at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School.
Teaching at LaGuardia was nothing short of an amazing full-circle moment for me. Walking the familiar hallways, entering the classrooms, and witnessing the eager faces of budding artists – the experience was deeply rewarding, brimming with both nostalgia and hope.
A heartfelt thank you to the remarkable seniors of LaGuardia High School for your unyielding passion and dedication. You have not only been my students but also my inspiration, reminding me why I embarked on this creative journey in the first place.
I extend my deepest gratitude to Ms. Mathesius and Greg for this extraordinary opportunity. Your faith in me, a proud alum, made this enriching experience possible. Your unwavering support has created an environment where artistic talent is nurtured, and dreams are given wings.
This teaching experience served as a reminder that art is not solely about individual expression, but also about sharing knowledge, fostering growth, and inspiring the next generation. As we nurture young talents, we are ensuring the future of the arts, one that is vibrant, diverse, and resilient.
I am forever grateful to LaGuardia High School, its faculty, and its students for embracing me with open arms and allowing me the honor of contributing to its rich artistic legacy.

Guest Teacher for ABT Studio Company
Recently, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of teaching contemporary dance to the gifted performers at the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) Studio Company.
Watching these dedicated artists interpret the fluidity, energy, and emotions of contemporary dance was a testament to their adaptability and immense talent. This expressive dance form, with its blend of ballet, modern, and other elements, challenges the traditional dance norms and encourages individuality. Witnessing these dancers rise to this challenge was truly inspiring.
A sincere thank you to Sascha and the entire team at ABT Studio Company. Your commitment to cultivating talent and fostering artistic growth is commendable. And to the dancers - witnessing your progress, your interpretative nuances, and your boundless enthusiasm was an absolute delight. The future of ballet looks very promising with artists like you.
Keep shining, ABT Studio Company, you look great!

50 years of Prix De Lausanne
My journey with the Prix de Lausanne extends beyond that of an observer or a fan - I've had the distinct privilege of teaching and mentoring the gifted participants in this prestigious international competition. Over the years, this experience has forged an unshakeable bond, making me an integral part of the 'Prix family'.
Since its inception, the Prix de Lausanne has been instrumental in nurturing and propelling young ballet talents onto the global stage. This competition, a beacon of ballet for five decades, embodies more than just winning; it’s a unique platform for learning, sharing, and growing as artists.
In this jubilee year, I send my heartiest congratulations and deepest gratitude to the organizers, mentors, and exceptionally talented participants of the Prix de Lausanne. Our collective dedication to preserving and promoting the art of ballet is truly commendable.
To all the competitors: embarking on this journey speaks volumes of your courage, hard work, and passion. Regardless of the outcome, you are all winners. Take this opportunity to soak up knowledge, connect with fellow artists, and express your passion for dance.
The anticipation of witnessing your performances at the finals fills me with immense excitement. It is an opportunity to see you shine, to witness your unique interpretations of the beautiful language of dance.

Hey everyone!

I am so excited to announce that I will be giving a dance workshop at the Kunstmuseum Basel on Friday, January 20th, 2023 from 8pm to 10pm. This will be part of the Museum's Night program, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my love of dance with all of you.
As a dancer and choreographer, I have always been drawn to the expressive power of movement in the community. I believe that dance has the ability to convey emotions and ideas in a way that words simply cannot.

Guest Speaker at Swisspeers Start-up Event
It was an absolute honor to be invited as speakers for the Swisspeers Start-Up event. For those who may not be familiar, Swisspeers is an innovative platform that helps fund projects and ideas through a community of investors and serious dreamers. The Braswell Arts Center recently used Swisspeers to fund their new space, and we were thrilled to be part of the event and share our story with their network.
As entrepreneurs and business owners, my wife Lisa and I know firsthand the challenges of starting and growing a company. It takes hard work, dedication, and a willingness to push past boundaries and take calculated risks. In our short speech, we shared some of our own experiences and offered encouragement and humor to the aspiring entrepreneurs in attendance.
One thing we emphasized is the importance of staying true to your vision and not letting setbacks or challenges deter you. We also talked about the value of seeking out mentors and surrounding yourself with supportive people who can offer guidance and encouragement along the way.
Overall, it was a fantastic event and we were truly humbled to be invited as speakers. We were inspired by the passion and drive of the other attendees and are excited to see what the future holds for them and their businesses. We are grateful to Swisspeers for creating such a valuable platform and for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences and insights.

New Position at TaZ ZHdK
I am so excited to finally announce that I have accepted a part-time position as a Contemporary Teacher at the TaZ at ZHdK! This has been in the works for a while now and I am beyond excited to start this new chapter in my career.
The first week has been a full one, and the dancers are working hard and showing a lot of enthusiasm. I am really impressed by their dedication and talent.
The studios at the TaZ are top-notch and state-of-the-art. I had the chance to try out the sound system and let me tell you, the acoustics are amazing. I even blasted some Biggie Smalls through the hallways just to test it out and it sounded amazing.
The dancers are hungry and working hard, and I can already feel the sense of community and support that exists at TaZ.
I am so grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey and to the TaZ team for welcoming me with open arms.

BAC Virtual Gala
The Braswell Arts Center is a space for creativity, collaboration and innovation in all art forms. Since 2017, we are proud to offer dance classes and other artistic experiences for all ages, levels, and body types as well as create fresh initiatives for underprivileged children and development opportunities for emerging artists. Through arts education and exchange, the BAC strives to encourage collaboration, creation, networking and entrepreneurship within the local and international arts community.
Due to government restrictions in place to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the BAC has been closed for 6 of the last 12 months and — even when we've been able to open — operating with a limited capacity for another 5 months due to distancing restrictions. As you can imagine, the effects of these last 11 months have impacted us greatly. We are in a difficult position at the moment, however we remain positive!
In an effort to raise awareness about the current situation of the BAC, we welcome you to join us for the Braswell Arts Center Virtual Benefit Gala. Featuring an evening of high-quality dance performances from artists all around the world, the goal of this fundraiser event is to raise support for the BAC as well as to help us continue moving forward in our mission to #KeepBaselMoving.

DANCE / COMPOSITION
Students learn creative ways to move their body while exploring elements of professional dance techniques. A special focus on basic composition and individuality, hopefully leading to a small creation. Our classes promote positive self-image and are for all ages and body types. This class is hard work, but lots of fun.
ART / CRAFTING
Our young artists are given a guided experience though multiple “colors” of Art. From painting to crafting to sculpture, artists are encouraged to create every day and mentored through different styles and basic techniques. This program also introduces elements of fashion and sustainable art, our walls will be full with daily exhibitions.
DIGITAL ART/TECHNOLOGY
This class adds a computer to all art forms. Children are daily guided through a digital exploration of computer functions and programs and their impact on different art forms. Because each day is a new experience, this class aims to create a “digital diary” to encourage the students to “document” their time here, with a focus on video creation. Most importantly this class connects all art forms through a modern technology and gives each student a chance to shine.
SIGN UP
Sign-up forms are provided for each week. Simply click desired week below.

Following the dance performance, the head of Forum Würth Arlesheim, Catherine Iselin, will conduct a live interview with Armando Braswell.
The live interview will take place in English.

Gaga at BAC
I know I have been saying that I was going to do this FOREVER! So finally..... Gaga at the Braswell Arts Center! I am so excited! :) :) :)
Open to all ages and all body types as always. And Beginners are of course welcome!
What is Gaga?
Gaga/people classes are taught by dancers who have worked closely with Ohad Naharin. Teachers guide the participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement, each participant in the class actively explores these instructions, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations, increase their physical awareness, improve their flexibility and stamina, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.
Also on the menu is Lyrical Jazz with me!!! That is always fun!

Olivia was a founding member of Sharon Eyal’s LEV, and has worked with Mats EK, Johan Inger, Wim Vandekeybus in the Royal Swedish Ballet, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (Eastman) and Luca Veggetti, amongst others. Most recently she was a guest with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch and in the fall of 2016 danced, acted, and coached in the recently premiered film, Suspiria, directed by Luca Guadagnino.

Lecture at the Juilliard School
It was a great lecture at the Juilliard School for the Senior seminar class. The topic was Securing a job in Europe. Thank you Alicia and team for a great class. Here are a few of my favorite quotes I collected for the lecture.........
Be aware. Be informed. There is really no excuse in this day and age to not know what type of company you are auditioning for. My friends from other companies say the same and it can come off disrespectful. Make triple sure that you have the names spelled correctly and are addressing the person in a very polite way. You can never be too polite. Try not to give the I need any job template email attitude.
-CRISTIANA SCIABORDI -Ballett Theater Basel Ballett Master
Within the process of an audition I always want to first get to know the background, experience and technique of the dancers who apply for a position with our company. Therefore we ask them to forward video(s) with whatever material they can provide and if possible contemporary variations. It can be an improvisation as well as a sequence from the repertoire they are dancing at the moment. For me as ballet director it is just vital to get a closer view of the dancer's technical abilities and her or his personality. Any video material over-sophisticated or too elaborated camera work can blur the view on the individuality and uniqueness of the respective dancer. Therefore my overall advice for the presentation is to keep it simple and honest.
-GOYO MONTERO - Staatstheater Nürnberg Director
Present videos that are clear, well lit and show you dancing to music, not with music overlaid on a bunch of movement. Make an impression by presenting how you work, not only relying on being a good mover.
-TAMAS MORITZ - Royal Ballet Of Flanders Assoiate Director
Personality. Physicality. Like a sponge, ready to learn and to work. Hungry. To complete yourself not only as a dancer, but also as a person. I always say its pretty easy these days to find good dancers, but not so easy to find good people.
-STEPHEN DELATTRE - Delattre Dance Company
Blog featured in 20mins Magazine!
Short back story:
Inside Ballett Theater Basel is a concept blog that was created with together with Richard Wherlock. It was a great opportunity given to me to build my project development and team building skills and also develop my and creative thinking and marketing. Together with my team Max Zachrisson and Ruben Dario Banol, we catalog our ballet seasons in film. It is a great fun.
