I agree with Jen that Kevin's remarks in the article were worded weirdly. I mean, to an extent he was put on the spot and had to defend himself, but I do hope he sees that blogs are a form of publicity for the company and that discussion and debate can only promote ballet.

I'm deeply sorry. I'm so used to comment on Jen's blog that I need to remember it's both of you fabulous ladies on this one. Very proud of BOTH OF YOU! Congrats!

There has definitely been an increase in the hits on this site, it's very exciting! Let's spread the word on ABT and Herman Cornejo - any comments on the issues addressed in this article, incl what McKenzie said? :) And DT, you're probably right - he was referring to the people who are complaining about speed of promotion, etc. although it is slightly out of context.

Abyway, I'd be happy to see Cornejo in either of those roles. I'd pretty much be happy to see him in anything, though I think it's right that in Corsaire he be 2nd bannana (the slave Ali) because that character has the most spectacular leaps and thus seems right up his alley.
