BIO
Rob Besserer began his life in the theater as a dancer during the dance boom of the mid-1970s. After making a name for himself with the companies of Lar Lubavitch and Mark Morris, as well as with Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, he left behind pure dance to try his hand at stage acting. His six projects with director/choreographer Martha Clarke helped in his transition.

BWW Review: George Mason University School of Dance Proves Their Worth With a Diverse DANCE GALA
George Mason University is a bit of a trek when discussing arts organizations in the DMV area. If Saturday night's School of Dance Fete and Gala Concert is any indicator, then this trek is worth making. Celebrating the strides Mason's (still young) dance program has made in recent years, the evening was a unique combination of educational panels and dance showcases. With four moving performances capping off the evening, Mason's dance program cements itself as one to not be underestimated.

BWW Review: Two Nights in Seville, Part 1 - with BARBIERE at the Met
It didn't strike me until the lights were going down for the start of CARMEN last Thursday that this was the second night in a row that Met audiences were being transported to the same town in sunny Spain. Truth be told, “sunny” is hardly an adjective I'd hardly use to describe Bizet's tragedy in the shadow of the bullring, while it's just about right for dizzy events of Rossini's charmer, IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA, which I'd heard the night before.

BWW Reviews: Jovial BARBIERE with Isabel Leonard Cuts the Mustard at the Met
Bartlett Sher's production of Rossini's IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA is one of the best of the Gelb years at the Met, with its sliding-doors set by Michael Yeargan and luscious costumes by Catherine Zuber. It was great when it opened with an all-star cast--headed Diana Damrau, Juan Diego Florez and Peter Mattei--and remains sturdy even when some of the casting is a little wobbly.
