Where Are They Now? GARRETT MARKS
Case in point: Today's subject of Where Are They Now?, our regular feature in which we catch-up with those people who once called Nashville home but who are now reaching for their dreams all over the creative world. Dancer Garrett Marks first came to Nashville in 2009 to study at Belmont University and, in the process, became Belmont's first student to earn a BFA in Dance, creating his own line of study when one barely seemed to exist on a campus filled to the brim with talented young people.

BWW Interviews: Jon Upleger, This Dancer's Life
In his tenth season with Nashville ballet, Jon Upleger is the very epitome of grace, class and talent, thrilling audiences with his artistry and complete devotion to his craft. 'I can't play a musical instrument so dance is my way to visually express music,' he says.

BWW Interviews: Sadie Bo Harris, This Dancer's Life
In the past year-and-a-half of interviewing actors and dancers for our 'A Life in the Theater' and 'This Dancer's Life' series, I've been struck by something very interesting: While actors love to talk about themselves and what makes them do what they do, dancers tend to be more circumspect and to the point. This week's featured dancer, for example, the beautiful, ethereal, other-worldly Sadie Bo Harris - one of the prima ballerinas of Nashville Ballet - answers our questions with a disarming brevity, cutting to the chase and giving us a sharply focused view of her life as a dancer.

BWW Reviews: DIRECTOR'S CHOICE Winter Series from Nashville Ballet
With the North American premiere of Twyla Tharp's The Story Teller generating most of the buzz prior to opening night, Nashville Ballet's Director's Choice winter series provided a much-needed jolt of electricity to the city's midwinter arts calendar. But it was the exquisite pairing of Molly Sansone and Jon Upleger in Salvatore Aiello's completely sensual and mildly erotic Satto that truly turned up the heat in the company's annual salute to contemporary dance.

BWW Reviews: Nashville Ballet's World Premiere of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
The resulting production that comes from Vasterling's unerringly skillful choreography and his clearly developed vision for the piece - exquisitely expressed through Baird's costume and scenic design, Scott Leathers' stunningly evocative lighting design and the beautiful music of Felix Mendelssohn performed by members of the Nashville Symphony under the baton of Nashville Ballet music director Paul Gambill - is a rousing and fitting conclusion to the company's 24th season, clearly paving the way to a stellar silver anniversary season that will open next fall with a full production of Swan Lake.

REVIEW: 'American Originals' from Nashville Ballet
With each passing year and with each new offering, Vasterling and the other powers-that-be at Nashville Ballet gain new admirers for their troupe, whose skills are confidently and expertly highlighted by the choices made in regard to the company's repertoire. Clearly, Nashville Ballet has gained stature with its beautiful and much-lauded treatment of the classics, but it may well be contemporary offerings, such as those included in American Originals, that more assuredly showcase the company's extraordinary depth. Quite honestly, the panache with which each performance is delivered is awe-inspiring - and certain to lift the collective spirit and ward off even the most frigid temperatures.

BWW Blog: Nashville Theatre's 'Top Ten of 2009'
With the strains of 'Auld Lang Syne' mere moments away, minds are apt to be caught up in reflection, remembering the year now ending as a new one awaits just over the horizon. Certainly that's what I've been doing lately, looking back over the past year in Nashville theatre as I pencil in dates in my new 2010 (Here's a question to ponder: Is it 'two thousand ten' or 'twenty ten'...think about it and get back to me) calendar for the shows set to open in the months ahead.

REVIEW: 'Nashville's Nutcracker' from Nashville Ballet
Nashville Ballet ushers in the holiday season in glorious style with its revival of artistic director Paul Vasterling's visionary re-interpretation of The Nutcracker, onstage at TPAC's Andrew Jackson Hall through December 20. More accurately referred to as Nashville's Nutcracker, Vasterling's epic work is a joyous, colorful Christmas card to the people of Music City who have embraced it with their customary warmth and rewarded it with their own glowing accolades.

REVIEW: Nashville Ballet's 'Giselle'
Since its preeminence among the city's artistic entities became de facto, Nashville Ballet has consistently launched the real artistic season in Music City each year -- and with the return of Giselle to the company's program after a seven-year hiatus, the 2009-2010 season is off to a rousing start. One of the most beloved works from the classical repertoire, Giselle is a challenging undertaking for any company, but thanks to the vision of artistic director Paul Vasterling, Nashville Ballet's production is a visual feast, featuring stunning costumes, evocative lighting and gorgeous scenery.
