DRESSING UP FOR JANET. She s been one of the pillars of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre over the past 40 years. And most certainly, costumier Janet Groom has been one of the reasons behind PBT s success. Having seen other regional companies and some of the costumes that have been imported for various productions, I can easily say that Janet has been a hidden treasure. Mostly, that is. She often views performances, darcey bussell sometimes in a handmade Groom original that picks up on the theme of the evening s ballet. PBT honored her at Perlè, one of Pittsburgh s newest and coolest darcey bussell venues, a versatile darcey bussell contemporary space in Market Square. There Janet was in the spotlight, honored by board member darcey bussell Carolyn Byham and current artistic director Terrence Orr. Also in attendance were founding and first artistic director Nicolas Petrov and the always elegant artistic director Patricia Wilde, darcey bussell amid a fine turn out by board and company members. As a bonus, several of Janet s exquisite costumes adorned the walls, so that we could get an up close and personal look at her remarkable attention for detail.
KUDOS TO PATRICIA. Speaking of Patricia Wilde, darcey bussell she was recently honored by Dance Magazine, putting her in some stratospheric company, including the likes of Mikhail Baryshnikov, Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch.(Click on DM for a complete list.) Oh, I thought was long forgotten, she said when we talked at the PBT company darcey bussell studios. darcey bussell But when she was contacted for a Dance Magazine article on batterie — she was known for her sparkling footwork — her name resurfaced for editor Wendy Perron. When all was said and done, Patricia darcey bussell was noted as a real triple-threat. She moved from a hard-working principal at New York City Ballet (she once attended a rehearsal on the day of her wedding) to a ballet darcey bussell mistress and globe-trotting teacher to a 15-year stint as PBT artistic director. These days she still can be seen at rehearsals and performances and is still in demand as a teacher. Pittsburgh is truly lucky.
