#principal rank. it's sad to see them abandon these people and waste their experience skills and wisdom as artists

[steebtiny]

was just reading Ruslan's post announcing his being "let go" as a tutor-repetiteur and the comments under that. now, ten of the most beloved BT principals are being punished and having their performances suspended for a month over a gala. I wonder what their prospects will be and how BT will treat them once they become contract workers / retire as dancers. I imagine at least some of them would want to stay at BT to teach classes and/or coach younger dancers. How many of them will be treated just like Ruslan, cast away and having their experience as an artist and contributions to the theatre they served for years dismissed?

#i remember krysanova said she would like to teach at BT... imagining a future BT without her passing on her skills experience and legacy on #to the younger generation and having an underqualified outsider take her place hurts my heart. BT has so much talent especially in their #principal rank. it's sad to see them abandon these people and waste their experience skills and wisdom as artists #the same with lantratov tbh seeing how he shouldered some teaching responsibilities during the pandemic... BT would benefit so much with #him as a coach #from the very little i know Ruslan didn't cause any upheaval? he just did his job and he did it well. and look what they did with him #ballet #bolshoi ballet
