Directing & Creating in Japan
After a year of collaborating with Anna-Marie Holmes, we had a massive sold out success of our new world premiere production of PAQUITA with the Japan Ballet Association in Tokyo last March. I re-vamped the story line to be less confusing and offensive to modern audiences, we cut and adapted the musical score to fit with our ballet (with the help of Kevin Galié), and except for 20 min from the original 19th century classic, we choreographed a whole new fast paced ballet. Sold out audiences in a 3000 seat house each night. What a wonderful experience! Contact me if you’d like to learn more!
