Two weeks ago, the international Russian choreographer Alexei Ratmansky resigned from American Ballet Theater after 13 years as artist in residence.

Today he was announced as artist in residence at New York City Ballet.

‘I wanted a change,’ he said.

New York can feel like a very small town.

Comments

    It’s rather like going from Central Park to a large concrete plaza.
