On this week's episode, our guest is Matthew Renko, former soloist with Pacific Northwest Ballet and former member of New York City Ballet and the Suzanne Farrell Ballet!
The New York Times described his dancing as “the single most exhilarating moment of the seven ballets in this weeklong season”, but his road has been anything but easy. In this extended episode today, Margaret and Matthew go deep into the good, the bad, and the ugly of a career in ballet.
Join us to hear Margaret and Matthew talk about:
the decision to go to NCSA and then the School of American Ballet
dancing for NYCB and Suzanne Farrell
coming to PNB from New York
being an explosive dancer: how it wins you acclaim but also impacts longevity
dealing with long periods of injury and being an advocate for yourself
