On Friday, November 11th at noon, the 92nd Street Y will present as part of its Fridays at Noon series a program featuring Charles Askegard who is retiring from NYCB this fall. He will discuss his career and a new venture, the Signature Artists Ballet Company, which he is forming with Michele Wiles, who left ABT this past summer. They will premiere a dance created in collaboration with composer John Zorn and artist Will Cotton.
It is FREE! Mark your calendars: 11/11/11 at 12 on 92nd Street.

Oh, so cool! I was wondering what Michele Wiles would do. Hopefully, her talent can finally be appreciated!

Hi Julie. It’ll be interesting! Hopefully, Michele will also find some big international stages on which to continue to perform classics.
