"Better is something more personal. It's a process. And in my opinion, Better is more interesting than best."Built into a dancer's DNA is a desire to get better every day and Julie Kent, the new co-artistic director of Houston Ballet hasn't lost that core belief.
In her talks with the Houston Ballet dancers she met, she says there weren't any surprises."I will always identify as a dancer. I danced professionally forever. The mindset of a dancer is most important during those years when you are so singularly focused on your career [and] is pretty much universal.
"In candor, my father didn’t think being a ballet dancer was a profession for me either. There's an education process. It was not because he had a bias. It was not a part of his upbringing; it was not a part of his experience so he didn't understand. Thankfully, my mother did understand and then I had wonderful teachers that were able to educate my father about that this was a career path.
One thing she wants to clear up is the erroneous impression some people have that she is more interested in full length story ballets than shorter pieces in a mixed rep program."No. I think there's an assumption there because I spent my [dance] career with American Ballet Theatre. I had more contemporary works created on me than full length ballets that I ever danced.
It’s in a wonderful position to be able to do multi year planning. Collaborating. Working with the ex gifted
