☆ She Wants to Make San Francisco Ballet an ‘Arrow to the Future’
  + stars: | 2024-05-20 | by ( Gia Kourlas | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Coming from Tamara Rojo, three words go a long way: “That, I believe.”Rojo, the artistic director of San Francisco Ballet since 2022, wants dancers to have autonomy — more than just input, a real choice in how to interpret a role. There’s a difference between watching dancers ripple through steps, however beautifully, and watching their ideas about a role unfold in real time. When Rojo sees a moment she believes, it means they’re performing steps with meaning and intention. “What I really want is for them to go through the exercise of asking themselves questions,” Rojo said in her office after back-to-back “Swan Lake” rehearsals last month. That’s right.’”Her rehearsals are entertaining.

San Francisco Ballet has a vibrant new artistic director: the celebrated Spanish dancer Tamara Rojo. Now San Francisco Ballet has received a groundbreaking gift: It announced on Thursday that it had secured a $60 million contribution from an anonymous donor, the largest in the company’s 91-year history and one of the biggest ever to an American dance company. “It was, for me, an enormous surprise,” Rojo, who joined the company in 2022, said in an interview. “The impact is immeasurable.”The vast majority of the gift, $50 million, will be used to bolster the company’s endowment, currently valued at about $108 million, and to help finance the creation and acquisition of new works. The remaining $10 million will be used to help cover operating costs in Rojo’s first few seasons.
