At City Ballet, a Once-in-a-Generation Dancer Arrives

Mira Nadon, the rising New York City Ballet principal, is coming off her best season yet. And it’s only the beginning. By Gia Kourlas The New York Times May 29, 2024

Mira Nadon was 5 when she took her first ballet class. It was pre-ballet, which meant running around the studio, maybe getting a shot at fluttering like a butterfly. This was not for her.

When she found out that students began proper training at 6, Nadon laid it on the line: “I told my mom, ‘This isn’t serious,’” she said. “‘I’m just going to wait till I’m 6.’”

Even then Nadon was levelheaded and unflappable. Now, at just 23, she is a principal dancer with New York City Ballet, approaching the close of a momentous season at Lincoln Center, where her versatility, artistry and jaw-dropping abandon have made her seem like a ballerina superhero. This week, she returns to the role of Helena, the rejected young woman determined to win her lover back in George Balanchine’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” An affinity for drama is in her bones, but something else makes Nadon a rarity: humor.

Nadon, the first Asian American female principal dancer at City Ballet, is a special, once-in-a-generation kind of dancer. Nadon can flip among many sides of herself—secretive, seductive, funny, serene. And she lives on the edge, with rapid shifts from romantic elegance to ferocious force. A principal since 2023, Nadon still has raw moments, but so much is starting to click: Her feet are more precise, her partnering more secure.

“To watch her grow — and it’s not been very long—has been tremendous,” Wendy Whelan, the company’s associate artistic director, said. “It’s fast and big and just blossoming.”

This spring season, the close of the company’s 75th anniversary year, has been largely dedicated to newer ballets. She has danced in works by living choreographers, including Alexei Ratmansky and Pam Tanowitz, and made debuts in works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. “The range has been astounding,” Whelan said. “She’s been able to hone in on the uniqueness of each of those voices. And she cares about what the intent is of each of those voices, so they’re not all the same. She doesn’t just go out and do great things. She actually carves out the idea.”

The most important debut was in “Errante” (1975), a Balanchine ballet originally called “Tzigane” after its score by Maurice Ravel. Suzanne Farrell, for whom the ballet was made, staged it and coached Nadon. “She’s such an intelligent woman and so dry and funny in the best way in the studio,” Nadon said. “She’s very, very demanding. She’s not just going to say ‘good job’ because you tried and you’re working hard. But I love that.”

The ballet opens with a five-minute solo for Nadon, whose smoldering use of her eyes and face, along with the smooth control of her body, showed a deep command of the stage as she wound her way along its mysterious violin solo. Farrell told her that the solo was a lonely experience. “I think she was excited for me to feel that onstage with the violinist,” Nadon said. Toward the end of the rehearsal process, Farrell told her that she shouldn’t move in a modern way but in a “very stylized older way,” Nadon said. “I think that’s also what makes it such a special world, that it’s unique and different from the way you approach another ballet.”

In Ratmansky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” Nadon was electric, fleshing out shapes while stretching bigger, deeper, longer—her arms are as fluid and expressive as her legs. And Nadon, at 5 foot 8 inches, has legs. Working with Ratmansky, who is City Ballet’s artist in residence, is sharpening her technique, she said, just as Tiler Peck did last season when Nadon danced in her ballet, “Concerto for Two Pianos.”

“He’s so funny," Nadon said of Ratmansky’s polite requests. “He’ll be like, ‘Do you think you could turn out the leg a little more?’ ‘Do you think you could hit fifth there?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I probably could.’”

This season, she performed in two of Tanowitz’s ballets: “Gustave Le Gray No. 1” and “Law of Mosaics,” which ends with Nadon dancing a solo barefoot. “She doesn’t dance at you, she draws the audience in, and that’s her power,” Tanowitz said. “It’s almost like she’s letting us in on this intimate part of herself.”

How many dancers can be understated and wild? It has much to do with how utterly at ease Nadon is onstage, which dates to her training at the Inland Pacific Ballet Academy in Montclair, Calif., where she had many opportunities to perform. “I think it was really beneficial growing up,” she said, “to not be scared onstage.” This was already apparent in 2017, when she danced the female lead in Balanchine’s “Scotch Symphony” at the School of American Ballet Workshop Performances, the annual year-end display of student talent. She was a fearless rush of power and delicacy that left audience members in disbelief. Recalling it now, Nadon laughed. “I didn’t think about it too much,” she said, “and just did the show and then everyone liked it, and I was like, Oh, I guess you’ve never seen me perform.”

Next month, Nadon will make her debut in “Diamonds,” the final section of “Jewels,” set to Tchaikovsky, at the Kennedy Center. “There’s something about the Tchaikovsky—the swells and the grandeur that you just feel in your soul,” she said. “I’m excited to live in that world and see how it feels.”

The part was made for Farrell, and dancing it speaks to Nadon’s future as an integral part of City Ballet. But getting to this point was far from a sure thing. Her father is a professor of government and her mother was a lawyer; neither knew much about ballet aside from the dramatic, dark side that is often shown in films.

When Nadon was accepted to the School of American Ballet, City Ballet’s training ground, she knew her parents weren’t going to want her to go, which would mean leaving home at a young age. She is grateful to Darci Kistler, a former City Ballet principal, who offered her a scholarship for the summer course and convinced her parents that it would be more than OK to let her go.

“Even getting my parents to agree to let me audition was a struggle,” Nadon said. “I was like, ‘I just want to see if I get in’ and they were like, ‘You’re not going to go, but you can audition just for yourself.’”

To Kistler, she said: “‘Oh—my parents aren’t going to let me, but thank you so much.’ And Darci said, ‘Can you go get your mom?’ I was, like, running through the hallways.”

It wasn’t a yes on the spot, but after some conversations, they agreed. “I’ll always be really grateful to her for putting in that extra effort,” Nadon said. “My parents still are, like, Thank God for Darci.”

Nadon’s path through the City Ballet ranks has been swift. She joined the corps de ballet in November 2018 and was promoted to soloist in 2022. Just a year later, she was named principal. “There was a lot of thought that went into—when you start pushing, giving the opportunities—making sure she was ready,” Whelan said. “We don’t want any dancer to fail. We don’t want to just throw them out there and say, let’s see what happens.”

But Nadon was ready—for all of it. “When I think of myself having the title of principal dancer, it does seem kind of crazy and foreign, but on the day to day, I’m just dancing my ballets and going out onstage,” she said with a cheerful shrug. “I guess I’ve tried not to overthink it too much because I think it could be very heavy and a lot of pressure.”

Nadon is self-aware. Her temperament, she realizes, is a blessing. She gets nervous for shows, but she’s never anxious. And she’s there to dance. “My favorite part of the job is just going out onstage and seeing what happens,” she said. “It’s almost like I’m surprised by what my body does. I’m finding out what’s going to happen at the same time as the audience.”

Concurso open 2020 anunciados los ganadores y finalistas de cada categoría

La World Photography Organisation anuncia los ganadores y finalistas del concurso Open de los Sony World Photography Awards 2020, que reconoce las mejores fotografías tomadas en 2019.

Se han seleccionado más de 100 fotógrafos en la edición 2020 junto con diez ganadores de cada categoría. Cada ganador recibirá lo último en equipos de imagen digital de Sony para desarrollar su visión y competirá por el prestigioso título de Open Photographer of the Year y un premio de 5.000 dólares. El ganador general del concurso Open se anunciará el 9 de junio en la World Photography Organisation y las plataformas online de Sony.

Los diez ganadores en cada categoría son:

ARCHITECTURE

Rosaria Sabrina Pantano (Italia) por Emotional Geography, una imagen en blanco y negro de Parallelo 38°, una escultura en forma de pirámide de Mauro Staccioli que se encuentra en el punto exacto donde las coordenadas geográficas tocan el paralelo 38.

CREATIVE

Suxing Zhang (China continental) por Knot, un retrato de una mujer joven con un collage de elementos simbólicos. Esta única imagen en blanco y negro es parte de la serie Hua (que significa flor en chino) que considera las flores como metáforas de la feminidad.

CULTURE

Antoine Veling (Australia) por Mark 5:28, una fotografía que captura el momento en que los miembros de la audiencia fueron invitados al escenario para bailar en un concierto de Iggy Pop en la Ópera de Sydney el 17 de abril de 2019. Representando a Iggy Pop en una multitud de fans de este baile, la imagen se centra en la cantante, una mujer que intenta tocarle y un asistente de escena que lucha por mantener a raya a la gente. La escena, que se asemeja a una pintura de Caravaggio, evoca un pasaje bíblico: Porque ella pensó: «Si consigo tocar su ropa, me curaré». (Mark 5:25-34, line 28).

LANDSCAPE

Craig McGowan (Australia) por Ice Reflections, una imagen de un iceberg solitario, ubicado contra las paredes de un fiordo en el noreste del Parque Nacional de Groenlandia. El iceberg y el paisaje circundante se reflejan perfectamente en las aguas cristalinas del río, lo que da como resultado una fotografía pictórica y abstracta.

MOTION

Alec Connah (Reino Unido) por Going Down!, una grabación del momento en que las cuatro torres de enfriamiento de Ironbridge Power Station en Shropshire fueron demolidas el 6 de diciembre de 2019.

NATURAL WORLD Y WILDLIFE

Guofei Li (China continental) por Tai Chi Diagram, tomada en Botswana, la imagen muestra dos guepardos lamiéndose entre sí después de una caza exitosa: su posición en el marco se asemeja a la forma de un símbolo del Yin y el Yang.

PORTRAITURE

Tom Oldham (Reino Unido) para Black Francis, un retrato en blanco y negro, encargado por la revista Mojo, que retrata al líder de Pixies, Charles Thompson (también conocido como Black Francis). Cuando aceptó la tarea, Oldham un retratista de toda la vida, sabía lo cansadas que son las sesiones de fotografía para un modelo, por eso le pidió a Charles Thompson que mostrara su frustración durante la enésima toma. La imagen final muestra al cantante en el gesto elocuente de hundir sus manos en la cara y fue la imagen resaltada del artículo..

STILL LIFE

Jorge Reynal (Argentina) por A Plastic Ocean, una fotografía de un pez muerto que aparentemente lucha por respirar en una bolsa de plástico. La imagen tiene como objetivo resaltar la crisis de contaminación plástica que afecta nuestros océanos.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Santiago Mesa (Colombia) por Colombia Resiste, la fotografía documenta a un manifestante en la ciudad de Medellín, donde trabajadores y vendedores ambulantes participaban en una marcha cuando el escuadrón antidisturbios de Medellín los dispersó. Esta demostración es una de las muchas que se han desatado en América Latina en los últimos años por razones que incluyen el aumento del coste de vida, la desigualdad y la falta de oportunidades.

TRAVEL

Adrian Guerin (Australia) por Riding a Saharan Freight Train, una imagen tomada desde la parte superior del vagón trasero del tren de mineral de hierro en Mauritania mientras realizaba su viaje de 700 km desde la ciudad costera de Nouadhibou hasta el desierto saharaui de Zouérat. Con una longitud de 2,5 Km, es uno de los trenes más largos del mundo que transporta más de 200 vagones cargados de rocas.

Las imágenes destacadas de la lista de finalistas de este año incluyen Pinball Pier de Stephen Tomlinson (Reino Unido, Architecture), una vista panorámica de Brighton Pier iluminada al anochecer; Metamorphosis de Stanislav Stankovskiy (Federación de Rusia, Creative), una imagen cinematográfica de luces de automóviles que iluminan la oscuridad en una noche de niebla; Rivers por Or Adar (Israel, Landscape), una mirada desde arriba a la red de ríos y arroyos en una zona pantanosa cerca de Venecia, Italia; That’s Nothing to Laugh About de Adam Stevenson (Australia, Natural World & Wildlife), una fotografía de una cucaburra solitaria encaramada en la rama de un árbol quemado que examina el daño producido por uno de los muchos incendios forestales devastadores que asolaron Australia; y Mother Love de Ottavio Marino (Italia, Portraiture), una ilustración conmovedora de los profundos lazos que existen entre una madre y su hijo.

El jurado del concurso Open de este año está presidido por Gisela Kayser, directora gerente y directora artística, Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus e.V., Berlín.

Las imágenes ganadoras y finalistas se promocionarán en los canales y plataformas online de la World Photography Organisation utilizando contenido como vídeos, presentaciones y preguntas y respuestas. Esto sustituye a la cancelación de la exposición Sony World Photography Awards 2020 debido a la pandemia actual.

En respuesta a los recientes eventos, la World Photography Organisation también ha lanzado la página Stay Connected, que presenta un variado programa de iniciativas, actividades y recursos online cuyo objetivo es apoyar e inspirar a las audiencias y fotógrafos reconocidos en los Premios de este año.

I, along with the masses, feel the need to reflect on the year behind us as we move into a new one. All in all, it was a long and hard year for me, but looking back there were many, many good moments. I went through them today via photos on my iphone, to jog my memory of all the things I did, saw, and took in this year. While likely very boring for you, you can read my write-ups by month further down. I also wrote out the accomplishments I’m proudest of this year. What I most want to share, though, is that this exercise made me feel better and infinitely more grateful about the year that I had! It is OK to feel bad about the year, of course, but picking out the good stuff, the memories and accomplishments I will carry with me — that really helped me see 2018 for what it was and feel prepared for 2019.

This year I: walked a whole lot, with a daily average of 5.4 miles this December; started Couch-to-5K (lol) and can now run almost 2 miles without stopping; met my yearly savings goal; started a regular volunteer gig at Tenants Together and volunteered at the Women’s Building during tax season (hmu with ur housing/tax Qs, folks); fulfilled a years-old dream of traveling to Chile and Argentina (and somehow have now visited 5 continents!); spent my first full calendar year at a full-time job; completed my (albeit measly) reading goal of 12 books in 2018 (my favorite was The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes).  

My resolutions include: new savings goal to meet; run a 5k; cook more (lol); write more.

2018 was a long year for a me, a bit of a slog, really. In looking back at the highlights, I also want to be honest about the downsides and the ruts. I experienced a fair amount of depression this year, more than I ever have; I tried to make big life changes that ultimately fell through; and I cried a lot. If you know me well you know my whole life is an existential crisis, but turning 25 I entered a new phase of it and I’m still grappling with finding my place. But I do believe moving through the rough stuff is important and necessary (as Bright Eyes sings, “your eyes must do some raining if you’re ever going to grow.” A little trite, a lot true). I am so, so grateful for my friends and family who have supported me, listened to me, and reminded me of my strengths when I’ve had a hard time reminding myself.     

Onwards and upwards, 2019 <3

January

Rang in the new year with Leah and Sarah in DC and kissed some macaroni and cheese at midnight. Went from SF to DC and back again for family business (and saw all of my cousins together for the first time in years)— on a connecting flight, witnessed the magic of flying into LA at night. Saw so many DC/Maryland friends at a Mags-in-DC happy hour. Women’s marched.

February

Had a wonderful surprise visit from my dear friend Nacho from Chile; had a magical Dolores day that ended with free empanadas from our new friend Paula. Went back to Big Sur for the first time in 10 years (bless Nacho for supporting me in the most difficult driving I’ve ever done, in Matt’s car no less (thanks Matt!)). Went back to LA and visited the Figure 8 wall, the Museum of Death, and LACMA. Started happy hour tradition with Meredith at the Lake Chalet; sliders and lavender lemonades (lemony snickets). Got my first budget through the Port Commission.

March

Pisco party with Will. Celebrated Pi Day with Katie. Made an Irish soda bread for St. Patrick’s and celebrated with the Stones. Took a while to close out my tab because I was not the only Doyle in the bar that night (ha!). Watched the entirety of Six Feet Under, briefly considered career shift to funeral director.

April

Turned 25 and was overjoyed to be joined by my brothers for their first trip to visit me in California. We went to Land’s End and to Santa Cruz. Peter cooked a delicious salmon dinner for us before my party. Special out of town guests at my birthday included Jacob and Pablo (wow was I lucky!). Got the best haircut & highlights of my life (thanks Ms. Siobhan!). Walked to work on walk to work day. Easter morning mass with Gregory. 

May

This was the month I went to Olive Garden at the Stonestown Mall by myself and sat alone at the bar. They treated me like a queen. Discovered internal family systems with my therapist and reached a turning point in learning to value myself. Was featured on SFGOVTV while my boss presented to the Board of Supervisors and I looked beautiful that day. Biked to work on bike to work day. Started volunteering at Tenants Together. Ate a tacro, it was weird.

June

Baby’s first camping trip to Arroyo Seco with Maddy, Vinnie, Gabi, and Joey. We swam in a gorge and I got a sunburn. Then we went to In-N-Out and camped a second night in the Byrne’s living room because we didn’t get a campsite for the second night. Tradr Sam’s with Gregory (he has far too much video evidence of the debauchery of this occasion). Pride at Dolores Park, someone bought me a rainbow jello shot, I vigorously reapplied sunscreen but drunkenly missed the same spots every time.

July

Freezing SF summer. Enjoyed Mamma Mia 2 (here we go again!) with the biggest Cher fan in existence (love 2 Sabrina) and Molly and Filipa. Got some summertime weather in Sacramento with Leah, where we went to a country club to play in their pool and went to the state fair. Elotes and deep fried cookie dough.  

August

Attended the international dog surfing competition (!!!) in Pacifica. Had my first visit back to Ocean City in several years, ate crabs on my grandparents’ deck and Thrasher’s french fries on the boardwalk. Traveled to Chicago for a hot minute and then to Madison, Wisconsin to see two dear friends, Laura and Ryan, get married. Their song was “This Must Be The Place.” Deep fried cheese curds.

September

Another visit to LA, this time to see Maddy and Vinnie in their brand-new home. Ate so much delicious food (Little Ethiopia! Zankou! Tacos!), swam in the Pacific Ocean for the first time (really swam) with Vinnie, and almost got banned from Dodgers stadium. Runyon Canyon and Point Dume with Matt and Jacob. Met a dog who lives in a laundromat after one of Molly’s shows. Published my first budget book.

October

Hiked the Marin Headlands with Matt and walked across the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time (somehow). Dogsat Stella for the Byrnes. Bought cool new glasses for $15. Canvassed for Propositions C + 10. Saw Roma at the Castro Theatre with Sarah, and Alfonso Cuaron and Yalitza Aparicio were there. Fell three (3) times at a haunted house from being scared (Molly as my witness). Killed the Halloween costume game.

November

More canvassing and phone banking for Props C + 10 (C passed!). The seawall bond passed and I was proud to have given presentations to community groups about it. Beautiful, beautiful Dia de los Muertos in the Mission with Tyler. Incredible, incredible trip to Chile and Argentina — too much to write here — terrazando, carmenere and piscolas, la cordillera, empanadas and choripans, a million museums, amazing views, and incredible company in Nacho, Rodrigo, Santiago, Joaquin, Pipe and Paz and Pablo and more. Wow.

December

Clementime with Molly. Successfully recreated my favorite dish from Buenos Aires, pollo a la portuguesa (she cooked!). Visited Sabrina in Santa Cruz, hiked Buzzard’s Roost in Big Basin and attended the greatest Christmas/guitar factory store party ever. Macaroni Grill (!!!) w Mere. Parties and shows with Joe and Pete, the Building Museum with Maddy, drinks and dinners and lunches and brunches with old, old friends. Family festivities. Rewatched all 8 Harry Potter films in a four day span.
