LEADERSHIP
2013 2014
Since 2007, under Adam Sklute’s leadership, Ballet West has garnered increased national and international recognition. The Company has appeared twice at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center (Ballet Across America, 2008: Balanchine’s Serenade, and Willam Christensen’s The Nutcracker, 2012 ); twice at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance (Nijinska’s Les Biches, 2009; the Grand Pas from Paquita; 2012); three times in Chicago (The Chicago Dancing Festival - Serenade, 2010; Jiří Kylián’s Sinfonietta 2011; and in 2013, The Sleeping Beauty and a Repertory Program at the famed Auditorium Theatre); twice in Las Vegas and once at Wolftrap. Ballet West has also graced the cover of Dance Magazine twice—in 2009 and 2013—and has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times for The Treasures of the Ballets Russes and The Nutcracker. In addition, the Company was recently the subject of the docu-drama “Breaking Pointe” for two seasons. Adam Sklute Artistic Director
Sklute has introduced Ballet West to such renowned contemporary choreographers as Nicolo Fonte, Jiří Kylián, Mark Morris, and Twyla Tharp, among others, while expanding the company’s Balanchine repertoire and adding early 20th century Diaghilev-era masterpieces. In addition to reintroducing lost elements of Christensen’s production of The Nutcracker, Sklute conceived and produced new versions of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty and developed Ballet West’s wildly successful Family Series and Innovations. Sklute danced with The Joffrey Ballet starting in 1985 and rose through the ranks to Associate Director from 2005 to 2007. He is an Adjunct Professor at The University of Utah and a teacher, lecturer, coach and judge of ballet worldwide.
