Wendy Whelan and Jonathan Stafford have been named to head the New York City Ballet. By Sarah L. Kaufman Sarah L. Kaufman Dance critic covering arts and entertainment Email Bio Follow February 28 at 4:59 PM After a stormy year in which longtime New York City Ballet director Peter Martins resigned amid scandal, followed by a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that led to the departures of three top male dancers, the company has announced new leadership.
“I feel extremely good about where I’ve landed,” Whelan said. “I hope to learn from Jon and continue with what I do well, which is artistic collaborations and reaching outside the company for commissions.” Negative press has been the norm at the company for more than a year, with headlines such as the New York Post’s “It’s ‘Swine Lake’ at the NYC Ballet/#MeTutu I was sexually exploited by abusive ‘frat boy’ dancers.” Former SAB student Alexandra Waterbury has sued the company and dancer Chase Finlay, alleging the sharing of sexually explicit images of unknowing female dancers. Finlay resigned and dancers Amar Ramasar and Zachary Catazaro were fired.
“Peter Martins’s involvement will be under consideration,” he said. “This is a really great moment in time when Wendy and I can look at everything.”“First of all, acknowledging that the job was larger than one person could handle was great for the boards of both the school and the company to decide,” she said.
