“How Judges Judge”: A “Works and Process” Event at the Guggenheim
About:
“How Judges Judge” – A “Works & Process” presentation at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC
On March 6 and 7, 2011.
Sold-out audiences joined YAGP jury members Gailene Stock,
Director of the Royal Ballet School; Franco de Vita, Director of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
School at American Ballet Theatre; and Adam Sklute, Artistic Director of Ballet West, to gain an
insight into YAGP’s selection process and watched as they candidly critiqued nine live performances
by 2010 YAGP competition winners during an impromptu ballet competition on stage. After the performance,
audience members had the opportunity to meet the jury members and dancers in person at a reception in the
iconic lobby of the Guggenheim lobby.
