Where do I start?
So the MET season is over, and the stats are 24 shows over the period of 8 weeks in 11 different roles for me personally.
It was fun, tiring and enriching, but most importantly I felt the sensation of growth in various aspects, which is quintessential for being happy…or so I hear.
Currently we’re in LA performing Alexei Ratmansky’s ‘The Bright Stream’ at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. I am performing this Saturday evening and then the following show on Sunday afternoon. After that we fly to Japan for a marathon of shows. My show of Basilio in Don Quixote on July 23rd will be recorded and then broadcasted on July 30th on national TV Channel NHK, so in case you’re in Japan at that time, tune in.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures! Cheers.
Oh and PS. I was filming an abbreviated version of ‘Les Bourgeois’ for the TV Show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ yesterday. It was a prerecording and the airing should take place either tonight or at some point in the near future. I’ll keep you up-to-date on my Twitter.

First things first. I am NOT performing in the advertised performances of KORIFEI or whatever this evening is called in October 2010. There are supposedly shows at the Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center in New York on October 23rd and shows in Baltimore. I have never agreed nor in writing nor in the spoken word to perform at these events. Therefore this is a case of false advertisement. The same goes for my supposed partner Misa Kuranaga from Boston Ballet.
…
Currently I’m transferring at the Narita airport in Tokyo over to Singapore. Flight #18 this summer. I can see the finish line, yay.
#005 – ‘La coupole’ at the Opéra National de Paris (Garnier)

All is well. Rehearsing Don Quixote each day with NBS (Tokyo Ballet). Sweating a lot.

Well I’m starting a new…what should we call it…column/series?
I’ll try to have a pic/quote/video of the day from time to time.
Again I cannot promise anything, that I will keep it up and/or not.
Just take/leave it 
Enjoy/not:
