Christine Cox, Artistic and Executive Director of BalletX, has led the company to the forefront of contemporary ballet since its founding in 2005. This season, the company brings three New York premieres to The Joyce Theater, featuring bold works by Takehiro Ueyama, Jodie Gates, and Loughlan Prior.Through Cox's innovation in the contemporary ballet space, BalletX has become a leader in pushing the boundaries of what the art form and dancers are capable of by producing 130 ballets by over 70 choreographers in under 20 years. That is an average of six per year, a feat few companies can match. Looking back at it now, that stat seems unthinkable when the modest company was established in 2005. But over the years BalletX has grown sustainably as an institution growing the ensemble of dancers from 10 to 16, providing annual salaries to dancers and becoming a fundraising powerhouse, having received a $7.4 million transformational gift this year which will allow the company to grow into a global force.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
After her celebrated run at Mena in Tribeca, Chef Victoria Blamey has returned to New York’s culinary scene, taking the helm at Blanca in Brooklyn—a restaurant revered for its daring tasting menu and intimate 12-seat setting. With support from Carlo Mirarchi, Blanca’s original founder, Blamey brings her inventive, globe-trotting techniques and Chilean heritage to a new chapter at the once Michelin-starred gem.Set behind Bushwick’s famed Roberta’s, Blanca offers an immersive, nearly three-hour culinary journey that pushes the boundaries of fine dining. Each course showcases Blamey’s meticulous attention to detail.

Beyond the kitchen, Blanca’s experience is enhanced by an extensive natural wine list and music as eclectic as the food.Executive Chef Victoria Blamey and Chef and Co-owner Carlo Mirarchi sit down with Forbes editor Maggie McGrath to discuss Blanca’s revival, their creative process, and what’s next for the iconic restaurant.Read more on Forbes:https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinwolfe/2024/01/26/stars-have-aligned-chef-victoria-blamey--blanca-in-brooklyn-are-reborn/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
