Just as she thought, Odette was in a darkened movie theater (seeing the remarkable film The Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance, which she will be reviewing here soon), when San Francisco Ballet announced further casting of Program 5 and the first two performances of Program 6, including the world premiere of Ashley Page’s Guide to Strange Places, provided for you below. Do be aware this is just a ‘cut & paste’ from their web site and any changes and further casting, as usual, will be posted on their casting page here, where you will be rewarded for your continued diligence in checking.
