Mr. Kolesnikov (age 23) receives the $100,000 Enbridge Prize (cash, CAD) and an artistic and career development program valued at a half million dollars - the largest award of its kind.

Let's face it: You have to give Paul Vasterling, the grand poobah (as both artistic director and CEO of Nashville Ballet, what other title suits him best?) of all things musical/dancical/theatrical in Music City, a whole bunch of credit for the imaginative-heretofore unexperienced-heights he has helped his company achieve and his city to claim as its own. The man has redefined the idea of collaboration while giving human form to the term "synergy" with his continuing efforts to push the creative envelope in a city filled with artistic types and their sometimes conflicting sensibilities.

Paul Vasterling along with our guest choreographers have been working hard the last couple weeks putting together their pieces for Emergence. We put together a little 'behind the scenes' glimpse for you of the creative process and we hope to see you at the performance next weekend!

What happens when you put a choreographer in the same room with visual artists and musicians and tell them to come up with "something original"? It remains to be seen, but those creative collaborations will be the focus of Nashville Ballet's upcoming Emergence, presented May 17-19.
