Paul Kaine departs from his exec director post at Cincinnati Ballet on April 1 “to seek new opportunities,” according to the ballet’s hot-off-the-presses press release.

 

All power is now vested in Ballet artistic director Victoria Morgan. (Girl Power! Yay!) Ms. Vic is now where the buck stops for both artistic and administrative decisions.

Kaine has been with the ballet for two years in an office that’s had something of a revolving door.

“Having accomplished the goals that were set out it is appropriate for me now to move on to new opportunities,” says Paul Kaine. He added that he’ll miss everybody.

President and Chairman-Elect of the Board of Cincinnati Ballet Kathy Selker, who will take office August 1, 2008, says “we are very grateful to have had Paul Kaine as Executive Director these past two years, and wish him well in the future.”
