Devon Carney, Ballet Master-in-Chief is now Associate Artistic Director of Cincinnati Ballet.

Cincinnati Ballet Artistic Director Victoria Morgan says, “Devon will be more involved with artistic decisions, auditions, budgets, planning the season, negotiating contracts and in general will be doing everything he has been doing—but will now receive the appropriate recognition.”

(For context, one might recall that Ballet exec director Paul Kaine departed last month.)

“Devon has been my right hand man from the moment he arrived in Cincinnati four years ago,” Morgan adds. Before arriving in Cincinnati in 2003, Carney had been a principal dancer and Ballet Master with Boston Ballet.

 

For Cincinnati Ballet, Mr. Carney has choreographed U Too?, Just You and Me, Another Time, Another Space, Blue Rondo, and in September 2007, Convergent Sight. In February 2002 Mr. Carney choreographed Acts 2 and 4 of a full-length Swan Lake. In November of 2006, he choreographed his full-length version of Giselle, to rave reviews.
