Fort Wayne Ballet is set to make history in May, as we perform three ballets by Edward Stierle together for the first time. A gifted young dancer and choreographer for the Joffrey Ballet, Eddie passed away in 1991 just after the premier of his last ballet. He was 23 years old.
In our three-part miniseries, Kinetic Conversations looks at the life, career, and legacy of Eddie Stierle. In this first episode, we talk to his sister, Rose Worton, about what made Eddie a unique light in the ballet world – the man who could have been the next Balanchine if fate had not intervened.
Kinetic conversations is hosted by Fort Wayne Ballet Executive Director Jim Sparrow and Artistic Director Karen Gibbons-Brown. Our Guests for this series are Rose Worton and Kim Sagami. Music composed by John Dawkins. Produced and engineered by John Dawkins and Wayneshout Productions.
