Michael Teasley III- “…respect and trust, not just in myself but also in my Directors and the Organization. You must give respect in order to receive it and having someone’s trust is an important responsibility to hold.”
Kelsey Lewinski- “…personal accountability. Being an apprentice is a hard job! It is time consuming and doesn't always show immediate reward, but that is where personal growth and professionalism start to flourish. I was truly put in a position where I was surrounded by professional talent and various styles in the creative process which allowed me to grow as an artist, while also understanding what it would take to get a company position.”
Alex Hlavaty- “…the importance of work ethic in a professional setting. As an apprentice, it is crucial to understudy many roles in case it is necessary to fill in for a dancer for a performance on short notice. Not only was I performing in many pieces and touring regularly with the company as an apprentice, but I was also expected to be able to jump onstage for a work that I was not cast. It pushed me beyond what I could have ever imagined being capable of. I developed a new level of work ethic during that year.”
Emy Bezbatchenko- “…how to prepare myself for anything. I learned that you always should be prepared and ready to step in the space for someone. I worked on learning multiple parts no matter the position I was told to learn, so come time of trouble, I was ready and prepared to step into the work without hesitation.”
