Breakfast All Day Podcast: A La Carte With Theresa Farrell

I’ve got something very cool and different this week on Breakfast All Day A La Carte, which I’m excited about sharing. Theresa Farrell is a longtime ballerina and the executive director of the American Contemporary Ballet here in Los Angeles. She’s elegant and radiant but also genuine and sweet as can be, and I loved having the chance to chat with her for a while. We discuss growing up in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she started dancing at age 8; beginning her career in New York City and working with Lincoln Jones to create the American Contemporary Ballet; and bringing ACB to L.A, where they’ve taken an innovative approach to making ballet accessible in a beautiful, unexpected environment. (Their latest production, “Variations on Raymonda,” opens this week.) We also talk about her favorite ballet movies. Because in theory, this is a movie podcast! Put on your dancing shoes, and enjoy.
