Listen in on another intimate conversation around The Rosin Box with host Claire Kretzschmar, joined this week by Principal Dancer Taylor Stanley. The topic is all things props, which provide essential context and character development for many of the company's story ballets and "teach you how to remain calm in the moment," as Taylor shares. From training with a professional swordsman in preparation for Romeo and Juliet, to maneuvering the candle in La Sonnambula's haunted pas de deux, Taylor describes many of the playful, challenging, and transformative props used by dancers every season.

Hosts Claire Kretzschmar and Soloist Aarón Sanz are back for another cozy conversation around The Rosin Box. This week, they're joined by Soloist Alexa Maxwell and Principal Dancer Gilbert Bolden III, who have plenty to share about inspiration and motivation, whether for their daily practice, during repetitive performance periods, amidst injuries and other challenges, and beyond. Alexa shares that it's all about the music—she's a "classical music girly"—and that she likes to bunhead out as she's learning a new role; for Gilbert, new audience members, quiet instances of beauty in his everyday life, and cherished passages in well-known ballets can help sustain his art. As all four dancers agree, "If you're open to it, you can be inspired all the time."

Even before Misty Copeland became the first Black woman to be named a principal dancer at the illustrious American Ballet Theatre, she electrified the world of ballet. A prodigy who didn't start dancing until she was 13, she grew up in a transient and often chaotic home. But after she was discovered in a Boys & Girls Club in Los Angeles by a ballet teacher who wanted to expose more kids to the art form, she quickly shot into the national spotlight. As a teen, she studied at the prestigious San Francisco Ballet School and American Ballet Theatre's Summer Intensive. She joined American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and was promoted to principal just five years later, becoming the first Black woman ever to earn the title in the company's 75-year history. Talking Volumes: Misty Copeland Copeland stepped away from the stage in 2020, after an injury and then the pandemic forced a pause. She officially retires this October, but as she told Kerri Miller at Talking Volumes in September, she's eager to enter the next chapter of her life where she can focus on giving back.“Bunheads,” her book series for young dancers, is just one example. At Talking Volumes, a warm and playful Copeland talked about her love of ballet, how dance transformed her life and what comes next. Musical guests for this special Sunday matinee Talking Volumes were Aby Wolf and Eric Mayson.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 10th Publish Date:  October 10th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 10th and Happy Birthday to Van Halen I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula The Georgia Ballet is kicking off its 65th season with something deliciously dark—Dracula. Running Oct. 23–26, 2025, at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in Marietta, this marks the company’s first-ever production of the gothic classic. Choreographed by Norbe Risco (of Kentucky Ballet Theatre fame), the ballet dives into Bram Stoker’s eerie world of moonlit castles, restless spirits, and, of course, the seductive Count himself. Jonathan Harker’s business trip? Yeah, it spirals into a nightmare of terror and temptation. Under Artistic Director Daet Rodriguez, The Georgia Ballet continues to push boundaries, blending tradition with bold, new works. Heads up: this one’s not for the little ones—recommended for ages 12+ due to its mature themes. Oh, and here’s a fun touch: Hamp & Harry’s will be serving up themed cocktails in the lobby. Performances are limited, so grab your tickets soon at georgiaballet.org or call 770-528-0881. STORY 2: Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Councilman Carlyle Kent is leading the money game in the Ward 5 race for Marietta City Council, outpacing both former Councilman Reggie “Game Changer” Copeland and retiree Kenneth Wright. As of the latest fundraising deadline, Kent’s pulled in over $7,880—far more than his opponents, who’ve both pledged to keep their campaigns under $2,500. Kent’s spent about $3,800 so far, leaving him with $4,082 in the bank. His expenses? Campaign staples like shirts, yard signs, postcards, and even a $955 video camera. Notable backers include former Gov. Roy Barnes ($1,500), ex-Councilman Johnny Sinclair ($250), and a mix of local business owners, church leaders, and community figures. Kent even chipped in $400 himself. The final fundraising deadline is Oct. 25—just ahead of the Nov. 4 election. STORY 3: Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus  Cobb Police arrested two students after finding weapons and drugs in a car parked at South Cobb High School last Friday. Inside the vehicle? A loaded gun with 14 rounds, two knives, a THC vape, and less than an ounce of marijuana. Jentry Henson, of Austell, and Kensley Merriweather, of Powder Springs, now face multiple charges, including felony drug possession and carrying weapons in a school safety zone. Merriweather was also charged with an additional felony for allegedly having a THC vape on her. Both teens, born in 2008, were released on bond—$16,720 for Henson and $27,720 for Merriweather. The school district emphasized there was no threat to the community and encouraged parents and students to use the district’s anonymous tip line to report concerns.

Break: TRUCK A PALOOZA STORY 4: Artists to chalk the streets at Marietta’s Chalktoberfest Chalktoberfest is back this weekend, ready to transform Marietta Square into a kaleidoscope of color—and draw a crowd of 40,000 to 60,000 art lovers. Hosted by the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, this two-day festival combines jaw-dropping chalk art with craft beer, live performances, and a whole lot of community spirit. It all kicks off Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and continues Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission? Totally free. What started in 2013 with 20 artists has exploded into a global event, featuring 100 artists from places like Italy, Mexico, and Ukraine. Each artist is sponsored by local businesses—so many, in fact, that organizers had to turn some away this year. And the impact? Huge. Executive Director Sally Macaulay says the festival brings $5.2 million to the city and national recognition to the museum. Sunday’s community chalk competition lets kids (ages 9–17) join the fun, while Saturday’s beer festival offers 120+ brews. Tickets for the beer fest are $55 at the door or $50 online in advance. New this year? Aerial performers will dazzle the crowd with acrobatic routines. Street closures start Friday afternoon, so plan ahead. And the weather? Perfect—sunny and mid-70s all weekend. For tickets and details, visit chalktoberfest.com. STORY 5: Cobb, Marietta Teachers of the Year honored with handprints in Walk of Honor On a crisp fall day in Glover Park, two extraordinary teachers left their mark—literally. Hailey Howdyshell of Marietta City Schools and Amanda Dillard of Cobb County Schools unveiled their handprints on the Teacher Walk of Honor, surrounded by cheering students, proud families, and teary-eyed colleagues. “This isn’t just about me,” Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher, said. “It’s about the kids, my mentors, my team—everyone who’s shaped me.” Dillard, a special education teacher at Pope High, reflected on her journey: “I never planned to teach, but my students showed me why I was meant to.” She’s known for her relentless dedication, helping kids of all abilities find their version of success. The ceremony, part of the Cobb Chamber’s monthlong celebration, will wrap up with a pep rally and a car giveaway for the honorees. But for these two, the real reward is the impact they make every single day. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting We’ll have closing comments after this.

In this episode, Charles Gambetta introduces his innovative bass position system that addresses traditional limitations in fingerboard comprehension. His method combines Roman numerals with Arabic numbers to provide contextual information that enhances physical and mental connections during play. Charles explains how starting students at the 'primary lock' position and focusing on finger placement and shift intervals improves intonation. He also demonstrates how this approach benefits various playing styles and has transformed his teaching approach. Enjoy, and be sure to check out Charles' article on this approach in the New York ASTA Journal.   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Thank you to our sponsors!

October 1956: the Bolshoi Ballet lands in London with 80 tons of scenery, KGB minders in tow, and a troupe led by Galina Ulanova and Maya Plisetskaya. Covent Garden reels at their scale and power – 45 minutes of applause, queues in the rain, a stage too small for their vast sets. Meanwhile, across Europe, the Hungarian Uprising explodes. Ballet, politics, glamour, tanks — three weeks that shook London and rewrote the story of British ballet.

Founder Toni Pimble, Artistic Director Jennifer Martin, and School Director Sara Lombardi discuss the company's journey, their approach to dancer training, including how dancers in their Aspirant program move into the company, as well as how they're shaping ballet's future in Oregon and beyond.

Associate Artistic Director and host Wendy Whelan is back for another enlightening New Combinations conversation. This week, she's joined by choreographer Jamar Roberts, whose newest work for the company will premiere during the Fall Fashion Gala on October 8, timing he describes as "full-circle," considering his own forays into fashion design. His collaboration with designer Iris van Herpen has been uniquely fruitful, as well as his selection of music by Arca, with both informing this ballet that speaks to the times—"but dance," he adds, referring to the joy and beauty the work also inspires.
