Douglas Allen 552 Posted October 25 Thank you for the information, Ms Barber. Karen Kain and the NBOC have been linked for so long, I don't think I ever thought the two would be separated! I can't imagine how, and with whom, she will be replaced. En passant, the story brought to mind memories of how good a dancer she was and then, unusually, becoming an equally sound director. A remarkable career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Macmillan 4,179 Posted October 25 The Board certainly has big shoes to fill over there as it looks for a replacement. I seem to recall Tamara Rojo doing some time "under instruction" with Karen Kain ........ just sayin', as I believe they say these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since ENB and NBOC share three leading dancers already and Rojo was, I believe, born in Canada, one way forward is pretty obvious! ! ! ! ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
