DAVIS ROBERTSON is the Artistic Director of the New York Dance Project, a nonprofit dance company dedicated to developing dancers and audiences in a diverse, challenging yet accessible repertory that includes classical and neoclassical ballet, modern, contemporary, and cutting-edge new work. He is also a repetiteur for The Gerald Arpino Foundation, and the former Artistic Director of the Joffrey Ballet School and Joffrey Concert Group.
Robertson also co-founded Russian Ballet International and worked with the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow to create Bolshoi summer programs and recruit students for the Bolshoi. Robertson, who started as a break dancer, believes in bridging the ballet and contemporary dance worlds.
He became a principal with the Joffrey Ballet, where his roles included the Cavalier in Robert Joffrey's The Nutcracker, George Balanchine's Prodigal Son, Petruchio in John Cranko's Taming of the Shrew, Death in Kurt Jooss' The Green Table and David Parson's Caught.
His portrayal of the Faun in the Joffrey's reconstruction of Vaslav Nijinsky's L'Apres-Midi D'un Faune prompted the Chicago Sun-Times dance critic to write, "Robertson gives the finest performance I've seen, including that of Rudolf Nureyev for whom the Joffrey re-created this masterpiece in 1979."

REDC company members and members of the RDCT will be performing two new pieces, "Ladies of the Lake " "Selene" of which both pieces were created for and inspired by the theme of the gala: Apollo and his muses: A summer Celebration.
Nimue is thought to be related to Mneme, the shortened form of Mnemosyne, one of the nine water-nymph Muses of Roman and Greek Mythology who gave weapons, not unlike Arthur's sword, to the heroic Perseus.
One of Balanchine's early celebrated works, Apollo takes us on a breathtaking visual journey exploring the inspiration behind beauty and greatness.
