I want to take a moment and thank the DANCERS who have been showing me so much support and LOVE during this blogging process. Thank you guys for believing and trusting in this work that I do. I hope that you are proud of the the beauty that we create together 🙂
When I started this blog , one of my missions was to collaborate with the others dancers and use their “other” talents. A special thank you to Max Zachrisson and Max Fredrik video productions for this incredible collaboration! Max is a fellow Ballet Theater Basel dancer and video editing lover. He is a great energy and joy to collaborate with. Thank you for all of your passion and input to this video. This is the first of many collaborations with Max, look out for more videos in the future! And look out for more collaborations with these amazing artists!
I would like to also thank Anne Catherine Thomas. She is behind the scenes as the Ballet Theater Basel administrator, but she is actually the one who inspired this Inside Ballet Theater Basel idea. Thank you for your guidance and great energy.
Inside Ballet Theater Basel
Introducing a new creative blog by Armando Braswell about the life of Ballet Theater Basel. A behind the scenes journal where the public can discover a new perspective vision of a ballet and a ballet company today.
Armando Braswell is a professional dancer and teacher from New York City. After receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance from The Juilliard School in 2006, Armando danced with Ballett Theater Munich, Gauthier Dance Stuttgart and just recently completed his final season as a soloist with Ballett Theater Basel. Aside from his dancing career, Armando has established himself as a guest teacher in high demand, teaching amateurs and professionals worldwide, including at the Prix De Lausanne and the Juilliard School. Armando has also choreographed for many dance and opera stages, as well as television. In addition to his artistic activities, Armando is also active in the journalistic and social media fields. His popular arts blog, "Interview En L'air", has become widely known in the international dance scene and earned him a place at "Dance For You Magazine” as a permanent correspondent and his media company “Creative Promotional Media” has earned him opportunities to work with clients such as Fondation Beyeler, Basellandschaftliche Kantonal Bank and Theater Basel in Switzerland. In 2015, Armando began to build an arts community in Basel where dancers of all levels and all body types could train in a supportive and professional environment. This idea has since expanded and in 2017, he and his wife Lisa founded the “Braswell Arts Center” – a space for innovation and collaboration in all art forms located in Basel, Switzerland – and in 2019, they officially founded the “Braswell Arts Association,” a non-profit arts organization dedicated to support emerging and established artists. Through arts education and exchange, Armando hopes to encourage young choreographers and to promote mentorship and inclusion within the local and international arts community. www.armandobraswell.com
