    Former Washington Ballet dancer Stephen Nakagawa (who till not too long ago gave himself the “MAGA former dancer” tag on his Instagram bio) was not too long ago named as the brand new director of dance programming by Richard Grenell, the Trump-appointed president of the Kennedy Heart. His appointment got here after your complete employees of the famend performing arts establishment’s dance division was unceremoniously fired by Grenell final month.

    Regardless that the 2025-26 dance program was contracted earlier than Trump took over as board chair of the Kennedy Heart, the executive shakeup has led to dramatically slumping ticket gross sales, in line with the Washingtonian. Germany’s Stuttgart Ballet is scheduled to carry out on the Opera Home subsequent month, which is at the moment between 4 and 19 % bought. Exhibits afterward in October for the Los Angeles troupe BodyTraffic on the smaller Eisenhower are solely at 12 % capability.
