Episode 16: Sascha Radetsky

This episode is fascinating. I talk to Sascha about his long career with ABT, his starring roles in Center Stage and Flesh and Bone, as well as his literary aspirations and fears. We try to figure out the definition of the word pedagogy and if “gogue” can be used as a verb as in “You’ve got to be goguing me!” I hope you enjoy this candid conversation with Sascha. This is Front Row.

Sascha Radetsky has had the career of a creative vagabond. Not only was he a soloist with American Ballet Theatre and a principal with Dutch National Ballet, he was the star of 2000s “Center Stage” and 2015s “Flesh and Bone” among other film and television projects. Sascha is now the artistic director of American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company, which is a pipeline for the world’s best talent into the main company. 80% of all current members of ABT are former Studio Company alumni.
