Even folks who moved away from the neighborhood are still fans. Diana Gherman remains on the nonprofit’s board of directors and hopes to reserve a planter box to keep ties to the project. “It’s just really exciting to see the transformation take place,” Gherman said. “The block was such a dumping ground, but there’s so much investment down there right now, the neighbors are dedicated and it’s really amazing to see.”. Selna said planter boxes will first be offered to the neighbors on 43rd and 44th streets, then the larger community, likely through a lottery and a waiting list. Because the garden encompasses both city and Caltrans property, Selna said residents are only allowed to grow produce in boxes on the city’s property. Anything west of the sidewalk is Caltrans land, he said, which restricts growers to flowers and nonedible herbs.

The project also still needs donations for lighting and power installation, soil, and seeding, as well as money for two 3,000 gallon water tanks for drought-friendly irrigation, If it works — and Selna says there hasn’t been a major dumping incident since the fence was erected — he hopes the city and other communities will be similarly inspired, “If you’re a city with a small general fund, one of the big assets you have is your neighborhoods,” he said, “I hope this will be one more example of how to make 10 pieces -ballet shoes necklaces the city think creatively and be open minded.”..

Even so, it could be a while before the world-renowned Ballet Nacional de Cuba — last seen in Berkeley in 2001 — visits the Bay Area again. But this weekend, audiences can experience “Giselle” — as choreographed by the Cuban company’s celebrated artistic director, Alicia Alonso — at the newly rechristened Silicon Valley Ballet (formerly Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley), whose “Giselle Project” runs Oct. 16-18. Recently I visited the troupe’s San Jose headquarters to speak with Havana-born artistic director José Manuel Carreño and others about “The Giselle Project” and to watch its dancers (six of them from Cuba) in their daily technique class as well as rehearsal.

As I take a seat, the dancers are 10 pieces -ballet shoes necklaces busy stretching their limbs before quickly finding places at the barres, Using words and her expressive hands, Cuba’s Loipa Araújo, who’s been recruited as a guest rehearsal assistant, begins to demonstrate the combination of steps she wants, Within minutes, it’s apparent that every movement sequence is designed to help the dancers master Alonso’s “Giselle” choreography — which demands lightning-speed footwork, soaring jumps and pristine pirouettes, all requiring steely strength masked by ethereal grace..

The classical ballet staple “Giselle” was created in 1841 by choreographers Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot for the Paris Opera Ballet. Its story of an innocent village girl betrayed by her lover Albrecht, a nobleman posing as a peasant, was written by Théophile Gautier and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and set to a commissioned score by Adolphe Adam. Alonso, one of the great international interpreters of the title role, patterned her own version (1953) after this original. When the class wraps up and dancers head for the rehearsal spaces, I speak with Carreño and Araújo, who stress that the class isn’t just a warmup for rehearsal, but a foundation for everything that will happen on stage in the production.

They say the dancers have been wonderfully responsive, And Araújo mentions that she and Carreño — who started with the Ballet Nacional de Cuba before working as a principal dancer with the English National Ballet, The Royal Ballet and the American Ballet Theatre — go back a long way, She recalls holding him as a baby, and Carreño says she’s very special to him, She has traveled with him all over the world as 10 pieces -ballet shoes necklaces teacher and coach, When she leaves San Jose in 24 hours to work with the English National Ballet, Cuban teacher Svetlana Ballester will join the troupe here to continue its training in the same style..

Asked why he chose this particular “Giselle,” since he has danced in many versions during his illustrious career, Carreño says, “It was the first one I learned, so it’s really in my blood. I think it is a masterpiece, one of the best ballets that (the Alonsos), Fernando and Alicia (co-founders of Ballet Nacional de Cuba), ever put together. “It’s exciting for me to bring it here,” he adds. “No company in the United States has ever done it. We will be the first.”.

Other companies that perform Alonso’s “Giselle” are the Paris Opera Ballet, Vienna State Opera and San Carlo Theater in Naples, In the San Jose production, Carreño will debut in the role of Hilarion, the gamekeeper who’s in love with Giselle, And he will appear on stage for the first time with his brother Yoel, a guest artist on loan from the Norwegian National Ballet, in the 10 pieces -ballet shoes necklaces part of Albrecht, (They dance Friday and Sunday.), It’s purely coincidental that “The Giselle Project” has come together in the wake of the thaw in Cuban relations, Carreño, 47, says that “since beginning here (in 2013), I wanted to do it, But getting the rights and talking with Alicia were complicated, because she travels with her company on tour, The process took a year and a half, and it just wasn’t ready for last season.”..
