Gillian Murphy, one of American Ballet Theater’s most enduring stars, was living in rural Pennsylvania with her husband, Ethan Stiefel, and their infant son, getting curbside delivery from a market 20 miles away. Murphy and Stiefel had joked that the two-bedroom cabin in the woods was their apocalypse house, and in a way, it was. When the Covid pandemic hit, they moved there. “Full isolation,” Murphy said in a recent interview at Lincoln Center. “But in terms of the timing of it, for me as a mom it was kind of amazing. That being said, I also thought my career was over.” Early in the pandemic, Murphy told Kevin McKenzie, then Ballet Theater’s artistic director, that if and when the company made it back onstage it would be time for her to wrap things up. He told her that she had years left in her. “That conversation was really incredible because I would have come back and maybe done ‘The Dream’ and retired years ago,” Murphy said, referring to the Frederick Ashton ballet. But “when I got back in the studio,” she continued, “I ended up feeling so much better than I could have ever expected. I absolutely love to dance. It’s actually a little unclear to me why I was just going to walk away from that.” She knew, though, that she wanted to stop while she was still feeling good and to leave on her own terms. And that’s just what she is doing. On Friday, after a 29-year career with Ballet Theater, Murphy, 46, will dance her final performance, Odette-Odile in “Swan Lake,” opposite her friend James Whiteside, who summed up her decision to go out in such an arduous ballet as “completely unhinged.” Susan Jaffe, Ballet Theater’s artistic director, wasn’t surprised. “A lot of ballerinas retire that ballet and they do ‘Romeo and Juliet’ or things that are easier on the body,” Jaffe said. “But not Gillian Murphy, and that shows not only her physical strength, but strength of character and courage and determination, which is what she always has embodied.” Murphy joined Balle…

🚨 The EU will not suspend the trade agreement with Israel.
So, it actually worked.

This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/k7Xxcad3

It's amazing how in dark times creativity pops up in a humourous way, to cope with the loss of moral values, by a person not worth to be a leader, who spreads false info. I stand personally with Ukraine and president Zelensky.❤️🇺🇦
So am I. I love Ukraine!! 🇺🇦
Hope the world doesn't look back for the tyrannical behaviour of the president of the United states ( what's still in that title now). I hope President Zelensky ( who deserves that title) keeps on resisting and gets all help to resist two vicious dictatorial nitwits. ❤️🇺🇦
