Alessandra Ferri is considered to be one of the most talented dramatic ballerinas of our time. Born in Milan, she began her training at the school of Teatro alla Scala and then attended the Royal Ballet School in London. In 1980, Ferri won the prestigious Prix de Lausanne and joined the Royal Ballet that same year. In 1983, she rose to prominence when Sir Kenneth MacMillan selected the 19-year-old dancer for leading roles in his ballets "Romeo and Juliet", "Manon", and "Mayerling". Sir Kenneth went on to choreograph a number of roles for Ferri, making her principal dancer with the company. In 1985, Mikhail Baryshnikov invited Ms. Ferri to join American Ballet Theatre, where she danced as a principal until 2007. Ferri also appeared as principal dancer with Teatro alla Scala from 1992 until 2007.
Ms. Ferri has worked with many of the great choreographers of our time including Sir Frederick Ashton, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, Jerome Robbins, Roland Petit, Jirí Kylián, John Neumeier, Billy Forsythe and Twyla Tharp. Ms. Ferri has received numerous prestigious international awards including the Sir Laurence Olivier Award, the Dance Magazine Award and the Benois de la Danse Prix. In 2006 Ms. Ferri was presented the Cavaliere della Repubblica Honoris by the President of the Italian Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. In 2007, Ms. Ferri retired from the ballet stage. Since 2008 she has been the Director of Dance Programming at the Spoleto Festival in Italy.
After a six-year absence from the stage, Alessandra Ferri returned to performing at the Spoleto Festival in 2013 with a dance-play that she conceived and choreographed, "The Piano Upstairs", written by John Weidman and featuring Boyd Gaines. The Signature Theater production of "Chéri" marks Ferri's return to the American Stage, followed by the Gotham Chamber Orchestra acclaimed production of "The Raven". In May 2015 Wayne McGregor created for her a 3 acts ballet dedicated to Virginia Woolf on stage with the Royal Ballet.

Born in Dnepropetrovsk, USSR (now Ukraine), Artem Ovcharenko began studying ballet at the Dnipropetrovsk State Choreographic School when he was 11 years old. At the age of 17, he entered the Bolshoi Ballet Academy where he participated in the Academy's tours to the U.S., Greece, Germany, China and other countries. He graduated in 2007 and was admitted to the Bolshoi Ballet in the corps de ballet. He rehearsed under the guidance of Nikolai Tsiskaridze and one year later, danced the leading role in the ballet The Nutcracker. Since 2009 his master-repetiteur has been Nikolai Fadeyechev.
As one of the promising young generation of the Bolshoi company, Artem's repertoire covers most of the classical romantic roles: Romeo, The Prince in "The Nutcracker", and Prince Siegfried, as well as leading roles in neoclassical productions such as George Balanchine's "Apollon Musagète" and "Jewels"; "Lady of the Camellias" by John Neumeier, "Onegin" by John Cranko, "Lost Illusions" by Alexei Ratmansky, and "Marco Spada" by Pierre Lacotte. With an ever-eager interest in exploring new roles, Artem has had much success in the contemporary ballets staged at the Bolshoi, such as "Chroma" by Wayne McGregor, "Classical Symphony" by Yuri Possokhov, and "The Taming of the Shrew" by Jean-Christophe Maillot.
Artem has participated in the Bolshoi Ballet tours to Asia, Europe and Americas, and he is a welcome guest star in famous international companies such as Berlin State Ballet, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, Hamburg State Opera, and also at international ballet festivals and national culture projects.
Artem took part in some prestigious dance competitions, receiving gold at the Tanzolymp in Berlin in 2006, and another at the Arabesque competition in Perm in 2008. In 2009 he won a Special prize "To the best partner" at the International competition of ballet dancers, and was awarded with "The Rising Star" nomination. In 2010 he took part in the International Festival "World Ballet Stars" in Donetsk, Ukraine. In January 2011, he performed with Bolshoi principal, Nina Kaptsova at the 6th Prague Ballet Gala, and in August, he danced with Anna Tikhomirova, at the closing gala-concert of the 8th Congress of the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations in Hanoi. In July 2012, he and Anna Tikhomirova participated in Rossiya K's "Grand Ballet Project" (televised in December 2012), where they were awarded the Grand Prix as "Best Ballet Duo".
