Hollyn Henderson

This year, Hollyn is going to graduate from the Academy (class of Irina M. Pyatkina, Senior Teacher, Merited Artist of the RF). Hollyn has already passed the State Graduation Examinations and is currently actively preparing for the BBA Graduation Gala shows, where she has a big part to play. The majority of foreign graduates strive to stay in Russia and join ballet companies of this country's musical theaters. This year, three foreign graduates, including Hollyn, got such a chance. The Management of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theater invited her to join their company. Next season, Hollyn will join the company as a ballet performer.

Hollyn has just spent five years filled with hard work and impressions at the Academy. Last year, she participated in a landmark event in the history of the BBA – Creative Master Classes in Vladivostok, Kemerovo, Kaliningrad and Sochi commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Academy’s foundation.

We would like to present a video featuring Hollyn sharing her recollections about trips and performances at a variety of stages across the country, as well as her thoughts about changes of her life since the enrollment with the Academy and most remarkable memories she will cherish forever.
