Threatened closure of the Ballett Frankfurt

Hello all,

I'm forwarding a brief message to you from William Forsythe and
the Ballett Frankfurt. There has been a very serious and very nasty
political battle going on here in the press and local government
that is threatening to close down the company. If you can express
your support by writing an email or letter it would be very greatly
appreciated. Please forward this message to anyone you know
who would like to see the work of William Forsythe and the Ballett
Frankfurt continue in the future.

Thank you very much,
Rebecca Groves

Friends,
The politicians of the city of Frankfurt are about to close the Ballett
Frankfurt.
They want to have classical story ballets.
I'm so dumbfounded I don't know what to think or feel.
Spread the word please and have people send letters if possible,
it's very important.

There is now a website up, where you can go directly and
complain to our mayor Petra Roth:

Thanks so much.
