Madison Ballet Artistic Director W. Earle Smith Says Goodbye After The 2017-18 Season

Leaving behind a 19-year legacy, Madison Ballet Artistic Director W. Earle Smith announced he will leave the organization at the end of the 2017-2018 performance season. Smith was a prolific director and choreographer for Madison Ballet and is leaving to pursue personal projects.

“I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that I have had with Madison Ballet,” says Smith. “I will cherish the wonderful time working with students and professional dancers during my tenure and will hold Madison Ballet near and dear to my heart. I am excited about the new adventures that lie ahead.”

Smith began his tenure at Madison Ballet in 1999 and quickly envisioned more for the organization, expanding its educational programs, as well as the performance season. Under Smith’s leadership, Madison Ballet’s operating budget grew from approximately $250,000 to $1.1 million.

In 2005, Smith opened the School of Madison Ballet (SMB), a highly respected school that currently enrolls over 400 children and adults annually. Additionally, SMB established Madison’s first all-male boy’s ballet class, as well as the city’s first pre-professional program. This program was created to provide training opportunities for dancers seeking a professional career.

One of Smith’s most visible accomplishments has been the formation of a Madison-based professional ballet company. The company, comprised of almost 20 dancers, forms the artistic core of the organization, playing lead roles in performances, the school, and outreach programs.

Smith choreographed over 25 new works for Madison Ballet’s repertoire, including five full-length ballets. His high-flying Peter Pan was an instant family favorite, and his rock ballet, Dracula, garnered such critical and box office success that it helped the company gain a foothold in the touring circuit. Overseeing the company’s annual performances of The Nutcracker, this beloved Madison production has been seen by over 200,000 people since Smith took the helm.

Smith’s reputation in the dance community allowed Madison Ballet to acquire the rights to several ballets by George Balanchine—founding Artistic Director of New York City Ballet and widely considered a 20th century master. Adding these ballets to Madison Ballet’s repertoire is a testament to Smith’s artistic leadership. Through Smith’s innovative work, Madison Ballet has evolved into an organization with a strong regional presence and a national reputation for excellence.

Earle Smith’s dedication to the development of the students and professional company of Madison Ballet “has been inspirational,” remarks board president Robert Cottingham. “I have been honored to work with him and to be associated with the many wonderful productions he has brought to the stage. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Madison Ballet, we congratulate Earle on his achievements and wish him much success in the future. His contributions to this organization will be felt long after he is gone, and we will continue to uphold Madison Ballet’s commitment to bringing professional ballet to the greater Madison community.”

W. Earle Smith will remain with Madison Ballet through the 2017-18 Season, which includes three productions: The Nutcracker (Dec 9-26, 2017), She (Feb 2-3, 2018) and Rise (March 30-31, 2018). The board of directors will conduct a search for the next Artistic Director.

Smith sees a bright future for Madison Ballet. “So many people over the years have contributed to the success of Madison Ballet.” He notes, “I have had the privilege of working with many talented dancers, faculty, musicians, volunteers, board members, production, and administrative staff. It is always the heroes on stage, backstage, and behind the scenes that make a performing arts organization great.”

Founded in 1981, Madison Ballet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts organization based, led by Artistic Director W. Earle Smith. Its mission is to promote appreciation of and access to ballet by providing training and performing opportunities through public performances and educational initiatives.

In addition, Madison Ballet presents a varied repertoire of other performances each season, from intimate mixed-bill programs to elaborate full-length productions.

Community outreach programs such as Madison Ballet: Offstage & Personal and Behind the Curtains bring the magic of Madison Ballet to both the young and young-at-heart, providing new perspectives on this timeless art form.

The School of Madison Ballet (SMB) opened in September 2005 and has become one of the most highly respected dance education programs in the Midwest. SMB provides classes and pre-professional training for over 400 students from children to adults. Alumni of the school and studio company have gone on to prestigious companies and schools, such as Sacramento Ballet, Miami City Ballet, School of American Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet School, and Ballet Chicago.

Datica and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Co-present at AWS re:Invent 2017 about Standardizing Compliance on the Cloud

MADISON, WIS. — NOVEMBER 16, 2017

Datica, the cloud platform for digital health applications, today announced the selection of Adam Leko, the company’s chief technology officer and David Deas, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare’s (MLH) corporate director, innovation & knowledge analytics, for a joint healthcare presentation on how to eliminate HIPAA compliance as a barrier to speed-to-market hospital development goals at this year’s AWS re:Invent conference.

“In 2017, Datica has enabled several hospital systems to more effectively reduce capital and operational costs by safely and securely moving to the cloud in a compliant manner,” said Leko. “This presentation will show how MLH uses the compliant Datica platform to ensure that the configuration and orchestration of Amazon Web Services (AWS) HIPAA-eligible services meet the controls set by the healthcare’s most stringent accreditation body, HITRUST, with every workload deployment.”

While demand for on-premises infrastructure has diminished in healthcare, the adoption of cloud-based solutions has grown exponentially. Cloud computing is proving that it expands accessibility to healthcare data and Datica’s platform is helping those health systems interested in deploying digital health applications in the cloud to meet the rigorous security and regulatory compliance standards of the industry.

“By removing security concerns as a barrier to using cloud-based systems, Datica has opened up a new world of possibilities that we would otherwise have been too cautious to undertake. Leveraging the ease and expandability of the compliant Datica platform running on AWS we have greatly accelerated our Innovation team’s capabilities, which allows us to play out ‘what if’ scenarios without large capital commitments or burdensome ROI proofs,” said Deas of MLH. “All of this has expanded the number of projects we can tackle and lead to a remarkable transformation in how we approach healthcare innovation.”

The Datica/MLH 60-minute live presentation, How Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare’s Focus on Standardizing Compliant Ops Led to Breakthrough Apps will take place on Monday, November 27 at the Venetian, Level 2, Venetian F in Las Vegas at 12:15 Pacific Time.

EatStreet co-founders named to the Forbes 30 Under 30

High-profile honorees include Madison company’s CEO and chief technology officer

Madison, Wisconsin – Forbes has named EatStreet co-founders Matt Howard and Alex Wyler to its prestigious 2018 30 Under 30, unveiled today.

Howard, CEO, and Wyler, chief technology officer, were named to the consumer technology category, marking the first time Wisconsin tech startup leaders were chosen by Forbes for this category. The 30 Under 30 includes 600 winners, ranging from top entrepreneurs and innovators to philanthropists and difference-makers.

“Matt and Alex had a vision from day one to build a pioneering, tech-based business in the Midwest,” said Joe Kirgues of gener8tor. “Being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 is reflective of their dedication to creating a successful business and solving a problem consumers care about.”

Inclusion on the list further solidifies that EatStreet’s ongoing growth and customer-focused strategies are not only effective, but also respected nationally. The recognition comes on the heels of consistent national sales growth, the addition of delivery as a core service and more than $38.5 million in venture capital funding.

Howard and Wyler co-founded EatStreet in a University of Wisconsin dorm room in 2010 to address food delivery problems they faced: trivial consumer delivery fees and lackluster service to restaurants. They’ve since built an intuitive online food-ordering and delivery platform, including a website and apps, to provide an experience that erases the distance between hungry and happy for 1.7 million diners in 250-plus U.S. cities.

“It’s amazing to be recognized on this list with other young people who are improving and changing the world,” said Matt Howard, CEO of EatStreet. “This recognition is a big deal for us, but we hope it goes beyond that by bringing more attention to our Midwest tech community, which is vibrant and full of talent.”
