2011–2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Artistically, when we recall some of the

more uncertain moments of the season

– devastating injuries and last-minute

casting changes – we were overwhelmed

with pride by the overall strength and te-

nacity of our company of dancers. Their

ability to step in at a moment’s notice or

to painfully work their way back to phys-

ical health is no small feat. They support

each other both onstage and off, and

when we saw our corps de ballet truly

breathing as one during Giselle, we knew

we had achieved something remarkable.

The end of the season allowed us to take

a collective breath as we closed another

year with a financial surplus and cele-

brated multiple years of ongoing stabil-

ity. As our staff and number of dancers

have grown slightly, we were thrilled to

be able to extend small raises and, for

the first time, develop plans to begin a

401(k) match for our employees – a tes-

tament to the administrative health of

our organization, for which we are very

proud.

Much of the spring was spent deep in

conversation and data analysis with

some of our closest friends as we spent

countless hours developing our stra-

tegic plan for the 2012–2016 Seasons.

While it is ambitious, we are confident

it is achievable and has the potential to

usher in a new era at Cincinnati Ballet.

Embracing the tremendous potential in-

herent in the celebration of our 50th An-

niversary during the 2013–2014 Season,

we are poised for even greater things to

come. Onward!

With gratitude for your faithful support,

DEAR CINCINNATI

Each season, it feels as though the good

news we have the privilege of sharing

just gets bigger and better. In many

ways, the 2011–2012 Season was a dream

come true. The holidays brought the ar-

rival of our brand new Frisch’s Presents

The Nutcracker which exceeded even our

highest expectations. This production

was the culmination of years of hopeful

plans and the tireless effort of so many.

While we are immensely proud of what

transpired onstage, it’s what happened

offstage that lies at the core of our suc-

cess. The community that rallied behind

us and the relationships built with won-

derful new supporters and community

leaders were humbling and invigorating.

We are so blessed!

On the financial front, our box office ex-

ceeded $2 million in ticket sales for the

first time in our history – truly a glorious

victory for us! It’s an achievement wor-

thy of a standing ovation.

There are so many other great moments

to celebrate. We are still haunted by the

sounds of Johnny Cash’s voice floating

through the halls of the Ballet Center

and readily recall the unexpected emo-

tional climax of The Man in Black from

our Kaplan New Works Series. The

season also brought a fresh, new cho-

reographic voice in the form of Stacey

Tookey with her imaginative shadow play,

and who can forget the dramatic end

of Adam Hougland’s Rite of Spring, the

charm of The Steadfast Tin Soldier or the

theater full of young families eager to

partake in our first ever performance of

Ballet Toybox? Our Otto M. Budig Acad-

emy is bursting at the seams, with more

graduates going on to pursue competi-

tive higher education dance programs,

including one who will be joining the

upper ranks of the Royal Ballet School.

Our education and outreach programs

are reaching further into the community

than ever before.

Final Marketing ReportAllie Honebrink, Director of Marketing & Communications

From the creation of New Works at the beginning of the season to

the fairy tale ending of Princess & the Pea, Cincinnati Ballet brought

the community together in growing numbers to witness the power

and beauty of dance. 6,505 more people attended Cincinnati Ballet

productions in the 2011–2012 Season than in the 2010–2011 Season.

Overall, Cincinnati Ballet hit a new record in ticket sales revenue

of $2.23M. Average ticket price increased from $45.45 to $50.57

representing an 11% increase as compared with the Consumer Price

Index rise of 1.4%.

With the world premiere of Frisch’s Presents The New Nutcracker, the

Marketing Department was challenged to increase ticket prices while

at the same time increasing attendance. In addition to expanding

paid advertising for The New Nutcracker, continuing a demand

pricing strategy and expanding social media usage, the Nutcracker

made more community appearances than ever before. It seemed that

everywhere you turned in November and December the Nutcracker

was there – on billboards, on the newsstand and even in person. The

New Nutcracker ticket revenue increased by 49% and attendance

grew by 41% from 2010’s Nutcracker.

Development ReportRasheda Malcolm, Director of Development since June 22, 2012

With an economic recession still underway, it could have been a year

when Cincinnati Ballet’s customary excellence dimmed. Instead, our

performances engaged a diverse and growing audience. Ticket sales,

attendance, number of donors, artistic caliber and community reach

continued to excel. Thanks to extremely dedicated staff, Trustees,

friends and fans, Cincinnati Ballet raised over $2.9M in operating sup-

port in the 2011–2012 Season.

Facing several challenges – including an aggressive capital campaign

for our new Nutcracker, raising over $2M, major personnel changes in

the Development Department and a major benefactor’s strategic and

anticipated decision to lower their contribution – fundraising revenue

in the 2011–2012 Season was relatively flat compared to the previous

year with a less than 1% decline, falling just shy of a $3M goal. A sub-

stantial year-end increase was driven by matching grant challenges,

allowing Cincinnati Ballet to secure additional Trustee and individual

support. We thank The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank

Foundation and our anonymous matching grant donor for this success.

Cincinnati Ballet had a myriad of successful events this season

surpassing last year’s revenue by 67%. Led by the volunteer arm of

Cincinnati Ballet, BRAVO!, the company engaged new and passionate

members of the community to increase event attendance, sponsor-

ship and awareness. The committee, chaired by Kathryn Harsh and

Susan Shelton, effectively managed four major events throughout

the season.

Cincinnati Ballet continued to raise the bar for the Children’s Nutcracker

Luncheon. With more than 600 guests (both children and adults),

the Hyatt’s Grand Ballroom was filled to capacity with Ballet lovers.

The Luncheon wowed guests with incredible entertainment: a hand

bell choir, a magician and, as always, excerpts from Frisch’s Presents

The Nutcracker performed by Otto M. Budig Academy students. The

Luncheon was a huge success and netted $38,881 for Cincinnati Ballet.

Celebrating the world premiere of Frisch’s Presents The New

Nutcracker, the Nutcracker Gala featured an elegant dinner before

guests were whisked off to the Aronoff Center for the Arts to watch

the performance. Guests then returned for dancing and cocktails. With

more than 200 in attendance, the Gala raised $75,430.

Dancing With Our Stars, a family-friendly event, was back for another

season at Cincinnati Ballet’s studios. Families enjoyed an elegant buf-

fet dinner, kid-friendly raffle, silent auction and dancing alongside the

professional dancers of Cincinnati Ballet. This event continues to be a

favorite among Cincinnati Ballet’s Otto M. Budig Academy students

and parents, raising $12,480.

Club B, in many ways, was the most successful event of the season.

Held in the Pavilion Room at the Hilton Netherland Plaza, Club B

guests danced the night away between dinner by the bite, cocktails

and an incredible silent auction. This event generated the most

revenue among all of the fundraisers this season at $99,018.

A historic milestone in the history of Cincinnati Ballet, Frisch’s

Presents The New Nutcracker made its world premiere in 2011. Thanks

to tremendous community, corporate, foundation and individual sup-

port, Cincinnati Ballet raised $2,049,070 for The New Nutcracker,

boldly re-envisioning this holiday classic for a new generation.

The campaign had been underway for several years and by the

end of the 2011–2012 Season, it successfully exceeded its $2M goal.

This amount, combined with the $2.9M raised in operating support,

brought the grand total of contributed income to $4,985,158 this sea-

son. With the leading gift from Frisch’s Restaurants, Inc., other major

contributors included PNC Bank, Great American Financial, Sheakley

Group of Companies, the Gardner Foundation, Greater Cincinnati

Foundation, Procter & Gamble and Fifth Third Bank. The world pre-

miere was an astounding success.

Cincinnati Ballet builds its operating reserves in order to safeguard

the bottom line and provide a degree of financial security for the fu-

ture. The organization holds over $1M in operating reserves as of July

31, 2012. Cincinnati Ballet is determined to leave a legacy for genera-

tions to come through these reserves and other financial safeguards.

The company looks forward to building its endowment and is already

planning an endowment campaign related to sustaining the vibrancy

of Cincinnati Ballet and its distinguished programs as we celebrate

our 50th Anniversary in the 2013–2014 Season.

Otto M. Budig Academy ReportVictoria Morgan, Artistic Director | Catherine Batcheller, Academy Dean

Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy continues to grow and

flourish under the direction of Academy Dean, Catherine Batcheller.

Main Division reached 118% of its

revenue goal and the student base

grew from 195 students in 2011 to

210 students in 2012. Performing

and outreach opportunities included

the Blue Ash Recreation Center,

Cincinnati Museum Center, Children’s

Nutcracker Luncheon, Joseph-Beth

Booksellers, Kids in the Kitchen by

the Junior League of Cincinnati,

a Procter & Gamble ArtsWave

performance, Art on the Streets

and the Academy’s annual Spring Production held at the College of

Mount St. Joseph.

Children’s Division enrollment increased 8% from 270 students in

2011 to 291 in 2012. Reformatted scheduling on Saturdays optimized

studio space allowing for more Children’s Division classes on Saturday

morning, a prime time for working parents. Petite Pas de Deux remains

a success and the addition of the Young Boys class has opened

up opportunities for young male dancers to work with Company

members and Academy teachers, James Cunningham and Liang Fu.

The Summer Intensive program continues to draw many new stu-

dents from around the nation and world. With an 18-city audition

tour, the program attracted 113 total students, 56% of which stayed

at the dormitory at the University of Cincinnati. Three interna-

tional students attended, two from Canada and one from Sweden.

Returning master teachers included Devon Carney, Sabir Yapparov,

Sarah Knight, Victoria Morgan and new guest teachers Momchil

Mladenov and Andrea Basile. Shelia Cohen provided her expertise on

Dance History and Jacqui Hass and the Wellington Orthopaedics staff

taught classes in Pilates. The program also continued its one of a kind

scheduling, allowing the students flexibility to attend anywhere from

one to five weeks. Two students from the Summer Intensive pro-

gram were chosen to remain at Cincinnati Ballet as Trainees with the

company, five have moved or are commuting to Cincinnati to train

with the Academy this fall, and two male students have joined from

Cincinnati School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Other sum-

mer programs included the Academy’s popular Kids Dance Camp,

Young Dancer Program and a new program, Junior Summer Intensive,

which attracted area students seeking Cincinnati Ballet training.

OTTO M . BUDIG ACADEMY

New classes included the establishment of Teen Division open classes.

This has allowed students who are unable to meet the rigorous

demands of the Main Division schedule to receive quality training

with the flexibility of a class pass. Classes included both ballet and

modern and will be continued in the fall of 2012. The Academy also

tested the waters of a lyrical class, a technique that combines the

technical elements of classical ballet with the freedom, fluidity and

expressiveness of jazz, contemporary and modern dance. The class

was well received and is also planned for the fall of 2012.

Adult Classes maintain a steady stream of students and revenue.

Through 2011–2012, the Academy offered ballet, jazz, modern and

hip hop at the downtown and Blue Ash locations. Rhythm & Motion,

led by the charismatic Heather Britt, enjoyed increased attendance

of 8% over last year, serving 17,170 new and returning students in

twelve classes a week. Heather is currently training new teachers and

searching for availability to add additional classes while preserving

Rhythm & Motion’s style and class atmosphere. This unique class has

introduced the sensation and physical benefits of dance to a diverse

population. Many of these participants not only attend Cincinnati

Ballet performances but have also become sponsors and Trustees.

Several Otto M. Budig Academy students are pursuing dance at

prestigious schools across the country. David Donnelly placed in the

top twelve senior men at the Youth Grand Prix Finals in New York

City and will be attending the Royal Ballet School in London with the

possibility of performing with the company. Six graduating Academy

seniors will be pursuing dance education at Butler University, SUNY

Purchase, New York University and the University of Cincinnati -

College Conservatory of Music.

Cincinnati Ballet’s Education Department brought dance to more

people and more new places in 2011–2012 than ever before. CBII,

Cincinnati Ballet’s Second Company, traveled to new audiences as far

away as Augusta, Kentucky and Vevay, Indiana, more than doubling

appearances from the previous year.

C I N C Y D A N C E !

Cincinnati Ballet’s flagship CincyDance! (presented by Cincinnati Bell)

brings six weeks of ballet classes to primarily Title 1-eligible elemen-

tary schools. At the end of six weeks, students with facility, ambi-

tion and passion are invited to attend a 20-week Ballet Foundations

class through the Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy. In the

2011–2012 Season, CincyDance! increased the number of programs

from 19 to 23, adding CISE schools; Corryville Catholic, St. Boniface,

Holy Family and St. Francis De Seraph. The program reached more

students overall, 980 compared to 753 the previous year. The Ballet

Foundations class had the highest attendance rate in the history of

the initiative. Five lifetime scholarships to attend the Cincinnati Ballet

Otto M. Budig Academy were awarded after the most intense compe-

tition in the history of the program.

C I N C Y D A N C E ! R E A C H I N G L O N G -T E R M G O A L S

As a student progresses in the Otto M. Budig Academy, he or she

may take classes up to six days a week for two to three hours a day.

In early years, the commitment is typically two to three hours per

week. All Academy levels tend to naturally thin out as the levels

increase. Level 1 has over 100 students, whereas Level 7, the highest

Academy level, has just eight students. Until 2010, CincyDance! had

only one to two students to ever progress higher than Level 3. In the

2011–2012 Season CincyDance! had ten students in Level 3 or above.

We hope to graduate all of these students from the program.

Cincinnati Ballet’s Education Department offers both a one-session

workshop and a longer-term residency prorgram. This year we con-

tinued to be a leader in providing dance instruction to after school

programs in the Greater Cincinnati area. Families Forward!, a United

Hays-Porter Elementary, Bond Hill Academy, Evanston Academy and

Carson School. These programs reached over 850 students.

provided this program over 25 times in 2011–2012 and reached 8,096

people, more than doubling the previous season’s achievement.

In the previous season Cincinnati Ballet added a full-time staff posi-

tion to better coordinate and oversee CBII, Cincinnati Ballet’s Second

Company, and the trainee program. The program grew from five mem-

bers in 2010 to 15 in the 2011–2012 Season, allowing for growth in the

number of places visited, the number of audience members reached

and the type of repertoire that CBII was able to perform. This year, CBII

traveled to Vevay, Indiana to participate in Story Fest. A two-day event,

the In Step program was provided a total of six times, reaching the

entire school system. In Augusta, Kentucky, the Arts Guild generously

provided funding to bring CBII to the entire region. With two perfor-

mances in one day, over 1,000 students in the two neighboring coun-

ties, including K-12 and homeschooled students, enjoyed our program.

CBII’s primary purpose is to dance with the professional Company.

CBII and trainee members join Cincinnati Ballet for a year-long

apprenticeship, which includes a stipend. The organization has made

an investment in this area, allowing Cincinnati Ballet to attract a

higher level of professional dancers from across the country. CBII

and trainee members attend company class and rehearsal from 11:15

am to 6:15 pm, Monday through Friday. The Education department

then schedules CBII programming in the evenings, and depending

on Cincinnati Ballet’s rehearsal schedule, on weekends. In addition to

performing in every full-length ballet with the Company in 2011–2012,

CBII members participated in 74 additional outreach engagements,

performing in schools, community centers, churches, outdoors with

the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and in small theatres throughout

the tri-state region.

with the help of the dancers to demonstrate what they have learned

during the workshop, bringing fun for the whole family.

Financial ReportCraig Lattarulo, Director of Finance

For the fourth consecutive year, Cincinnati Ballet closed the 2011–

2012 Season with a substantial financial surplus. Ticket sales exceed

goal by $158,000, or 8.5%, to reach over $2M in sales, aided in large

part by Frisch’s Presents The New Nutcracker. The organization has

successfully managed the operating budget and closely monitored

revenue and expense activity, finishing the year with small variances

from budget to actual. Overall operating revenues exceeded the

$6.1M budget by about $181,000, or 2%. Total operating expenses

exceeded the $6.1M budget by about $60,000, or just 1%. With careful

monitoring and successes in revenue goals, the year ended with a

$127,000 surplus, adding to the growing fund balance and increasing

cash reserves. From 2007 to 2011, Cincinnati Ballet’s net asset base

has grown from $4.1M to $5.9M, a 44% increase. This is the result of

an accumulated operating surplus and the Frisch’s Presents The New

Nutcracker capital campaign.

For the coming 2012–2013 Season, Cincinnati Ballet’s budget has

increased to approximately $6.8M. This $700,000 increase over the

2011–2012 budget is the result of increased production costs due

to exciting and artistically engaging season programming and the

anticipation of increased staffing needs. The organization continues

to budget for contingencies and challenge expenses in the hopes

of further increasing reserve funds and cash flow. The Finance

Department looks forward to finalizing the implementation of Sage

Fund Accounting software, a transition long overdue as the current

provider Paciolan no longer supports its existing accounting package.

Updated software will allow for better tracking and reporting on all

expense and revenue categories and departments, as well as save

staff time with push-button reporting and enhanced modules.
