SCOTT THYBERG was born in Connecticut. A music prodigy, he received early formal education in Piano, French horn, Music Theory and Ear Training. At 16, he moved to New York City to accept a scholarship to The Juilliard School. He studied with New York Philharmonic Principal horn players James Chambers and John Cerminaro. He received a full scholarship to study at the Aspen Music Festival for three summers. While at Juilliard he was a frequent featured performer in Carnegie, Avery Fisher and Alice Tully Halls under the world’s leading conductors including Leonard Bernstein, Zubin Mehta, Herbert von Karajan, and Mstislav Rostropovich.
Mr. Thyberg studied classical ballet on full scholarship at Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts and made his debut as a dancer in the role of Franz in Nutmeg Ballet’s Coppelia opposite Victoria Mazzarelli. He later trained and performed with Patricia Wilde’s Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre ll. At Rudi van Dantzig’s invitation, he completed a teaching internship at the Dutch National Ballet School. He was one of only ten American teachers selected to receive pedagogical training in the Paris Opera Ballet School’s syllabus with Claude Bessy and Serge Golovine.
Mr. Thyberg choreographed his first ballet World of Wonders in 1989, commissioned by the Nutmeg Ballet. He was immediately engaged as the company’s Resident Choreographer and Ballet Master. From 1989-95 he made six ballets including Shostakovich Cello Concerto, The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and Katabasis. In 1995 he was appointed Artistic Director of Evansville Dance Theatre and its official school. He founded the Ohio River Dance Project, touring his new productions of The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Coppelia. He also staged two evening-length works Farewell Debut and Ballet on the Radio. He choreographed the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Ravinia Festival premiere of Tales and Scales’ Medusa.
From 1998-2002, Mr. Thyberg was on the faculty of Ballet Academy East (NYC) and the summer faculty of Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. During this time he received choreographic commissions from companies and schools: Guided in Essentials (2000) and Sinfonia Sacra (2001) for the University of the Arts (Merriam Theatre, Philadelphia), Godspeed (2000) and Shostakovich Cello Concerto (revised 2001) for Allegheny Ballet. Georgina Pazcoguin and Tyler Angle danced the principal roles at the 2001 Regional Dance America Gala. He has been commissioned to choreograph contemporary ballet variations for medalists and finalists at the Prix de Lausanne, New York International Ballet Competition and Youth America Grand Prix. He returned to Nutmeg Ballet as Resident Choreographer in 2002 and became Associate Artistic Director in 2005.
Mr. Thyberg and Kyle Passaro founded Dansereye Productions in 2003. Three galas – The Persistence of Vision (2003), The Continuous Vivid Dream (2004) and The Suspension of Disbelief (2005) – were presented at the Warner Theatre, Torrington, Connecticut. These performances featured dancers, many former students, from American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, Frankfurt Ballet, Miami City Ballet, MOMIX, New York City Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet and Staatsballett Berlin. Guest Artists have included Ethan Stiefel, Gillian Murphy, Alexandra Ansanelli and Damian Woetzel. Dansereye has premiered three ballets by Mr. Thyberg: Mirth (2003), The Slice (2004) and Scrape Dances (2005). Jennifer Dunning wrote in the New York Times, “For sheer fun, nothing quite equaled Scott Thyberg’s deliciously silly new Slice.”
