Guest Star Spotlight: Brian Simcoe ✨
Principal Dancer, Oregon Ballet Theatre @oregon.ballet.theatre

Brian has performed with OIBA as our guest artist since our founding in 2015, and he’s danced the Prince in our Nutcracker since our 2018 premiere. Thank you, Brian, for your generosity and kindness to our young dancers—onstage, offstage, and in the studio. Your artistry and work ethic make you a true role model. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the OIBA family. 🧡

From Brian: “It has been such an honour for me to dance with the students of OIBA through the years, and to give them one on one instruction and experience in partnering. It’s so special to see how they grow and work so diligently to rise to all the challenges.”

Come see Brian in The Nutcracker — tickets in bio. 🩰🎄

I did the thing! 💚💛

I am thrilled to announce that I have graduated from University of Oregon Robert D. Clark Honors College with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, with a focus in Conflict Resolution, Government Affairs, and Diplomatic International Relations. Thank you to everyone who helped me get here. I am so honored and grateful to have you apart of my life!

This past April I began a job with the Duberstein Group, Inc. as a research associate. I have since moved to the DC area and have loved every second. But regardless of where I go, Oregon will always have my heart!

Thanks and go ducks 🦆
