Team

Marsha Borin (Executive Director)

Marsha Borin studied ballet passionately as a child with James Jamieson and attended School of American Ballet and Indiana University. She credits the skills of tenacity and refinement learned in ballet to helping her go through law school. While practicing commercial law as a partner in the firm of Borin and McDonald, she had the opportunity to help found and direct the Russian Theater, a company composed of dancers trained in the most famous Russian ballet schools who had been stranded in America. Beginning with no resources, the company ultimately performed to critical acclaim for thousands and collaborated with accomplished American dancers to present the well loved classics as well innovative contemporary works using popular music.

Ms Borin has also presented many evenings of open conversation on stage with celebrities and great thinkers including Elie Wiesel, Julian Bond, Anita Hill, Mario Batali, Nora O’Donnell, Salman Rushdie and Joyce Carol Oates and currently serves as president of Strategies and Solutions, consultants to the arts and education, which is assisting in the development of a college on two continents where global learning will foster peace and international enterprise.
