Karole Armitage

Karole Armitage is mentioned in the diary in connection with a ballet at the Joyce Theater. The entry places her within a specific performance project rather than offering a broader account of her life or career: Robert LaFosse was making a guest appearance, and David Salle, identified as Armitage’s boyfriend, designed the costumes.

The Joyce Theater Ballet

The performance is introduced through tickets set aside for the diarist. Robert LaFosse’s guest appearance gives the engagement a named performer, while the reference to Armitage identifies her as the ballet’s central creative figure. The passage does not describe the choreography or the performance itself.

Salle and the Production

The diary links Armitage’s professional project to her relationship with David Salle. Salle is credited with designing the costumes and is also described as the artistic director. These details offer a compact picture of the production’s creative context, though the entry does not elaborate on how the couple worked together or specify the scope of Salle’s artistic-director role.
