In 1985, Helgi Tomasson became the new artistic direc- tor and principal cho- reographer for the SF Ballet and for the next 35 years, Richard and Helgi had a rich and mutually respectful collaborative partner- ship. Richard's work is renowned through the ballet world, and he even worked with Baryshnikov and Nureyev. He credits that mutual respect stating some of the wisest words ever spoken. "Helgi knew that I knew what I was doing and he trusted me. I was able to resolve problems before they became issues." Richard Battle's designs for the San Francisco Ballet have influenced ballet companies the world over, and he is admired for his leadership, creativity, humor, care for each artist and his tremendously talented crew in the wig and make-up department.
