What makes a dancer, or any artist, great?

Talent just gets you in the door.

Desire only takes you so far.

Those 10,000 hours of practice that Malcolm Gladwell made famous?

Necessary but not sufficient.

The real key to success in the arts, and perhaps any demanding field, is a willingness to impose on oneself radically higher standards than the world around you might set.

Seo Hye Han, a principal dancer with Boston Ballet who will dance Aurora for the first time in Marius Petipas The Sleeping Beauty, running now through May 27 at the Boston Opera House, exemplifies living by those self-imposed standards.

Han dances with such exquisite grace that its unfair to say she makes it look easy. Instead, she makes it look perfect. And to achieve that level of perfection, she pays a huge price.

Han knew from the time she was eight years old that she wanted to be a professional dancer. She grew up in South Korea and her parents were deeply supportive of her desire.

By her late teens, Han had sacrificed enough to become one of the worlds top dance prospects, winning a competition in Switzerland, which afforded her a scholarship to study dance in Russia.

South Koreans are very family-oriented, Seo says. It was very hard to leave my family, but Russia offered such great training that I couldnt say no.

Han settled in Boston in 2013, where she became a member of the internationally-focused Boston Ballet. The life of a dancer is grueling, with performers typically notching 11-hour days including practice, rehearsals, classes, stretching, and working out.

Initially deeply homesick, Han recreated a sense of family with her fellow Boston Ballet dancers.

Everyone is from all over the world, she says. We are all away from our families. So we get together Ill cook Korean food one night, an Italian dancer will cook Italian food the next night. Its fun.

The life is also exhausting.

You have to remember to smile, even though you are absolutely physically exhausted, she says. Sometimes I see pictures of myself dancing, and I remember how exhausted I was when they took that photo, and I say to myself, I dont remember smiling, but I was.

Learning ballets isnt easy, either.

Its all muscle memory, Han says. Its not about using your brain. Its about teaching your body to remember each move. You cannot rely on your brain in a performance. Your body has to know everything.

So what does Han think about during performances?

Details, she says. Are my feet pointed the right way? Are my hands where they should be? Im always thinking about improving.

This season alone, Hans exacting standards have brought her leading roles in Ivan Likas Le Corsaire, Mikko Nissinens The Nutcracker, William Forsythes Artifact, and now Marius Petipas The Sleeping Beauty.

Its like Giselle, Han says of her Sleeping Beauty character. Aurora changes so much over the course of the ballet that it feels you are dancing multiple roles. In the first act she is young and its very technical. Lots of jumps. In the second act she is more mature, so there is more acting. The third act is more technical again. Its a lot of work to get it right.

Is there one role Han has not yet danced?

Juliet, she says, smiling. I want to know what it feels like to dance the role of Juliet. And she may get her chance as Boston Ballet will present Romeo and Juliet next season (March 15-April 8, 2018).

I know that ballet isnt forever. I dont want to be doing this while I am still 40. This is my time, and I understand the effort it takes. Im happy to do it. Im living my dream, despite the exhaustion and despite living so far from my family. We Facetime all the time. But if its what you want, you pay the price.

Boston Ballet, The Sleeping Beauty, Boston Opera House, now through May 27. For tickets and information, BostonBallet.org.

The Bureau of Land Management last week announced that it is seeking public nominations for open positions on 36 Resource Advisory Councils.The BLM will consider nominations through May 26.

Among groups seeking applicants is the Southeast Oregon Resource Advisory Council, which is made up of 15 citizens representing a wide array of interests, including recreation, commercial timber, mining, transportation, education, environmental groups and the public, at-large.

Members meet three to four times a year at sites across Lake, Vale and Burns BLM districts, familiarizing themselves with issues including wildfire recovery, sage grouse and wild horse management, public land use designations and many other topics. The diverse membership of each RAC helps ensure that BLM land managers receive the varying perspectives they need to achieve their mission of managing the public lands for multiple uses.

The councils are a key component of public land management, said Oregon-Washington BLM State Director Jamie Connell. By ensuring that RAC representation reflects a variety of perspectives, RAC members provide a valuable service to the Bureau by delving into issues and proposing solutions on a wide variety of land and resource uses issues.

There are different positions open in the following categories:

Category One Public land ranchers and representatives of organizations associated with energy and mineral development, the timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, off-highway vehicle use and commercial recreation.

Category Two Representatives of nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and historical organizations, dispersed recreation activities and wild horse and burro organizations.

Category Three Representatives of state, county or local elected offices; representatives and employees of a state agency responsible for the management of natural resources; representatives of Indian tribes within or adjacent to the area for which the RAC is organized; representatives and employees of academic institutions who are involved in natural sciences; and the public, at-large.

The Southeast Oregon RAC has one vacancy in its public-at-large group, and eight seats spanning all interests expiring in early 2018.

Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council.Nominees, must be residents Oregon, and will be reviewed on the basis of their training, education, and knowledge of the councils geographic area.Nominees should also demonstrate a commitment to consensus building and collaborative decision-making. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations, a completed RAC application, and any other information that speaks to the nominees qualifications.

For more information, or to apply, contact Larisa Bogardus, SEO RAC coordinator, 1301 S. G St., Lakeview, OR 97630, (541) 947-6237 or lbogardus@blm.gov; or Greg Shine, BLM Oregon RAC coordinator, (503) 808-6306 or gshine@blm.gov.
