PHILIP MORRIS Mark Morris Dance Group New Works Fund is sponsored by COMPANIES INC

MAR K MD R R I S was born on August 29, 1956 in Seattle, Washington, where he studied as a young man with Verla Flowers and Perry Brunson. He perfarmed with a variety of companies in the early years of his career, including the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, Hannah Kahn Dance Company, Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, Eliot Feld Ballet, and the Koleda Balkan Dance Ensemble. He formed the Mark Morris Dance Group in 1980, and has since created over 90 works for the Dance Group, as well as choreographing dances for many ballet companies, including the San Francisco Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet, and American Ballet Theatre. From 1988-1991 he was Director of Dance at the Theatre Royal de in Brussels, the national opera house of Belgium . During his tenure there, he created 12 pieces including three evening-length works: The Hard Nut (his comic book-inspired version of The Nutcracke~ ; L'Allegro, if Penseroso ed if Moderato; and Dido and kneas, and founded the White Ook Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Mr. Morris is noted for his musicality - he has been described as " undeviating in his devotion to music" - and for his "ability to conjure so many contradictory styles and emotions." He has worked extensively in opera as both a choreographer and a director. Most recently, he directed and choreographed a Royal Opera, Covent Garden production of Rameau's pfatee which premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1997. Mr. Morris was named a Fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991 , and he is the subject of a biography by Joan Acocella (Farrar, Straus & Giroux).

MAR K MD R R I S DAN GE GR D U P was formed in 1980 and gave its first concert that year in . In the following years, the company's touring schedule steadily expanded to include cities both in the U.S. and in Europe and, in 1986, the Dance Group made its first national television program for the PBS Dance in America series. In 1988, the Mark Morris Dance Group was invited to become the national dance company of Belgium. During its three years as resident company of the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the Dance Group was the subject of several television programs, including the U.K.'s South Bank Show. The company returned to the in 1991 , as one of the world's leading dance companies, performing across the U.S. and at major international festivals . The Dance Group has maintained and strengthened its ties to several cities around the world - audiences have become accustomed to the Dance Group's regular and frequent appearances in , MA; Berkeley, CA; at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival and the Edinburgh International Festival in Scotland . In addition to a full international touring schedule, the Dance Group has recently completed two film projects: a collaboration with cellist Yo-Yo Ma entitled Falling Down Stairs using Bach's Third Suite for unaccompanied cello, and a film version of Mr. Morris' Dido and kneas. The company's British premiere performances of L'Allegro, if Penseroso ed if Moderato with the English National Opera garnered the Dance Group the 1997 Laurence Olivier Aword for Best New Dance Production . YD - YD MA was barn in 1955 af Chinese parents living in Paris . He began studying cello with his father at age four and soon moved with his family to New York, where he spent most of his formative years. Mr. Ma maintains a balance between his engagements as a soloist with orchestras throughout the world and his recital and chamber music activities. He draws inspiration from a wide circle of collaborators, creating programs with such artists as Emanuel Ax, Daniel Barenboim, Christoph Eschenbach, Pamela Frank, Jeffrey Kahane, Young Uck Kim , Jaime Laredo, Bobby McFerrin, Edgar Meyer, Mark O 'Connor, Peter Serkin, Isaac Stern, Richard Stoltzman and Kathryn Stott. Mr. Ma also works frequently with artists from disciplines outside of music . One such multi-year project is his recent re-exploration of J,S . Bach's Suites for unaccompanied cello, through concert performances of the cycle in numerous cities, a new recording of the works and, most notably, a series of films under the title Inspired by Bach . The si x films - one for eoch suite - use Bach's music as the starting point for new col­ laborative works and depict the creative process that produced the interpretations of Mr. Ma and his fellow artists (choreographer Mark Morris, Kabuki artist Tamasaburo, ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, garden designer Julie Moir Messervy and such filmmakers at Atom Egoyan and Franyois Girard) . Mr. Ma is an exclusive Sony Classical artist, and his discography of nearly 50 albums (including 12 Grammy winners) reflects his wide-ranging interests. In addition to the standard concerto repertoire, Mr. Ma has recorded many of the works he has commissioned or premiered. He has also made several successful "crossover" recordings that defy categorization, among them "Hush " with Bobby McFerrin, "Appalachia Waltz" with Mark O 'Connor and Edgar Meyer, and "Piazzolla: Soul of the Tango ." Mr. Ma has studied at the Juilliard School and received his B.A. from Harvard University.
