American Ballet Theatre Casting and Programming Announced Featuring Works by Marius Petipa, Antony Tudor, and Twyla Tharp View in browser 50 E Ida B Wells Dr Lily Oberman Chicago, IL 60605 Auditorium Theatre AuditoriumTheatre.org 312.341.2331 (office) | 973.699.5312 (cell) [email protected] Release date: November 13, 2019 CASTING AND PROGRAMMING ANNOUNCED FOR AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE’S SPRING ENGAGEMENT MARCH 19-22, 2020 AT THE AUDITORIUM THEATRE (CHICAGO, IL) The Auditorium Theatre and American Ballet Theatre (ABT) have announced casting and programming for ABT’s March 2020 performances in Chicago, the second in its four- year residency at the National Historic Landmark. ABT’s mixed repertory program at the Auditorium features the “Kingdom of the Shades” scene from Act II of Natalia Makarova’s production of Marius Petipa’s classic ballet La Bayadère, Antony Tudor’s one-act ballet Jardin aux Lilas, and Twyla Tharp’s Deuce Coupe, which had its world premiere at the Auditorium Theatre in 1973. ABT’s mixed repertory program replaces the originally scheduled full-length La Bayadère. The breathtaking “Kingdom of the Shades” scene from Marius Petipa’s La Bayadère, restaged by Makarova, opens the program. After the warrior Solor loses his love Nikiya to a deadly snake bite, he hallucinates their reunion in the Kingdom of the Shades, an elaborate scene that features 24 ballerinas dancing in perfect unison. The scene is considered “one of the most famous and poetic expressions in all of classical ballet” (The Washington Post). Jardin aux Lilas, by ABT founding choreographer Antony Tudor, follows the story of Caroline, a woman attending a party thrown in honor of her wedding. At the party, both Caroline and her future husband – who are marrying for convenience – bid farewell to their former lovers. Tudor’s choreography, called “a masterwork of contemporary ballet” (The New York Times) explores human relationships with great subtlety, using quick gestures and movements to convey grand emotions. Twyla Tharp’s Deuce Coupe, set to music by The Beach Boys, juxtaposes ballet movement with contemporary dance, creating a singular theatrical piece of dynamic spontaneity that contrasts classical ballet vocabulary with the playful sounds of the 1960s and 70s. The work was originally created for The Joffrey Ballet and premiered at the Auditorium Theatre in 1973, and ABT introduced the piece into its repertoire in May 2019. Deuce Coupe “melds styles, but never loses its underlying groove. It’s wild and reckless, elegant and refined” (The New York Times).

  • Nicolle Greenhood Major Paper FINAL.Pdf (4.901Mb)
    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.
