Festivities include a star-studded benefit honoring both Olympic Silver Medalist and renowned Ice Artist Paul Wylie and one of America’s brightest choreographers Lar Lubovitch, followed by cocktails, dinner and celebrations at The Lighthouse in Chelsea Piers. “Paul Wylie has been a friend of ITNY for many years,” says Moira North, ITNY’s Artistic Director. “He performed with us at the Opening of the new Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers, and he has been an enthusiastic supporter and friend of ITNY and of the artistic skating movement.” Wylie joins an esteemed list of ITNY honorees including Nancy Kerrigan, Vera Wang, Scott Hamilton, two-time World champion Aja Zanova Steindler, and two-time Olympic gold medalist Dick Button. ITNY will also present a Choreography Award to Lar Lubovitch in recognition of his many works for skaters, from pieces for Paul Wylie, John Curry and Peggy Fleming, to the televised ice ballet, The Planets. The International Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award nominee, choreographer/artistic director Lar Lubovitch is currently touring the country in celebration of his 40th year in the business. “In addition to his work for stage, screen and television, Lubovitch has also made a notable contribution to the advancement of choreography in the field of dance on ice,” explains North. “We applaud the priceless contributions he has made to the ice dance community by presenting him with the ITNY Choreography Award.” The Gala Performance is scheduled to feature Lubovitch’s work, Tilt-a-Whirl. In addition, ITNY will premiere a new work by choreographer Douglas Webster, as well as present selections from ITNY’s existing repertory, including La Revolte des Enfants by Alberto del Saz, 2:1 by David Liu, The Dreame by Jacqulyn Buglisi, and Draughtsman’s Contract by Elisa Monte. All of the evening’s proceeds will support ITNY’s New Works and Young Artists Series, an outreach program for public school children in Manhattan and Queens, as well as all of our 2009- 2010 season's artistic programming. Winding up the night will be the presentation of the Ice Angel Award to Chelsea Pier’s Sky Rink in honor of the venue’s long-time support of both ITNY and the art of dance on ice. About Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) Founded in 1984 by Moira North, Ice Theatre of New York seeks to change the face of figure skating by creating works that integrate the sensibilities of contemporary dance, music and art. Through its performances in both traditional and alternative venues, ITNY presents on-ice dances that challenge the perceptions and conventional definitions of figure skating. ITNY was the first ice dance company to receive dance program funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. In addition to building and performing works of artistic merit, ITNY also reaches out to the next generation of skaters and audiences through its exemplary education, community outreach and training programs. "Since its establishment in 1984, the Ice Theatre of New York has combined the best of ice skating, dance and theater to create cutting edge performances that represent the very best New York's creative community has to offer." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg As the company begins its new season, ITNY will continue its tradition of collaborating with choreographers from both the dance and skating worlds, as well as exploring relationships with artists from theatre, music and new media disciplines. 2009-2010 season highlights include: free performances as part of the City Center Ice Concert Series at Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park and Queen’s World Ice Arena; New Works & Young Artists Series at both Riverbank State Park and Queen’s World Ice Arena to serve city school children; special holiday performances at Wollman Rink, Rockefeller Center, Riverbank State Park, Bryant Park, Chelsea Piers, Winter Festival in Milford, PA, to name a few; and ITNY’s 2010 Home Season at Chelsea Piers (May ’10). http://www.icetheatre.org. # # # .

  • Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: the Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin
    Andrée Grau: Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Andrée Grau Roehampton University, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I address a number of topics relevant to anthropology generally and to the anthropology of dance specifically. I consider issues of classification and taxonomies; of interculturalism and transnationalism; of representation, exoticisation and internalised racism. I examine dance, hierarchies and discrimination, and discuss boundaries between dance and non-dance. For example, dance scholars, with a few exceptions, rarely write about figure skating, although it is cognate to Western theatre dance genres, especially ballet. Figure skating is sport, even in its ice dancing incarnation, whilst dance is art even in its ballet competition incarnations. I use as a case study the Russian skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, who choreographed an ‘Australian Aboriginal Dance’ for their original routine for the 2010 European skating championships and Olympics. This offended Aboriginal elders who made a complaint to the Russian ambassador. I examine the controversy around the routine, how it was reported in the press and how the audience responded in Internet forums, focusing especially on the way Australian Aborigines con- tinue to be portrayed as stone age in popular media. KEY WORDS: aesthetics, Australian Aborigines, ballet, Internet forums, dance, ice ska- ting, taxonomies Introduction One of the premises of the anthropology of dance, is that the term ‘dance’ is problematic as it carries preconceptions of what this activity engages with, which is rooted into a Western way of understanding the body in space and time, situating it in a particular relationship to a soundscape.

    Curry, John (1949-1994) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com John Curry's combination of athleticism and grace brought him enormous success in figure skating. A five- time champion in his native Britain, he also won gold medals in world and Olympic competition. Although it was a potentially career-destroying move, Curry came out publicly as a gay man before the 1976 Winter Olympics, becoming one of the very few elite athletes to come out while still competing. Throughout his career, he consistently spoke candidly about his sexual orientation. Curry was born September 9, 1949 in Birmingham, England, where his father was an engineer and factory- owner. As a small child Curry became fascinated with dance, but his father considered dancing inappropriate for boys and firmly vetoed the idea of dance lessons. He did, however, allow young Curry to take up figure skating at age seven. With his natural aptitude and dedication, Curry won his first competition a year later. He continued to have success and went on to win the British junior title in 1967. Although Curry's father had agreed to let the boy become a figure skater, he showed little enthusiasm for his son's athletic endeavors. Only twice did he see Curry skate. After his father's death, Curry, then sixteen, moved to London, where he began taking the long-denied dance lessons and worked part-time to eke out enough money to pay for coaching for his skating. Curry placed second in the 1968 and 1969 British championships and won the first of his five national titles in 1970.
