    Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance
    Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

  • TAP INTO HISTORY Study Guide for Educators
    TAP INTO HISTORY Study Guide for Educators Highlights of Tap History: ​ 1600’s: English people migrate to the United States, bringing social dance, waltzes, jigs, reels and clogs. At the same time, Africans come to America (as slaves) and bring percussive, grounded and syncopated rhythms. 1880’s: Vaudeville (a variety entertainment performance circuit) establishes tap as an American art form. 1915: Metal taps are added to shoes. 1930’s-50’s: The era of dance movies starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell, Bill Robinson, Buddy Ebsen, James Cagney, Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, Ann Miller, and others. 1970’s: Dance studios and colleges start teaching tap. Hip hop and other social dance forms eclipse tap’s popularity. 1980’s: The first tap companies are formed, primarily by women, and the first international tap festival takes place in New York City. 1989: Congress establishes National Tap Dance Day to honor Bill “Bojangles” Robinson’s birthday, May 25th. 1990’s: Tap/percussive dance shows such as Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, Stomp and Tap Dogs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ become popular worldwide. Savion Glover becomes the poster child for the genre for his appearances in shows like Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk and on Sesame Street. ​ ​ ​ ​ Present: Many veteran tap dancers pass away, giving rise to a new generation of tap dancers like Michelle Dorrance, Chloe Arnold, and Jason Samuels Smith. Contemporary tap dance pushes the boundaries of the art form beyond just tapping, exploring elements such as storytelling, technology, and fusion with other dance forms. Questions?

  • Artist Bios and Piece Descriptions
    1 PERFORMANCE MIX ARTISTS 2013:BIOGRAPHIES Renée Archibald presents Shake Shake, a duet that brings new life to the old cliché of the dancer’s body as instrument. The work investigates sound as a kinetic sense, with rhythm accumulating and dissolving into sempiternal metabolic process and tumbling into finely-tuned cacophony that animates the performance space with lush visual noise. Shake Shake is performed by Jennifer Lafferty and Renée Archibald. Archibald is currently a third year MFA candidate and Teaching Assistant in The Department of Dance at the University of Illinois. After receiving a BFA from University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Archibald lived in New York City for ten years where she performed with independent artists including Christopher Williams, Ann Liv Young, and Rebecca Lazier. Her choreographic work has been presented at NY venues including The Brooklyn Museum, The Chocolate Factory, Danspace Project, Dance Theater Workshop, and The Kitchen. Archibald has taught at Barnard College and White Mountain Summer Dance Festival and has received choreographic residencies through the Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Movement Research, and Yaddo. In 2012, she was awarded the U of Dance Department's Vannie L. Sheiry Memorial Scholarship for outstanding performance. vimeo.com/reneearchibald Oren Barnoy presents Angels My House I Promise. Barnoy dives into an unknown world of dance while investigating not knowing. This experience of dancing is somewhere between ritual, improvisation, score, therapy, and set choreography. It produces itself. Barnoy showed his choreography between 2000-2004 at Joyce SoHo, PS1, Dancenow, Galapagos, WAX. In 2005, Barnoy took a four year break from dance and moved to Miami.

  • HELLO DOLLY Program Notes.Pdf
    ` PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director When Hello, Dolly! opened on Broadway in January of 1964, the nation was still reeling from the shock of President Kennedy’s assassination and apprehensive about the worsening situation in Vietnam. The Beatles invasion had just begun; a youthful fervor for change and rock ‘n’ roll was palpable. David Merrick, a preternaturally gifted producer, could sense the longing of another American generation. He undoubtedly knew the time was right to provide the comfort and nostalgia of a good old-fashioned Broadway musical. After all, he was in possession of a successful theatrical property that was screaming to be set to music. It could also serve as a star vehicle for Ethel Merman, and it contained a 1890’s period flavor that would offer much-needed diversion from current events. Merrick began assembling a team of future Broadway legends to give music and new life to Thorton Wilder’s highly-successful play The Matchmaker. The title would quickly change to Dolly! A Damned Exasperating Woman; Call on Dolly; and finally to Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired Gower Champion and Michael Stewart, with whom he had previously worked on Carnival!, to stage and adapt the book for what would later be called Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired the young Jerry Herman to compose the music soon after his success penning the score for his first Broadway musical, Milk and Honey. Champion, Stewart, and Herman worked together to anchor the show to the title song and “Put on your Sunday Clothes.” These became massive production numbers, the former involving whirling waiters, trays of food, and Dolly Levi’s grand descent down a flight of stairs.
