    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.

  • Glorious Chicago Dancing Festival Wraps up Successful Week Saturday
    DANCE REVIEW The Chicago Dancing Festival **** Glorious Chicago Dancing Festival wraps up successful week Saturday Sid Smith Special to the Tribune August 22, 2009 This year's installment of the Chicago Dancing Festival concludes Saturday with what promises to be a jubilant bang. Works on tap for the free performance at Jay Pritzker Pavilion include a rare Chicago visit by the Houston Ballet (in a classic by William Forsythe), the breathless pas de deux from "Le Corsaire" by dancers with American Ballet Theatre, and the Chicago debut of an all-male spoof troupe called Les Ballets Grandiva in the irresistibly titled "Star Spangled Ballerina." Still, Saturday's menu will be hard-pressed to top the splendor and depth of Thursday's program at the Harris Theater. Though consisting of only six works, the roster offered a remarkable tour of major choreographers of the past 50 years, leading right up to our own time: Jerome Robbins, Jose Limón, Forsythe, Nacho Duato, Christopher Wheeldon and Lar Lubovitch. Sure, there was no George Balanchine, Martha Graham, Paul Taylor or Twyla Tharp. But the engaging lineup -- featuring a wealth of dancers from companies all over the U.S. -- played as a performance seminar on modern choreography. Better yet, it offered up performances so wondrous that it was as much a dancer festival as a choreographic one. At the top was an all-too-rare look at the New York City Ballet great Wendy Whelan in Wheeldon's "After the Rain," a duet he created for her. Quirky, sinewy, enigmatically compelling, Whelan, now in her 40s, glories here in a strange, offbeat piece that telegraphs her sharp, Cubist talents, her odd but seductive presence and her gutsy redefinition of what is meant by ballet beauty.
