Paul Dandridge (3/27) Benjamin Warner (3/28) Swan Lake, the last of the great 19th-century Russian ballet, is a work of emotional intensity, inventive choreography and glorious music—a lyrical and moving musical/ psychological dance drama . Although Swan Lake was also the last of the famed Tchaikovsky- Petipa-Ivanov ballets, it was actually the composer’s first ballet score . The première of the ballet in the form that we know it today was on January 27, 1895 . Among the great ballerinas who have interpreted the role of the Swan Queen are Anna Pavlova, Maya Plisetskaya, Margot Fonteyn, Maria Tallchief, Natalia Makarova, Cynthia Gregory, and Darci Kistler . An abbreviated Swan Lake was first performed in the United States in 1911 at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City . The first full-length American production was presented by the San Francisco Ballet in 1940 . Today, Swan Lake is danced by major companies around the world . Many productions of the ballet exist (in one-, two-, and four-act versions), most influenced by the Ivanov-Petipa work . The Choreographers Cynthia Gregory, Swan Lake (Act II, Act IV, Black Swan Pas de Deux). Cynthia Gregory, whom Nureyev called “America’s prima ballerina assoluta,” was celebrated as one of the world’s greatest ballerinas during a career that spanned more than a quarter of a century . Much of Gregory’s early training was in her native Los Angeles with Carmelita Maracci. Awarded a Ford Foundation scholarship at age 14 to study with the San Francisco Ballet, she quickly rose to soloist and became a principal dancer shortly thereafter, while also dancing with the San Francisco Opera. Gregory joined American Ballet Theatre (ABT) in 1965.

The debut film by acclaimed photographer Gwendolen Cates, WATER FLOWING TOGETHER will have its broadcast premiere on the Emmy Award–winning PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Terrence Howard, on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, at 10:00 PM (check local listings). Called “one of ballet’s most creative personalities” by New York Times dance critic Anna Kisselgoff, Soto graced the stage of the New York State Theater for an amazing 24 years, partnering with such great ballerinas as Heather Watts, Darci Kistler and Wendy Whelan. When we meet Soto in WATER FLOWING TOGETHER, he is 40 and facing the daunting prospect of retiring from the only life he has ever known or desired. Soto was born on the Navajo Indian reservation in 1965, to a Navajo mother and a Puerto Rican father. And at that time and in that place, ballet dancing for boys was virtually unheard of.

  • Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief
    Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief (later changed to Tallchief) was born in Oklahoma in 1925. Her father was Osage Native American and her mother of Scotch-Irish descent. It had been an unrealized dream of her mom to study dance and music, so Maria and her sister Marjorie were enrolled early in dance and piano lessons. Maria was only three years old when she began dance classes. It wasn’t long before Maria and Marjorie were performing at local rodeos. When she was eight, Maria’s family moved to California with the hope finding an opportunity for the girls in show business. Her mother asked a pharmacist for a recommendation for a dance teacher and was referred to Ernest Belcher, who was Marge Champion’s father. Maria soon moved on to more noted classical teachers of dance, but was also continuing to study piano and saw herself as having a career as a classical pianist. However, she continued with dance and at 17 went to New York looking for a way into the classical world of dance. Tallchief was soon offered a place with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo where she performed for five years. It was there that she met George Balanchine. She eventually married Balanchine and returned to New York. Balanchine had just founded the New York City Ballet and Maria became its first prima ballerina. She was the first American woman and the first Native American to be recognized world wide as a prima ballerina. She was the first American invited to dance with the Bolshoi.
