    Todd Bolender and Janet Reed Were Dancing in Pied Piper When It Hap- Pened, One of Those Unforeseen Stage Mishaps That Can Wreck a Performance Completely

    1 Todd Bolender and Janet Reed were dancing in Pied Piper when it hap- pened, one of those unforeseen stage mishaps that can wreck a performance completely. Set to Aaron Copland’s jazzy Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra, Pied Piper was Jerome Robbins’s fourth work for New York City Ballet. Its vocabulary was in the same vein as Fancy Free and Interplay, a blend of classical steps, modern dance, and social dancing. For the finale, he included a jitterbug move, in which Bolender had to swing Reed over his head and around his neck, her legs in a wide second position, and from there to the floor directly in front of him. In the early 1950s, when this per- formance took place, Bolender had begun wearing a wig over his thinning hair that fit over his scalp like a hat. At this particular performance, all was going well, until Bolender, after swinging Reed down to the floor, looked down and thought, “My God, has she lost her tights” at the same moment that Reed looked in the same direction. They both broke into uncontrol- lable laughter, fortunately just as the corps came rushing onto the stage and covered their hasty exit, Bolender’s much-loathed wig (“it had curls and things,” he told Deborah Jowitt) restored to his head.1 By 1952, when it’s likely this performance took place,2 Bolender and Reed had been friends since Reed arrived in New York in January 1942. They had been dancing together in Robbins’s and Balanchine’s work since 1949, when Reed joined City Ballet.

    Dancin' in the Rain

    Dancin’ in the Rain A Bit of Portland Dance History – 1900 to 1954 By Carol Shults and Martha Ullman West hen Bill Christensen arrived in Portland in 1932 he created an atmosphere that had not existed before here. Until then, dancing, except for ballroom dance, was an almost exclusively “ladies only” territory. W It was long since respectable, but the energy, channeled into the “artistic” recitals presented by various teachers and their students was distinctly feminine. Portland had seen the American Ted Shawn and the Russian Mikhail Mordkin on the stage, but a local equivalent just didn’t exist. Bill Christensen filled that gap. By 1934, after just two years of attracting supporters and training dancers, he was able to present a spectacle including portions of The Nutcracker at the Rose Festival in collaboration with the Portland Junior Symphony (the original incarnation of today’s Youth Philharmonic). Bill was just 30 years old when he came here after years of touring with his brothers and several partners on the Orpheum vaudeville circuit. Dancing of all kinds, but with a serious emphasis on the classical, was his heritage from the Danish progenitor Lars Christensen who had emigrated to Utah in 1854. Bill was married and the Depression was on. “Nobody had a dime.” Mary Tooze, one of Bill’s students, describes how her mother Ada Ausplund threw herself into supporting Christensen because “here was this wonderful, positive thing for young Pictured left to right in The Nutcracker (1934) people to do.” The effort it took to transport 70 Standing: Norma Nielsen, Willam Christensen, Geraldine Brown, dancers to Seattle for performances there gives an Jacques Gershkovitch (conductor), Hinemoa Cloninger, Betty Dodson idea of the motivating force Bill provided.
