    9/5/2011-4/21/2012. Letters from a Danceaturg. Neil Baldwin to Lori Katterhenry. No.1 - September 5, 2011 Dear Lori: I am grateful to Ryoko Kudo, Maxine Steinman and our MSU dancers for opening the doors to the studio in Life Hall last week and welcoming me to sit in on three sessions of the setting of excerpts from There is a Time (1956) by Jose Limon. They worked on “Opening Circle,” “Plant and Reap,” “Mourn,” “Laugh and Dance,” and “Hate & War.” Reviewing and editing my on-site notes, I recalled a helpful observation by Doris Humphrey in The Art of Making Dances with regard to this work. She writes, “There is a Time states its thematic material in the opening section and builds all the rest of its many parts on variations of the same movements. Unfortunately, this escapes most people; what they see is a suite form, contrasted ideas of dramatic or lyric significance. This is because the eye is not sufficiently trained to remember movement themes, and will usually miss them completely.” Indeed, the fact that the original title of There is a Time was Variations on a Theme came through powerfully during these sessions. Ryoko’s precisely-planned and at the same time intuitively- executed method was the embodiment of Limon’s preliminary concept notes for the dance, when he said that “the community…form[s] a very close circle which pulsates symbolizing an ovum or womb in travail…[T]he large circle…symbolize[s] time – the great continuity – eternal, unbroken…without hurry and without end.” I was also mindful of a point that Carla Maxwell made in an interview with The New York Times ten years ago about classic modern dance: “What's indispensable is a consistent point of view that relates to the times,'' she said.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.
