  • NEWS from the JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 7, NO. 1 (2020) 75Th Anniversary Gala of New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ Jerome Robbins Dance Division
    NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 7, NO. 1 (2020) 75th Anniversary Gala of New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ Jerome Robbins Dance Division On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts celebrated the Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th anniversary with a unique gala that raised more than $723,000 in critical funds that will help the division document, collect, and preserve the history of dance and provide free services and programs for all. More than 200 dance-loving attendees moved through the Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center viewing site-specific movement pieces cre- ated specifically for the occasion by Ephrat Asherie, The Bang Group, Jean Butler, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Heidi Latsky, Michelle Manzanales, Rajika Puri, and Pam Tanowitz. Staged in unexpected spaces (among the stacks, on reading room tables, through hallways, and on stairways), these brief performances fea- tured dancers including Chelsea Ainsworth, Chris Bloom, Jason Collins, Shelby Colona, Lindsey Jones, Jeffrey Kazin, Victor Lozano, Aishwarya Madhav, Georgina Pazcoguin, Nic Petry, Jaclyn Rea, Tommy Seibold, Amber Sloan, Gretchen Smith, Leslie Taub, Melissa Toogood, and Peter Trojic. The evening’s performances culminated in the Library’s Bruno Walter Auditorium with an excerpt from Jerome Robbins’ Other Dances, featuring American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Sarah Lane and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Gonzalo Garcia. Jerome Robbins originally created the work in 1976 for a fundraiser to support the Library. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th Anniversary Gala was chaired by Caroline Cronson & The Jerome Robbins Foundation.

  • Ratmansky's Sly History Lessons
    1/20/2016 Ratmansky’s Sly History Lessons | WENDY PERRON RATMANSKY’S SLY HISTORY LESSONS Embedded in Alexei Ratmansky’s ballets are history lessons for us. When watching American Ballet Theatre dance his Shostakovich Trilogy (2012), I saw a keen attention to shape, a gravitas in the surging masses, that reminded of Léonide Massine’s symphonic ballets. Massine was the top choreographer of the 1930s but is now all but forgotten. (More about Massine later.) Sprinkling References to the Past If you watch Ratmansky’s ballets closely, you’ll see images of previous ballets tucked into his choreography. In Pictures at an Exhibition, which he made for NYC Ballet last year, the first scene borrows the formation of the nine goons (drinking companions) of Balanchine’s Prodigal Son. And later the dancer in yellow, a role created by Wendy Whelan, quietly touches the floor. It calls to mind the end of Jerome Robbins’ Dances at a Gathering when the man in brown touches the floor, letting us feel that all the dancers are a community standing on one ground. Whelan also stoops to the floor in Ratmansky’s 2006 Russian Seasons, so that gesture was some kind of farewell to her on that stage. (By the way, in this clip Amar Ramasar, who is terrific in Pictures, talks about http://wendyperron.com/ratmanskys-sly-history-lessons/ 1/8 1/20/20R16amasar, who is terrific in PRaitmcatnuskyr’se Ssly, H tisatorlyk Lses soansb | WoEuNtDY PERRON the choreographer’s impetus.) Ratmansky’s Pictures at an Exhibition for NYCB with Gonzalo Garcia, homepage photo of Adrian Danchig-Waring and Wendy Whelan, photos by Paul Kolnik In Ratmansky’s Cinderella (2002), which the Mariinsky brought to BAM last month, there’s a moment in the first act when the stepmother and stepsisters, during their slapstick “dancing lesson,” land on the floor in the final position of Fokine’s Dying Swan.

  • New York City Ballet George Balanchine's the Nutcracker
    GREAT AMERICAN DANCE LEARNING GUIDES Lincoln Center Education NEW YORK CITY BALLET GEORGE BALANCHINE’S THE NUTCRACKER™ GRADES 3-5 Photo Credit: Paul Kolnik NEW YORK CITY BALLET GEORGE BALANCHINE’S THE NUTCRACKER™ GRADES 3-5 INTRODUCTION Great American Dance Learning Guide The goal of the Great American Dance Learning Guide is to help students engage fully with the dance performances featured in the Lincoln Center at the Movies inaugural season. It is suitable for those who are already dance lovers and those who have no previous dance experience. Each guide enables educators to engage students in experiencing the thrill of the artistic process, and in understanding how artists think as they develop their work, how they face artistic challenges and make important choices before they present the world with their creations. The guide has been created by LCE Teaching Artists who work in pre-K–12 and Higher Education classrooms throughout New York City and the tristate area, and are mindful of the learner of any age. In the guide, you will find information about dance and different takes on the performances in film, books, and other media. There are three lessons with activities and discussion questions that prepare students for the performance they will see on film, and a lesson that makes them reflect on the performance with a wholly different point of view after they’ve seen it. These lessons are flexible, so teachers can adapt them to specific grade levels and student populations in-school and out-of-school. Most important, the lessons have been designed for anyone curious about the art of dance.

  • Review: Taylor Stanley Rises in City Ballet's 'Hallelujah Junction'
    Review: Taylor Stanley Rises in City Ballet’s ‘Hallelujah Junction’ By GIA KOURLAS MAY 18, 2016 Taylor Stanley of New York City Ballet dancing “Hallelujah Junction.” CreditPaul Kolnik Peter Martins, the ballet master in chief of New York City Ballet, loves to give his dancers happy surprises. On Tuesday evening, moments before the curtain rose on “Hallelujah Junction,” Mr. Martins’s brisk, galvanic work set to John Adams, he promoted Taylor Stanley, one of its leads, to principal dancer. Filling in at the last minute for an injured Gonzalo Garcia, Mr. Stanley was making his New York debut in the role, at the David H. Koch Theater. Mr. Martins’s decision was spontaneous, a City Ballet publicist said. But it makes sense: The debonair Mr. Stanley has an affinity for speed and drama and has been frequently featured in the ballets of Justin Peck, the company’s resident choreographer. His sharp attack was apparent in “Hallelujah”; later that night, in “Western Symphony,” George Balanchine’s 1954 homage to the Wild West, he showed some spunk, loosening up to find the cowboy within. In that ballet, which remains a delight, Brittany Pollack made her debut in the second movement opposite Jared Angle, gamely leaping headfirst into his arms with little fear and an ever-gleaming smile. (Her perpetually happy expression can seem one-note.) In the final movement, the willowy Teresa Reichlen, though she faltered uncharacteristically in her fouetté turns, and a devilish Andrew Veyette imbued their frisky pas de deux with a spirit that showed they weren’t just executing moves, but reacting to each other.
