  • Choreographer Oona Doherty on Dancing Into Motherhood | Financial Times
    4/1/2021 Choreographer Oona Doherty on dancing into motherhood | Financial Times Dance Choreographer Oona Doherty on dancing into motherhood A new generation of dancers are bringing their pregnancies into performances Laura Cappelle 9 HOURS AGO Pregnant or not, the Northern Irish choreographer Oona Doherty isn’t one to sway gently under soft lighting. In The Devil, a dance film she made with Luca Truffarelli for New York’s Irish Arts Center, she gets chased, killed and tied up — before emerging naked from a literal bloodbath. “I was trying to figure out how to do a pregnancy dance film that’s not cliché, and I just had this taste for blood,” Doherty says over Zoom from her home in Bangor, near Belfast. She was eight months pregnant when she filmed The Devil; now, her nine- week-old daughter Rosaria is in the next room. The plain-spoken 35-year-old may be one of the few dancer-choreographers to have relished the pandemic. Doherty has been in high demand since the success of 2017’s Hard to Be Soft: A Belfast Prayer and The Ascension Into Lazarus, both visceral explorations of working-class masculinity (and femininity, too). Yet life on tour proved lonely. “I started to have a little bit of a nervous breakdown,” she says. “I needed a break.” https://www.ft.com/content/c43c420e-501f-400e-9a81-f444b1b9d86d 1/8 4/1/2021 Choreographer Oona Doherty on dancing into motherhood | Financial Times Oona Doherty performing last year © Jane Hobson/Shutterstock Doherty got her wish, and then some. Described by her as a “transition film”, The Devil is a still-rare example of a visibly pregnant performer in the spotlight.

  • Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan
    Presents RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN 2016 - USA - 90 MINUTES - IN ENGLISH A FILM BY LINDA SAFFIRE, ADAM SCHLESINGER Distributed in Canada by Films We Like Bookings and General Inquries: mike@filmswelike.com Publicity and Media: mallory@filmswelike.com SYNOPSIS RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN offers an intimate portrait of prima ballerina Wendy Whelan as she prepares to leave New York City Ballet after a record-setting three decades with the company. One of the modern era’s most acclaimed dancers, Whelan was a principal ballerina for NYCB and, over the course of her celebrated career, danced numerous ballets by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, as well as new works by more modern standout choreographers like Christopher Wheeldon and Alexei Ratmansky; many roles were made specifically for Whelan. As the film opens, Whelan is 46, battling a painful injury that has kept her from the ballet stage, and facing the prospect of her impending retirement from the company. What we see, as we journey with her, is a woman of tremendous strength, resilience and good humor. We watch Whelan brave the surgery that she hopes will enable her comeback to NYCB and we watch her begin to explore the world of contemporary dance, as she steps outside the traditionally patriarchal world of ballet to create Restless Creature, a collection of four contemporary vignettes forged in collaboration with four young choreographers. Throughout Linda Saffire and Adam Schlesinger’s riveting documentary, we watch Whelan grapple with questions of her own identity and worth. Historical footage shows her dancing as a very young girl in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, then as a teenager on her own in New York and, finally, as a rising ballerina with the company.

  • DANCE for a CITY: FIFTY YEARS of the NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999
    DANCE FOR A CITY: FIFTY YEARS OF THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999 The labels, wall texts, and reflections complement the volume Dance for a City: Fifty Years of the New York City Ballet published by Columbia University Press in 1999. Edited by Lynn Garafola, with Eric Foner, and including essays by Thomas Bender, Sally Banes, Charles M. Joseph, Richard Sennett, Jonathan Weinberg, and Nancy Reynolds, the book, unlike most exhibition catalogues, does not include a checklist. In revisiting this material, I wanted to evoke the experience of walking through six large galleries on the ground floor of the New-York Historical Society, with the reader enjoying by suggestion and as an act of imagination the numerous objects on display tracing the long history of the New York City Ballet. As I prepare this for publication on the Columbia University Academic Commons nearly two decades after the exhibition was dismantled, I thank once again the many lenders who made it possible. I also remain deeply grateful to the exhibition designer, Stephen Saitas, for his guidance and for creating an installation of haunting beauty.—Lynn Garafola Introductory Text Founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, the New York City Ballet is universally recognized as one of the world's outstanding dance companies. This exhibition traces its development both as an artistic and social entity. The story begins with the fateful encounter of the two men in 1933, when Kirstein, an arts maverick and patron extraordinaire, invited the twenty-nine-year-old Russian-born choreographer to establish a company and a school in the United States.

    Michayla Kelly March 5, 2018 Julia Rogers Prize: Research Strategy Re: The Fundamental Shared Essence of Dance and Mathematics As a senior, I have a single room for the first time. Resultantly, I have comfortably done the majority of my homework in my room, as opposed to studying primarily in the library as I did for the first three years of college. However, perhaps in an attempt by the universe to maintain balance, last semester I ended up taking out far more books from the library than ever before. Although I was spending less hours in the library, the stacks of library books in my dorm would have hinted otherwise. My dance capstone course required me to conduct a semester-long research project, and I chose to explore what I have always believed on an intuitive level – that there are great similarities between mathematics and dance. This belief is what led me to double major in Mathematics and Dance, a combination which always seems to take people by surprise. The capstone project was a chance for me to research in depth the fundamental similarities between the fields and then present my findings. Goucher’s library offered me the chance to consult with the masters of each field and bring them into my internal discussion. I scoured the aisles shelving books on dance pedagogy, dance anthropology, Marius Petipa, group theory, and abstract algebra. Through the online database, I also found relevant and interesting sources, including a 1920s magazine article that called the mathematical area of group theory a manifestation of a “deep human yearning.” It was quotes like these that inspired me to dig deeper, to learn more, and to make more connections.
