The Russian companies created a taste for ballet that coincided with the development of a more professional form of teaching. For the next thirty years dance was synonymous with ballet in a community far removed from the centres in which contemporary dance was burgeoning. But this concentra­ tion paid dividends. Thanks to a remarkable group of teachers, the city saw locally trained dancers performing with visiting ballet companies. Vancouver acquired a reputation as a cradle of dancers and changed from being the passive importer of dance to become an active exporter of dancers. Many cities were visited by touring dance companies but few were as effective as Vancouver in swelling the ranks of these guests. Any account of the early touring that gave the city its first sight of great dancers will inevitably be episodic. La Loie Fuller came in 1896; Pavlova visited Vancouver on four occasions between 191 o and 192 3; Adeline Genee Panto Pacific Ballet 194 9 danced at the Imperial Theatre in 1913; the Ballet Russe appeared first as a pirate company in 1911, and then early 'We stayed at little towns in Canada; at Vancouver among in 1917 as Diaghilev's original, if depleted, company other places.' Anna Pavlova, Pages of My Life (1913). headed by Nijinsky. Finally the city's most frequent visitors were the Denishawn companies who appeared mainly on 'Most northern people make ·good dancers ... you are the vaudeville circuits between 1914 and 1924. These almost .as far north as we are.' Leonide Massine to a visits occurred in a growing city with a heavy diet of Vancouver reporter, January 1940. imported entertainment. It is unlikely that if anyone had happened to observe all these performances he would have isolated such fleeting theatrical events and discerned any Dance may be an art as old as man, but as a performing art pattern in them. Compared with the dancers he could have in North America it is still very young. In the 19th century seen in vaudeville, or in minstrel companies or operettas, the continent's northeastern seaboard saw only a series of the visiting performers would have been a revelation. But isolated highlights: Fanny Elssler's visit; the Italian would he, for example, have distinguished ballet from ballerinas of The Black Crook; the famed Cavalazzi at the Denishawn's theatrical dancing?

  • Passing of Lawrence Rhodes

    Passing of Lawrence Rhodes

    PASSING OF LAWRENCE RHODES Montreal, March 29, 2019 – It was with enormous sadness that Les Grands Ballets learned last night of the death of Lawrence Rhodes (1939-2019), artistic director of the company from 1989 to 1999. A native of Mount Hope, West Virginia, he danced with several companies (including Ballet russe de Monte-Carlo, Robert Joffrey Ballet, Harkness Ballet, Het National Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet). He could be seen dancing with Les Grands Ballets in 1977, before his appointment as artistic director in 1989, a position he filled for ten years. His desire at the time was to “combine the classical-ballet tradition with the renewal of choreographic language.”1 Under his direction, Les Grands Ballets opened up to new esthetic streams, for the first time inviting to the company some of the greatest choreographers of the day: Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, William Forsythe and Montrealer Édouard Lock, among them. “Larry was generous and fair,” remembers Pierre Lapointe, principal ballet master at Les Grands Ballets since 1989. “He had a teaching and dance style that allowed for great freedom. His favorite sentence was ‘Just do it.’” From 2002 to 2017, Lawrence Rhodes served as artistic director of the Dance Division at New York’s prestigious Juilliard School. Les Grands Ballets wishes to offer its sincere condolences to Lawrence Rhodes’s relatives, friends and collaborators, as well as to the entire dance community, who are losing in him a dancer, an artistic director and a teacher who left his mark on his time. With his leaving, a page in Grands Ballets history is turning as well.

Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

    Cultural Diplomacy and Nation-Building in Cold War Canada, 1945-1967 by Kailey Miller a Thesis Submitt

    'An Ancillary Weapon’: Cultural Diplomacy and Nation-building in Cold War Canada, 1945-1967 by Kailey Miller A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright ©Kailey Miller, 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Canada’s cultural approaches toward the Communist world – particularly in the performing arts – and the ways in which the public and private sectors sought to develop Canada’s identity during the Cold War. The first chapter examines how the defection of Igor Gouzenko in 1945 framed the Canadian state’s approach to the security aspects of cultural exchanges with the Soviet Union. Chapters 2 to 4 analyse the socio-economic, political, and international context that shaped Canada's music, classical theatre, and ballet exchanges with communist countries. The final chapter explores Expo ’67’s World Festival of Arts and Entertainment as a significant moment in international and domestic cultural relations. I contend that although focused abroad, Canada’s cultural initiatives served a nation-building purpose at home. For practitioners of Canadian cultural diplomacy, domestic audiences were just as, if not more, important as foreign audiences. ii Acknowledgements My supervisor, Ian McKay, has been an unfailing source of guidance during this process. I could not have done this without him. Thank you, Ian, for teaching me how to be a better writer, editor, and researcher. I only hope I can be half the scholar you are one day. A big thank you to my committee, Karen Dubinsky, Jeffrey Brison, Lynda Jessup, and Robert Teigrob.

Swanilda suspects her fiance, Frantz, of harboring a secret love for Coppelia. The burgermeister announces that tomorrow he will distribute dowries to the engaged couples of the village and urges Swanilda to wed Frantz. But possessed by jealousy, Swanilda breaks off the engagement. Night falls and the crowd disperses. As Coppelius leaves his house, he is jostled by a group of young men and drops his key. Swanilda finds the key and enters the forbidden house with her friends. Frantz, too, is attempting to enter the house when Coppelius returns unexpectedly. Act II Coppelius' workshop peopled with curious figures The young women overcome their initial timidity and boldly make their way through the house. Swanilda quickly discovers to her joy that Coppelia is only a mechanical doll. At this point, Coppelius suddenly appears and chases out the intruders, all but Swanilda who, hidden behind the curtain, takes the place of Coppelia. Coming upon Frantz, who has finally gotten into the house, Coppelius makes him drink a potion intended to pull the young man's vital force from his body and transfer it to the doll.
