His dances em- body the deeply-felt passions of a true master. Rooted in the American experience, he has choreographed a body of work imbued with radiant optimism and poignancy. His appreciation of human wit and heroism in the face of pain and loss, and his faith in redemptive powers of love endow his dances with their originality and dramatic power. Donald McKayle has created a repertory of American dance that instructs the heart. -Inscription on Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award orld-renowned choreographer and UCI Professor of Dance Donald McKayle received the prestigious Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival WAward, “established to honor the great choreographers who have dedicated their lives and talent to the creation of our modern dance heritage,” in 1992. The “Sammy” was awarded to McKayle for a lifetime of performing, teaching and creating American modern dance, an “infinite journey” of both creativity and teaching. Infinite Journey is the title of a concert dance piece McKayle created in 1991 to honor the life of a former student; the title also befits McKayle’s own life. McKayle began his career in New York City, initially studying dance with the New Dance Group and later dancing professionally for noted choreographers such as Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Sophie Maslow, and Anna Sokolow.

  • The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation
    The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild Up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation Immediate Tragedy Inspired by Martha Graham’s lost solo from 1937, this reimagined version will feature 14 dancers and include new music composed by Wild Up’s Christopher Rountree (New York, NY), May 28, 2020—The ongoing collaboration by three major arts organizations— Martha Graham Dance Company, the Los Angeles-based Wild Up music collective, and The Soraya—will continue June 19 with the premiere of a digital dance inspired by archival remnants of Martha Graham’s Immediate Tragedy, a solo she created in 1937 in response to the Spanish Civil War. Graham created the solo in collaboration with composer Henry Cowell, but it was never filmed and has been considered lost for decades. Drawing on the common experience of today’s immediate tragedy – the global pandemic -- the 22 artists creating the project are collaborating from locations across the U.S. and Europe using a variety of technologies to coordinate movement, music, and digital design. The new digital Immediate Tragedy, commissioned by The Soraya, will premiere online Friday, June 19 at 4pm (Pacific)/7pm (EST) during Fridays at 4 on The Soraya Facebook page, and Saturday, June 20 at 11:30am/2:30pm at the Martha Matinee on the Graham Company’s YouTube Channel. In its new iteration, Immediate Tragedy will feature 14 dancers and 6 musicians each recorded from the safety of their homes. Martha Graham Dance Company’s Artistic Director Janet Eilber, in consultation with Rountree and The Soraya’s Executive Director, Thor Steingraber, suggested the long-distance creative process inspired by a cache of recently rediscovered materials—over 30 photos, musical notations, letters and reviews all relating to the 1937 solo.

  • Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World an International Research Conference at Arizona State University
    September –October 2018 Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World an international research conference at Arizona State University celebrating and examining the impact of Jews and the Jewish experience on the dance field and broader communities | 1 Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World welcome Dear Conference Participant: On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to warmly welcome you to Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World, an international conference at Arizona State University (ASU). Organized by the Center for Jewish Studies and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at ASU, the conference and related events celebrate the substantial contribution of Jews to the world of dance as choreographers, dancers, dance educators, scholars and theorists. The conference also critically reflects on how dance expresses the complex, variegated Jewish historical experience as well as on the social and cultural role of dance in Jewish communities all over the world. This international and interdisciplinary conference is truly unique, bridging dance performance, scholarship, education and therapy. The event convenes over 100 dance practitioners and scholars from across the world, representing a wide variety of dance styles, disciplines and religious orientations. Two years in the making, it showcases the pioneering work on Judaism and the arts undertaken by the Center for Jewish Studies led by Dr. Hava Tirosh-Samuelson, Regents’ Professor of History and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. The impetus was the hiring of the world-renowned Jewish choreographer, Liz Lerman, by the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, and my own ongoing scholarship at the intersection of dance and Jewish studies, within the School of Film, Dance and Theatre.

  • African American Philosophy
    African American Dance - Philosophy, Aesthetics, and “Beauty” Thomas F. DeFrantz “A metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, or aesthetics is necessarily distorted by communicative practices which invariably include inherited and privileged structures, forms, assumptions, and codes that remain unstated. The subject, on such accounts, may be considered problematic because the subject may inappropriately present its ideas as ones that surmount the limitations of what it is to be a subject - contextually bounded.” (Harris, 1996: 197) Aesthetics in dance, and especially the terms of “beauty” as they might relate to African American artistry, remain extremely difficult to discuss. How can aesthetic theory be engaged in relation to African American dance practice? What sorts of aesthetic imperatives surround African American dance and how does black performance make sense of these imperatives?” Who names the quality of performance, or who determines that a performance may be accurately recognized as “black? More than this, how can African American dance participate on its own terms in a discourse of “beauty?” This essay offers portions of my current research project to consider the recuperation of “beauty” as a productive critical strategy in discussions of African American dance. I argue that black performance in general, and African American concert dance in particular, seek to create aesthetic sites that allow black Americans to participate in discourses of recognition and appreciation to include concepts of “beauty.” In this, I suggest that “beauty” may indeed produce social change for its attendant audiences. I also propose that interrogating the notion of “beauty” may allow for social change among audiences that include dance theorists and philosophers.
