  • The Nineteenth-Century Russian Gypsy Choir and the Performance of Otherness
    The Nineteenth-Century Russian Gypsy Choir and the Performance of Otherness Erik R. Scott Summer 2008 Erik R. Scott is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History, at the University of California, Berkeley Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Victoria Frede and my fellow graduate students in her seminar on Imperial Russian History. Their careful reading and constructive comments were foremost in my mind as I conceptualized and wrote this paper, first for our seminar in spring 2006, now as a revised work for publication. Abstract: As Russia’s nineteenth-century Gypsy craze swept through Moscow and St. Petersburg, Gypsy musicians entertained, dined with, and in some cases married Russian noblemen, bureaucrats, poets, and artists. Because the Gypsies’ extraordinary musical abilities supposedly stemmed from their unique Gypsy nature, the effectiveness of their performance rested on the definition of their ethnic identity as separate and distinct from that of the Russian audience. Although it drew on themes deeply embedded in Russian— and European—culture, the Orientalist allure of Gypsy performance was in no small part self-created and self-perpetuated by members of Russia’s renowned Gypsy choirs. For it was only by performing their otherness that Gypsies were able to seize upon their specialized role as entertainers, which gave this group of outsiders temporary control over their elite Russian audiences even as the songs, dances, costumes, and gestures of their performance were shaped perhaps more by audience expectations than by Gypsy musical traditions. The very popularity of the Gypsy musical idiom and the way it intimately reflected the Russian host society would later bring about a crisis of authenticity that by the end of the nineteenth century threatened the magical potential of Gypsy song and dance by suggesting it was something less than the genuine article.

  • GYPSY CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: • Momma Rose
    GYPSY CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: • Momma Rose (age from 35 - 50) The ultimate stage mother. Lives her life vicariously through her two daughters, whom she's put into show business. She is loud, brash, pushy and single- minded, but at times can be doting and charming. She is holding down demons of her own that she is afraid to face. Her voice is the ultimate powerful Broadway belt. Minimal dance but must move well. Comic timing a must. Strong Mezzo/Alto with good low notes and belt. • Baby June (age 9-10) is a Shirley Temple-like up-and-coming vaudeville star, and Madam Rose's youngest daughter. Her onstage demeanor is sugary-sweet, cute, precocious and adorable to the nth degree. Needs to be no taller than 3', 5". An adorable character - Mama Rose's shining star. Strong child singer, strong dancer. Mezzo. • Young Louise (about 12) She should look a couple years older than Baby June. She is Madam Rose's brow-beaten oldest daughter, and has always played second fiddle to her baby sister. She is shy, awkward, a little sad and subdued; she doesn't have the confidence of her sister. Strong acting skills needed. The character always dances slightly out of step but the actress playing this part must be able to dance. Mezzo singer. • Herbie (about 45) agent for Rose's children and Rose's boyfriend and a possible husband number 4. He has a heart of gold but also has the power to defend the people he loves with strength. Minimum dance. A Baritone, sings in one group number, two duets and trio with Rose and Louise.

  • A Love Affair with Danger
    A Love Affair With Danger Bill Hastings has been in Norway about 20 times. He was first hired by The Norwegian University College of Dance in 1991 to do Dancin’ Man for their 25th anniversary. Now, he’s back at The Norwegian University College of Dance to rehearse The Rich Man’s Frug for the 50th anniversary. Can you tell me about your career as a dancer? - I went to college on a full music scholarship. I was a self-taught percussionist who dreamed of playing in a classical orchestra; however, I graduated with a degree in theatre. While in college, a friend of mine came to me and said there was an audition for a local production of the musical “Paint your Wagon”. He encouraged me to audition, and so I did. Quite surprisingly I was hired for the job. A whole new world opened to me. The combination of music, theatre and dance was thrilling. I was hooked. A lifelong career as dancer, choreographer and teacher was to follow. About the same time, I saw a film of Martha Graham’s Seraphic Dialogue; and I thought, I want to do THAT - the beautiful, powerful movement; the iconic design; and, the theatrical artfulness.

  • Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre the Tom Hendry Warehouse Performance History
    Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre The Tom Hendry Warehouse Performance History Second Stage Productions: 1958 — Today The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s second stage has, over the years, changed both location and name. Originally housed in the old Dominion Theatre, it was simply known as the Studio Theatre. Then in 1965, with a new location, it was appropriately called Theatre-Across-The-Street. In 1969, a permanent facility was established at 140 Rupert Avenue and a new name introduced, the MTC Warehouse Theatre. At the 50th Anniversary Homecoming celebration on May 11, 2008, the Warehouse theatre was officially dedicated to MTC co-founder and first general manager, Tom Hendry.
