  • The Slow-Changing Face of Leadership in Ballet: an Interdisciplinary Approach to Analysing Women's Roles
    Leadership and the Humanities, Vol. 4 No. 2, 2016, pp. 73–91 The slow-changing face of leadership in ballet: an interdisciplinary approach to analysing women’s roles Lisa DeFrank-Cole Associate Professor and Director of Leadership Studies, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA Renee K. Nicholson Assistant Professor of Multidisciplinary Studies, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA The parallels between the arts and leadership have been underexplored, especially in the context of classical ballet. An interdisciplinary exploration of ballet and leadership by a lea- dership scholar and a classically trained ballet dancer enable a thorough and thoughtful look at the intersections of these worlds. This will bring a fresh perspective to ballet’s unique culture, one often stuck in nineteenth-century contexts based on outmoded gender roles. Women dominate the art form yet few rise to prominent leadership roles. Data reveal unequal opportunities for women in areas such as choreography. Moreover, choreogra- phers embody a different kind of artistic leadership, crafting the way audiences view the dancers in the troupe. Men most often craft this view of women with the works they choose to present. A recent accounting of choreographic works by major American ballet companies showed that women choreographed only 25 of the 290 ballets performed in 2012. Thus, on stage, men largely manipulate the image of women in ballet. If ‘ballet is woman,’ according to the late choreographer George Balanchine, why are there still so few at the top? The example pulled for a new outlook breaks with outmoded representation. Bold, confident, and embodying a very different paradigm, Misty Copeland (American Ballet Theatre’sprinci- pal dancer) presents a different face of the ballet dancer/leader.

  • In Conversation: Angel Corella by Lisa Kraus
    Photo: Alexander Iziliaev In Conversation: Angel Corella by Lisa Kraus This summer, Dance Magazine invited TD Editor Lisa Kraus to write a short piece about Ángel Corella, responding to his newly- announced appointment as the next artistic director of Pennsylvania Ballet. As PAB embarks on its first week of performances with Corella at the helm, here are some outtakes from their interview. Lisa Kraus: What drew you to Pennsylvania Ballet? Ángel Corella: I’ve followed the company for quite a while for many different reasons, especially because when I started with American Ballet Theatre my sister and her ex-husband were dancers with the company. I used to visit them all the time so I’m quite familiar with the company. It’s a wonderful company with wonderful dancers and a great repertoire. LK: You are coming from having directed Barcelona Ballet in Spain. I understand that funding was challenging there. AC: Spain as a country is very focused on sports and puts most of its money into them, especially soccer. They don’t invest in culture. Not only that, the tax deduction law doesn’t allow you to go in search of private donors to support the arts. So if you’re an artist in Spain you are going to disappear…everyone leaves the country! Like Placido Domingo and all the great established artists, they all left the country because there’s not any kind of support from the government. There’s a lot of corruption. It’s very, very sad. LK: So the prospect of leading an established company with donors and a strong infrastructure in place must have been appealing.
