An important and influential choreographer, director, and dancer, who “helped transform the American musical theater of the ’40s and ’50s.” After graduating with honors from the University of California, Agnes de Mille gave her first solo dance recital in 1928 at the Republic Theater in New York. A year later she arranged the choreography for a revival of “The Black Crook” in Hoboken, New Jersey, and subsequently spent several years in London studying the ballet. In 1933 she arranged and staged the dances for Charles B. Cochran’s production of “Nymph Errant” at the Adelphi Theatre in London, and later returned to America to work on shows such as “Hooray for What!” and “Swinging the Dream,” and the film, ROMEO AND JULIET. In 1939 she joined the Ballet Theatre in New York and choreographed productions such as “Black Ritual,” “Three Virgins and a Devil,” and Aaron Copland’s “Rodeo.” Her work for the last-named, in which she herself danced the leading role, was highly acclaimed and led to her being hired for Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s first musical, “Oklahoma!” (1943). Her skilful blending of classical and modern dance, which enhanced and developed the show’s story, was highlighted by the “Dream Ballet” sequence, a feature that became the benchmark for many a future musical.

Agnes de Mille , in full Agnes George de Mille , de Mille also spelled DeMille , (born Sept. 18, 1905, New York, N.Y., U.S.—died Oct. 7, 1993, New York City), American dancer and choreographer who further developed the narrative aspect of dance and made innovative use of American themes, folk dances, and physical idioms in her choreography of musical plays and ballets. Her father was the playwright William Churchill DeMille, her mother the daughter of the economist Henry George, and her uncle the film director Cecil B. DeMille. She spent her youth (from 1914) in Hollywood and earned a B.A. degree in English from the University of California, Los Angeles. She also learned dance. After moving to New York City, she toured the United States and Europe (1929–40), giving concerts of her own character sketches in mime-dance. She created her first major roles in ballet with the Ballet Rambert, performing in works by Antony Tudor, and later studied modern dance. Rodeo (1942), one of her most important ballets, was created for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. The first ballet to include tap dancing, it used distinctively American gestures—bronco-riding and steer-roping movements. Most of de Mille’s other ballets were choreographed for New York City’s Ballet Theatre, which she joined in 1940. Her works for that company include Fall River Legend (1948; based on the story of Lizzie Borden), The Harvest According (1952), and Three Virgins and a Devil (1941). De Mille’s equally outstanding career as a choreographer of musicals began in 1929 with The Black Crook . In 1943 she choreographed the dances for Oklahoma!. In that Broadway musical, dance not only added to the dramatic atmosphere but also, for the first time in American theatrical history, was instrumental in advancing the plot. Among the other musicals for which she staged the dances were One Touch of Venus (1943), Carousel (1945), Brigadoon (1947), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1949), Paint Your Wagon (1951), The Girl in Pink Tights (1954), and 110 in the Shade (1963). She also arranged dances for the films Romeo and Juliet (1936) and Oklahoma! (1955), directed plays, and choreographed television programs. The recipient of many prizes and awards, de Mille continued to choreograph ballets for the American Ballet Theatre, including A Rose for Miss Emily (1971), Texas Fourth (1976), and The Informer (1988). Among her several books are Dance to the Piper (1952), To a Young Dancer (1962), The Book of the Dance (1963), Lizzie Borden: A Dance of Death (1968), and Speak to Me, Dance with Me (1973). She also wrote two autobiographies, And Promenade Home (1958) and Where the Wings Grow (1977). Her later books include her controversial biography of fellow dancer-choreographer Martha Graham entitled Martha (1991). Speak To Me Dance With Me by Agnes De Mille. De Mille, Agnes.

Agnes George de Mille, dancer, choreographer, writer and spokesperson for the arts, was born September 18, 1905 in New York. She was the daughter of playwright William Churchill de Mille (1879?-1955) and Anna George de Mille (1878-1947), who was in turn the daughter of writer and single-tax advocate, Henry George (1839-1897). Agnes' uncle was the film producer/director, Cecil B. de Mille (1881-1959). She had a younger sister, Margaret (1908-1978). In 1914, the de Milles moved to Hollywood where William was joining forces with Cecil in the motion picture industry. Agnes attended the Hollywood School for Girls, graduating in 1922, and went on to graduate from University of California in 1926 with a degree in English. William and Anna separated that year, being divorced in 1927, and Agnes spent that summer after graduating traveling in western Europe with her mother and sister. William married Clara Beranger, a colleague in the movie industry, in 1928 and lived with her in California for the remainder of his life. Agnes' formal dance training did not begin until early adolescence in California with Theodore Kosloff. She did some performing in college shows although she did not train continuously during her college years. Soon after graduating, she began to give solo recitals and later with Warren Leonard in her own works. Her mother helped her produce these and accompanied her to concerts in various cities in the United States and in Europe. During this period, she settled once again in New York, at first living with her mother and sister, and then on her own. Agnes moved to England in 1932 where she continued her dance training in ballet with Marie Rambert. She performed in her own work and those of her peers such as Antony Tudor under the auspices of Rambert. Upon her permanent return to New York ca. 1939, she met Walter Prude (1909-) through Martha Graham who was under Prude's management. Agnes and Walter were married on June 14, 1943, in Hobbs, New Mexico during the time when Prude was in military service. The two were separated-except for infrequent visits-due to the war until 1945. Their son, Jonathan de Mille Prude, was born in 1946. It was in this time in the early 1940's that de Mille's work as a choreographer began to be recognized in the United States. Her ballet “Rodeo” in 1942, created for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, brought her immediate acclaim and popularity as did her choreography for the Broadway show “Oklahoma!” the following year.

  • Into the Eye of the Storm Destruction
    tain” overwhelmed by a storm, who eventually dis - covers that “to oppose the storm meant preeminent Into the Eye of the Storm destruction. So he took the opposite course and headed the vessel right into the storm and finally reached the center where it was still and peaceful.” Collins equates this tranquil center with what she calls the “Eye of God”—but it serves just as well as a symbol of her intuitive professional strategy. In an interview in the Seattle Times not included in this book, Collins said of her family, “We didn’t consider ourselves black. … We were well-aware of how black people were treated, but we didn’t bow to that treatment. We didn’t have to overcome inferiority. We had to overcome arrogance.” Desirous of education and stability, committed to excellence in every pursuit, the extended Collins-de Lavallade family paired a remarkable self- confidence with a conviction that dates back at least as far as Anna Julia Cooper’s assertion in 1892 that a woman’s “quiet undisputed dignity…without suing or special patronage” could, by dint of example, elevate the “Negro race.” anet Collins was born in New Orleans in 1917 and brought up in southern California in a Jclose-knit extended family in which, she writes, “We were all encouraged to follow our natural endowments.” Her first ballet teacher was a neighbor, Louise Beverly, who seems to have had some association with Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn’s Denishawn modern dance company, indicated in part by the fact that the young Collins was taught a version of the company’s “exotic” East Indian “nautch” dance.

    PERSONAJES DE LA ALONSO gitanas, españolas, PEDRO SIMON goyescas... El Lewisohn Stadium de Nueva York fue eScenario en agosto de 19W del primer éxito de Alicia Alonso con un personaje español. Ese día estrenó junto a Nora Kaye, Jerome Robbins y otros, la obra Goyescas (1), una coreografía de Antony Tudor compuesta sobre la música homónima de Enrique Granados. El estilo de esta nueva creación de Tudor mereció que se califica­ ra la obra como "un extraño fenómeno dentro del re­ pertorio de Ballet Theatre", y en ella reveló la baila­ rina cubana posibilidades hasta entonces inéditas. Su danza fue desenvuelta en secuencias de elegante femi­ nidad, sin grandes complejidades de contenido, pero estableciendo la imagen peculiar de una maja ajena a pintoresquismos y recurros facilistas. Aparecía una ?,ueva dimensión en la joven artista, que a lo largo de su carrera transmutaría en personajes de honda fuerza expresiva. Tres años más tarde, acompañada por Leónid Massine, fue la intérprete principal en la reposición de Capricho español. Massine compuso este ballet en la década del treinta, en colaboración con Enca.rnación López, !al famosa "Argentinita", sobre una fantasía para orques­ ta y violín de Rimski Korsakov basada en temas espa­ ñoles. Cuando Alicia Alonso lo sumó a su repertorio, la críti.ca comentó el increíble ritmo de su danza, el fuego que nunca vulneraba la forma, las cadencias fre­ néticas, ei taconeo fervoroso, las sinuosidades Titmicas de la línea. Todo se conjugó en ella para plasmar una gitana de reminiscencias goyescas. El ballet Don Quijote, con música de Minkus, es justa.

    i THE CUBAN BALLET: ITS RATIONALE, AESTHETICS AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY AS FORMULATED BY ALICIA ALONSO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Lester Tomé January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Karen Bond, Dance Michael Klein, Music Theory Heather Levi, External Member, Anthropology ii © Copyright 2011 by Lester Tomé All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the 1940s, Alicia Alonso became the first Latin American dancer to achieve international prominence in the field of ballet, until then dominated by Europeans. Promoted by Alonso, ballet took firm roots in Cuba in the following decades, particularly after the Cuban Revolution (1959). This dissertation integrates the methods of historical research, postcolonial critique and discourse analysis to explore the performative and discursive strategies through which Alonso defined her artistic identity and the collective identity of the Cuban ballet. The present study also examines the historical context of the development of ballet in Cuba, Alonso’s rationale for the practice of ballet on the Island, and the relationship between the Cuban ballet and the European ballet. Alonso defended the legitimacy of Cuban dancers to practice ballet and, in specific, perform European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. She opposed the notion that ballet was the exclusive patrimony of Europeans. She also insisted that the cultivation of this dance form on the Island was not an act of cultural colonialism. In her view, the development of ballet in Cuba consisted, instead, of an exploration of a distinctive Cuban voice within this dance form, a reformulation of a European legacy from a postcolonial perspective.

It first provides examples of the everyday ways in which nonhuman as well as human animate forms of life move in concert with one another. Thinking in movement is highlighted in this context and then throughout the article. Also highlighted and exemplified from various perspectives is the fact that infants are not pre-linguistic but that language is post-kinetic. Attention is furthermore called to the silence of movement and to the power of kinetic silence. Sociopolitical human examples are detailed that show how moving in concert has the possibility of enhancing corporeally-awakened and corpo- really-inflected social sensibilities and relationships.

  • Converging Movements. Modem Dance and Jewish Culture at the 92Nd Street Y
    54 Review Converging Movements. Modern Dance and Jewish Culture at the 92nd Street Y. Naomi M. Jackson. 2000. Wesleyan University Press [Published by University Press of New England], Hanover, NH. Includes bibliographical references, Endnotes, Index, Appendices (pages 229-49) and 46 illus-trations, listed on pp. xi-x. Hardback $40.00; Paperback: $19.95. ISBN 0 - 8195 - 6419 - 2. Drid Williams Nathan Kolodny, former director of the 92nd Street Y from 1934 to 1969, says on the jacket of this book, Converging Movements takes the 92nd Street Y through 25 of its most tumultuous and creative years. It investigates at least five main spheres: the evolution of the practice and aesthetic of modern dance, the struggle of Jews to find a place within modem society, multiculturalism and the emergence of women, the power of vision in institutional leadership, and the pragmatic economic and societal forces with which all artists and arts administrators must contend or be consumed. Dr. Jackson's study is so astute and complete that it could be used as a text for anyone of five areas. But when they are conjoined, one gets a clear and profound look at their interplay and complexity from the subtle analysis of a dancer's hand movements to the impact of financial resources and geographical location on an institution's mission and survival. What Kolodny says is true; Converging Movements is a well-written, interesting book by an author who is undoubtedly an excellent historian. To this reviewer, the significance of the book lies chiefly in the fact that it redresses some long-standing imbalances in the literature about American modem dance.

  • Lincoln Kirstein, Modern Dance, and the Left: the Genesis of an American Ballet
    Lincoln Kirstein, Modern Dance, and the Left: The Genesis of an American Ballet LYNN GARAFOLA Ballet Caravan, the short-lived chamber company founded by Lincoln Kirstein1 in 1936, is mostly remembered as a high-minded but misguided experiment in presenting ballets by Americans on American subjects. With the exception of Billy theKid (1938), which teamed Eugene Loring with composer Aaron Copland on the first of the latter's Americana classics, and to a lesser extent the Lew Christensen-Virgil Thomson-Paul Cadmus collaboration, Filling Station(1937), the repertoire did not outlast the company's five-year existence. To be sure, aspects of the enterprise proved more lasting. The 'seasoning' of a generation of young American dancers, the discovery of a generation of new American choreographers, and the tapping in New York and on the road of an educated, - sophisticated audience all contributed to the ballet 'boom' of the 1940s and the strong American presence in companies such as Ballet Theatre, Ballet International, and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Ballet Caravan survivedin part because of Kirstein'swillingness to associate the company with institutions and practices peripheral to ballet. The first of these was modern dance, which helped establish the company's American identity. Ballet Caravan made its debut at the Bennington College Summer School of the Dance,2 performed at the 92nd Street Y,3Washington Irving High School (in the Student Dance Recitals series),4Dance International,5 and the New School for Social Research (in its lecture-demonstration series 'The Dance - in the Social Scene')6 all venues closely associated with modern dance.
