Robert danced the Sanctus pas de deux and his exemplary partnering skills were instrumental in its creation. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to stage the work for Louisville Ballet as part of The Beyond. The inspiration for the ballet is drawn solely from the sublime music of Fauré rather than any interpretation of the Latin text used in the Requiem Mass. Unlike some famous Requiems which emphasize the fear of the Day of Judgment, Fauré wanted his to be an affirmation of his belief that, rather than something to be feared, death should be seen as a welcome release into eternal rest. The ballet is a reflection of the serenity with which age and a lifetime of experience can lead us to face our mortality but also how empathy for both the suffering and joy in the human condition can perhaps bring that wisdom and serenity at any age. 8 A U D I E N C E Project Faust A WORLD PREMIERE DIRECTED BY SALLY BLACKWOOD CHOREOGRAPHY BY ADAM HOUGLAND MUSIC BY CHARLES GOUNOD ORIGINAL LIBRETTO BY MICHAL CARRE AND JULES BARBIER AFTER THE POEM BY GOETHE SCENIC AND LIGHTING DESIGN BY TRAD A BURNS DESIGN ASSISTANCE BY BENJAMIN GANTOSE PROJECT FAUST SCENERY BUILT BY S&J DESIGN MUSIC DIRECTION AND CONDUCTOR BY TARA SIMONCIC SOUND DESIGN BY TIM BARNES COSTUME DESIGN BY ZHANNA GOLDENTUL Garrett Sorenson, Tenor, as Faust Emily Albrink, Soprano, as Marguerite Jorgeandrés Camargo, Bass, as The Devil Maya O’Dell as Girl Child DIRECTOR’S NOTES Project Faust is a new opera/ballet work by Louisville Ballet and Kentucky Opera. Project Faust is the story of Marguerite and Faust bound together in one cyclical moment in time in which heaven and hell become one. In an instant of choice Faust succumbs to his ego and conjures up his inner darkness unleashing his internal demons. Only their moral compass, and the innocence of a child, may guide them through the maze of inferno. Project Faust takes Goethe’s twisted tale and Charles Gounod’s opera and reimagines the legend of Faust in the twenty first century. Within the framework of this timeless classic, we examine the universal question of the Faustian bargain in our contemporary world in which one’s moral compass is at risk of constant corruption by those in power. Project Faust is the story of Marguerite and her resilience despite all odds. The story is guided by a young girl, a child, Marguerite’s child or perhaps a younger version of herself. This young girl is our key into the surreal world of Project Faust as she guides us through the abstracted story like Virgil guiding Dante through the layers of hell. Through the innocent eye of a child we are able to experience the truth of The Beyond. Project Faust is a world premiere which has been created over two years by an ensemble of extraordinary opera and ballet artists, led by a creative team from across the US, UK and Australia. The ensemble has developed a performance language and storytelling aesthetic that steps outside the bounds of both opera and ballet to create a new and innovative hybrid art form. This new dance-driven story is an hour-long marriage of opera and ballet as you have never experienced. Project Faust is a feast for the senses. What’s your price? What would you sell your soul for? Concept creation, music arrangement, dramaturgy, supertitles and libretto re-interpretation by Sally Blackwood. A U D I E N C E 9 Project Faust A Scorpion and A Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream, the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on his back. The frog asks: “How do I know you won’t sting me?” the scorpion says: “Because if I do, I will die too.” The frog is satisfied, and they set out; but midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the sting and starts to drown – but has just enough time to gasp: “Why?” The scorpion replies: “It’s my nature...” The Forest Through the forest, in the undergrowth, among the stones, and over the water, from place to place, piercing the darkness, a shining fire lights up and flees. Watch out! Watch out! From near and far, across the fields, beneath the cypress, like mobile flames, and icy beams, come the souls of the departed. The souls of the departed. The souls of the departed. The Hospital Marguerite Ah, my lover’s voice! His call still chills my heart. Faust Marguerite! (You’re here.) Marguerite Amidst your mocking laughter, demons who surround me, I recognised his voice. Faust Marguerite. (Help me.) 10 A U D I E N C E Marguerite His hand tries to draw me in. He is there, but I am free. I am free. Despite him. I hear him. I see him. Yes, I loved you. Despite myself, I love you. Suffering and death, nothing scares me. Here I am. Standing strong. I have made it. I have made it alone. Here you are. You can’t escape your fate. Faust Yes, here I am, I love you. Here I am, I do still love you. Despite my inner demons, pouring darkness on your soul. I have found you. I have found you again. Now you are safe.

  • Nicolle Greenhood Major Paper FINAL.Pdf (4.901Mb)
    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.
