Jego popularność nie słabnie do dnia dzisiejszego, choć obec- nie funkcjonuje on zarówno w wersji klasycznej (choreografia Jeana Corallego i Ju- les’a Perraulta), jak i w wariantach współczesnych (choreografie między innymi Matsa Eka, Borysa Ejfmana), przedstawiając różnorodne taneczne obrazy szaleństwa. Balet ten inspiruje jednak nie tylko samych choreografów – postać Giselle równie silnie od- działuje także na same tancerki-wykonawczynie, dla których do dziś rola ta jest wiel- kim marzeniem i ogromnym wyzwaniem. Jedną z najsłynniejszych odtwórczyń tej par- tii była rosyjska balerina Olga Spiesiwcewa, która tak bardzo wniknęła w psycholo- gię swojej bohaterki, że sama ostatnie lata swego życia spędziła w zakładzie dla psy- chicznie chorych. Jej losy zainspirowały rosyjskiego choreografa Borysa Ejfmana do stworzenia baletu Czerwona Giselle, w którym wyraża on swoje fascynacje nie tylko biografią Spiesiwcewej, -

The superstars Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev danced it with us in 1964, in a production based on the Borovansky Ballet’s. Our founding artistic director, Peggy van Praagh, created her production in 1965; it premiered in Birmingham on the company’s first international tour, and won a Grand Prix for the best production staged in Paris that year. It went on to become one of the most frequently performed ballets in our repertoire. Peggy’s production came to a tragic end when the scenery was consumed by fire on our 1985 regional tour. The artistic director at the time, Maina Gielgud, created her own production a year later. -

Sydney Dance Company - a Study of a Connecting Thread with the Ballets Russes’
‘Sydney Dance Company - A study of a connecting thread with the Ballets Russes’ Peter Stell B.A. (Hons). The Australian Centre, School of Historical Studies, The University of Melbourne. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by Research May, 2009. i Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text, and that the material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. …………………………………………. Peter Stell ii Abstract This thesis addresses unexplored territory within a relatively new body of scholarship concerning the history of the Ballets Russes in Australia. Specifically, it explores the connection between the original Diaghilev Ballets Russes (1909- 1929) and the trajectories of influence of Russian ballets that visited Australia. The study’s hypothesis is that the Sydney Dance Company, under the artistic direction of Graeme Murphy between 1976 and 2007, and the creation in 1978 of Murphy’s first full-length work Poppy, best exemplifies in contemporary terms the influence in Australia of the Ballets Russes. Murphy was inspired to create Poppy from his reading of the prominent artistic collaborator of the Ballets Russes, Jean Cocteau. This thesis asserts that Poppy, and its demonstrable essential connection with the original Diaghilev epoch, was the principal driver of Murphy’s artistic leadership over fifty dance creations by himself and collaborative artists. This study sketches the origins of the Ballets Russes, the impact its launch made on dance in the West, and how it progressed through three distinguishable phases of influence. -
From Bedroom to Kitchen and Beyond: Women of the Ballet
From bedroom to Kitchen and beyond: women of the ballet Michelle Potter: talk given at Fairhall, Melbourne, 25 June 2014 Welcome everyone. Thank you for coming and congratulations to David McAllister for his curatorship of this exhibition. William Johnston, whose collection is housed here at Fairhall, took delight in arranging and rearranging objects in his collection to create different interiors. It is a wonderful initiative that curators at Fairhall perpetuate the activity that gave Mr Johnston so much pleasure, by inviting guest curators to do the same. I want to begin my talk today with a word of explanation. I chose the subject for my talk some time ago, when the exhibition was still in the planning stages. In the end some of the items that David initially planned to use were in fact not used, for various, very sensible curatorial reasons. But, nevertheless, I had a topic announced in publicity material. So there was no going back even though some of the ideas I wanted to speak about were no longer represented by costumes in the exhibition. My opening image is a case in point. It shows Madeleine Eastoe as the Sylph in La Sylphide, but there are no costumes from La Sylphide in the show, although an item that was behind the original idea of using costumes from La Sylphide is on display in the study. So I have turned to those items in my discussion and I hope you will bear with me. So to the bedroom! 1 This next slide shows the costume for the Princess Aurora in Act I of Maina Gielgud’s production of The Sleeping Beauty for the Australian Ballet. -
ADJUDICATED MEMBER PRESENTATIONS CORPS De BALLET INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2018 FLORENCE, ITALY
ADJUDICATED MEMBER PRESENTATIONS CORPS de BALLET INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2018 FLORENCE, ITALY Wednesday, JULY 18TH 9:30-10 am TITLE: Enrico Cecchetti: The Ingenious Mime PRESENTER: Melonie Buchanan Murray BIOGRAPHY: Melonie B. Murray Melonie B. Murray is a scholar and an artist, both a professor and choreographer. Currently an Associate Professor within the School of Dance at the University of Utah, Melonie is also completing a PhD in Dance through Texas Woman’s University. Her research interests lie in exploring the continual evolution of ballet training methods and performances, and while honoring the past, investigating ballet through a critical theory lens. Topics of recent research have included analyzing the commoditization of dancers in the advertising campaigns of American ballet companies, exploring notions of ballet as a form of cultural identity, examining how gender is performed in early ballet training, and exploring ballet as a degree focus in American higher education. Holding a BFA in Ballet from Friends University and MFA in Dance from the University of California, Irvine, Melonie believes that there is a place for all dance forms within the academy, and her commitment to dance as a scholarly endeavor is paramount. She was instrumental in building the dance program at Colorado Mesa University and in now serving as the Ballet Program Coordinator and Director of Graduate Studies for Ballet at the University of Utah. Melonie’s academic writing has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and she continues to defend the arts, dance, and ballet as legitimate scholarly pursuits. As a choreographer, Melonie is particularly interested in pushing the boundaries of ballet and exploring ways in which to communicate complex concepts and social critique through movement. -

On Friday morning, The New York Times' Anna 40th Anniversary Kisselgoff proclaimed: A“ ballet world in search of a major choreographer need search no more. He is Boris Eifman…” She went on to praise the “blazing invention of his choreography…” and his “…stunning group of passionate dancers.” EIFMAN BALLET OF Sitting in the audience that evening, and likely in agreement with Kisselgoff, was former Northrop Director, Dale Schatzlein. He was scouting work for the Northrop Dance Series, and was so taken with Eifman Ballet that he became the first U.S. ST. PETERSBURG presenter to sign on for their next North American tour. The company presented Red Giselle on the Northrop stage for Artistic Director the first time in April of 2000, seventeen years ago. Tonight marks their sixth visit to Minneapolis, and I know they have BORIS EIFMAN Christine Tschida. Photo by Tim Rummelhoff. become audience favorites. I am certain there are some in the audience tonight who have seen each and every one of those performances! Company Red Giselle is exciting because of the passion and energy that Mr. Eifman demands of his amazing dancers, MARIA ABASHOVA, LYUBOV ANDREYEVA, LILIA LISHCHUK, NATALIA POVOROZNYUK and for the unabashed theatricality that he brings to all of his productions. -

Vander Hoff 1 George Balanchine’s Funeral March: Rediscovering the Lost Work of a Master Submitted by Bridget Vander Hoff Dance To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College Mentor: Elizabeth Kattner, Assistant Professor of Dance School of Music, Theatre, and Dance Oakland University 2/15/18 Vander Hoff 2 George Balanchine’s Funeral March was well-received when it was first performed, but unfortunately, the choreography has since been lost. For my Honors College thesis, I chose to research this ballet, to get an idea of what it would have looked like. To obtain much of my information, I visited the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and listened to recorded interviews of Alexandra Danilova, a soloist in the piece, at the Oral History Archives. Upon completing my academic research, I traveled with my mentor, Elizabeth Kattner, to Grand Rapids to observe the reconstruction process. There, the ballet was pieced together and set on the Grand Rapids Ballet through movement research based on text and oral history describing the piece. This paper will describe both the academic research, the movement research process, and how both were used to bring the reconstruction of Funeral March to fruition. Balanchine is one of the most revered creatives in the world of ballet. He disregarded the rigid regulations of traditional, classical ballet vocabulary, and was a real pioneer in the world of dance. Credited for inventing Neoclassicism, his pieces are known for angular shapes and intricate partnering. However, his early work is quite different.
