Aschenbach is the acclaimed master of formal symmetry and structure-his ballets are modern classics. But now, the artist's fear of not finishing, of failure, clouds his vision . Panic impedes creation. The "Frederick Project" should be his masterpiece, but his concept becomes more and more obscure and confused . Unconscious memories of his poetic, impulsive dead mother distract him from his work. The court ba llerina "La Barbarina" and Frederick the Great-characters of his creative imagination-appear, seeming to demand choreographic form and immortality. A crisis ... II On the Brink of Exhaustion Frustrated and exhausted Aschenbach abandons his work. An encounter with a mysterious stranger arouses his thirst for travel. III A Sensation of Swimming-The Journey to Venice The desire to get away overcomes him. He travels to Venice. A strangely familiar gondolier brings Aschenbach across the Lagoon to the Lido. IV The Silent Encounter-Hotel des Bains In the lobby, the elegant Venetian society promenades. Their glances of recognition and obvious awareness of his celebrity intensify Aschenbach 's discomfort. Two effeminate young men dance outrageously with each other, then flirt with Aschenbach. Irritated he begins to leave. Tadzio, a strikingly beautiful young man, enters barefoot. The youth engages Aschenbach 's attention, fires his imagination. He stays ... PART II V In Elysium-On the Lido The beach. Aschenbach observes the playful activities of Tadzio and his companions. The sun seems to turn his attention from intellectual to sensory perception . Tadzio's smile overwhelms Aschenbach . Inspired by Tadzio's presence, he choreographs a pas de deux of true emotional love. VI A Dionysian Dream Aschenbach falls asleep on the beach . An orgiastic dream overtakes him: bodies, tumu lt, and frenzied erotic dance. He gives himself over to the Other God . Unnerved and shattered, Aschenbach awakens. VII Metamorphosis With a hairdressing gown draped over him , Aschenbach leans back in the chair: "We are only so old as we feel in our hearts and minds. A man in your position has a right to his natural hair color," says the barber. VIII Dance of Death-Cholera in Venice A street musician gives a vulgar pe rformance in the hotel ga rden . The player is brutal and bold , dangerous and relentless . Hotel guests fall ill-and die. IX The Pure Sound of the Piano: Decision and Farewell Nevertheless, Gustav von Aschenbach decides to stay. He lets go of his art, his artistry, and destroys his creations. His "Frederick the Great" will remain unfinished ... X Liebestod Aschenbach turns from art to life-and death in Venice . 27 Death in Venice-Music I Fame and Creation Johann Sebastian Bach Das Musikalische Opfer (1747) BWV 1079 Thema Regium (flute) Ricercar a 3 Richard Wagner Elegie (1859/1882) Johann Sebastian Bach Das Musikalische Opfer (1747) BWV 1079 Canon perpetuus super Thema Regium Canon a 2 cancrizans Canon a 2 violini

    WAYNE MCGREGOR | RANDOM DANCE FEBRUARY 13, 2014 OZ SUPPORTS THE CREATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING AND VISUAL ART WORKS BY LEADING ARTISTS WHOSE CONTRIBUTION INFLUENCES THE ADVANCEMENT OF THEIR FIELD. ADVISORY BOARD Amy Atkinson Karen Elson Jill Robinson Anne Brown Karen Hayes Patterson Sims Libby Callaway Gavin Ivester Mike Smith Chase Cole Keith Meacham Ronnie Steine Jen Cole Ellen Meyer Joseph Sulkowski Stephanie Conner Dave Pittman Stacy Widelitz Gavin Duke Paul Polycarpou Betsy Wills Kristy Edmunds Anne Pope Mel Ziegler A MESSAGE FROM OZ Welcome and thank you for joining us for our first presentation as a new destination for contemporary performing and visual arts in Nashville. By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.

  • La Couleur Du Temps – the Colour of Time Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020
    SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli La couleur du temps – The Colour of Time Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821 – 1910) Photo: Uli Weber - Decca Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020 (SF, 30 December 2019) The life of Pauline Viardot-Garcia – singer, musical ambassador of Europe, outstanding pianist and composer – is the focus of the 2020 programme of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. “The uncanny instinct Cecilia Bartoli has for the themes of our times is proven once again by her programme for the 2020 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, which focuses on Pauline Viardot. Orlando Figes has just written a bestseller about this woman. Using Viardot as an example, he describes the importance of art within the idea of Europe,” says Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler. 1 SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli Pauline Viardot not only made a name for herself as a singer, composer and pianist, but her happy marriage with the French theatre manager, author and art critic Louis Viardot furthered her career and enabled her to act as a great patron of the arts. Thus, she made unique efforts to save the autograph of Mozart’s Don Giovanni for posterity. Don Giovanni was among the manuscripts Constanze Mozart had sold to Johann Anton André in Offenbach in 1799. After his death in 1842, his daughter inherited the autograph and offered it to libraries in Vienna, Berlin and London – without success. In 1855 her cousin, the pianist Ernst Pauer, took out an advertisement in the London-based journal Musical World. Thereupon, Pauline Viardot-García bought the manuscript for 180 pounds.

  • DEATH in VENICE by THOMAS MANN Viviane Ramos De Freitas
    THE PLACE OF DESIRE IN THE CIVILIZATION: DEATH IN VENICE BY THOMAS MANN Viviane Ramos de Freitas Orientador: Prof. Dr. Gregory Dart ABSTRACT This work establishes a dialogic exchange between Thomas Mann’s novella Death in Venice and Freud’s text “Civilization and its discontents”. The work examines the ways in which the Freudian developments on the opposition between the individual’s instincts and civilization underlie the protagonist’s conflicts in Death in Venice. Mann wrote Death in Venice between 1911 and 1912, more than a decade before “Civilization and its discontents” was published. Yet Mann’s hero, the 53-year-old artist Gustav von Aschenbach, seem to embody the modern civilized man divided by the neurotic conflict described by Freud. Moreover, this text explores the ways in which Eros is bound up with Death in Mann’s novella, in which homoerotic desire appears tied to disease, degradation, and death. By focusing on the Freudian theories on Eros and the death drive, as well as on the Nietzschean opposition between the Dionysian and Apollonian artistic worlds, the text aims to examine the imbrications between desire and art, desire and death, desire and civilization in Death in Venice. Keywords: Art. Civilization. Death drive. Eros. Homoerotic desire. RESUMO Este trabalho estabelece um dialogo entre a novela Morte em Veneza, de Thomas Mann e o texto “O mal-estar na civilização”, de Sigmund Freud. O trabalho examina de que formas as elaborações freudianas a respeito da oposição entre as pulsões do indivíduo e a civilização está refletida nos conflitos do protagonista de Morte em Veneza.

  • The Paris Opera Ballet and the 2019 Pensions Dispute
    Notes from the Field: Work | Strike | Dance Notes from the Field Work | Strike | Dance: The Paris Opera Ballet and the 2019 Pensions Dispute By Martin Young Fig. 1: Paris Opera dancers perform in front of the Palais Garnier against the French government’s plan to overhaul the country’s retirement system, in Paris, on December 24, 2019. (Photo by Ludovic Marin/AFP via Getty Images). The day before Christmas Eve 2019, 27 of the Paris Opera’s ballet dancers, alongside a large contingent of the orchestra, staged a 15 minute excerpt of Swan Lake on the front steps of the Palais Garnier. This performance was part of a wave of strike action by French workers against major proposed pension reforms which had, since the start of December, already seen the closure of schools, rail networks, and attractions like the Eiffel Tower, and drawn hundreds of thousands of people into taking part in protests in the streets. As reports of the labour dispute, which would become the longest running strike in France’s history, spread around the world, footage of the Swan Lake performance gained a disproportionate prominence, circulating virally as one of the 131 Platform, Vol. 14, No. 1 & 2, Theatres of Labour, Autumn 2020 key emblematic images of the action. That ballet dancers might become the avatars of struggling workers, and that workers’ struggle might become the perspective through which to view a ballet performance, is an unexpected situation to say the least. As Lester Tomé writes, ballet is ‘a high-art tradition commonly characterized as elitist and escapist, seemingly antipodal to Marxist principles’ (6).

  • John Neumeier
    JOHN NEUMEIER John Neumeier was born in 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where he also received his first dance training. He went on to study ballet both in Copenhagen and at the Royal Ballet School in London. He acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Theater Studies from Marquette University, Wisconsin, where he created his first choreographic works. In 1963 John Cranko engaged him at the Stuttgart Ballet, where he progressed to solo dancer. In 1969 Ulrich Erfurth appointed Neumeier as Director of Ballet in Frankfurt. Since 1973 John Neumeier has been Artistic Director and Chief Choreographer of THE HAMBURG BALLET, since 1996 Ballettintendant (General Director). THE HAMBURG BALLET has become one of the leading ballet companies in the German dance scene and soon received international recognition. As a choreographer, Neumeier has continually focused on the preservation of ballet tradition, while giving his works a modern dramatic framework. His commitment to this end has manifested itself particularly in his revised versions of the classical “story ballets”. For his revolutionary choreographies on symphonies by Gustav Mahler he has received particular acclaim throughout the world. His latest creations for THE HAMBURG BALLET, Le Pavillon d’Armide and Orpheus, premiered in 2009, and Purgatorio, premiered in 2011. In 1975, Neumeier created the Hamburger Ballett-Tage, the Hamburg Ballet Festival, a climax and end to each season. In 1978 he founded The School of THE HAMBURG BALLET. In 1989 the school, together with the company, moved into its own Ballettzentrum (ballet center) provided by the city of Hamburg. Its facilities include nine studios and a boarding school for over thirty students.
