The group makes no statement of its own, but its presence, always surging and hovering in the background, determines the actions of the soloist. In Meadowlark, Feld matched the exuberant momentum of Haydn, and in Harbinger the frenetic pace of Prokofieff. Several unusual things are implied by this highly developed musicality of Feld's.

    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.

Decor after Alexandre BHNOIS Courtesy of Avery Memorial Museum, Hartford, Conn. The scene is the Admiralty Square, St. Petersburg, about 1830. It is carnival time. The crowds are merry, when there appears among them an old Charlatan, Oriental in appearance, who exhibits to the throng his three dancing puppets, Petrouchka, the Dancer, and the Moor. The Charlatan, with his magic, has endowed these dolls with human attributes and sentiments. Petrouchka has the most humanity of the three and therefore suffers most from the cruelty of the Charlatan who holds him prisoner, aloof from life. He feels deeply his enchainment, his ugliness, his grotesqueness. Petrouchka seeks consolation in a romantic love for the Dancer, and believes his suit successful, not realizing that his paroxysms of love only cause her to fear him. The Dancer prefers the strong, exotic Moor, a healthy barbarian who first attacks and then worships his cell-plaything, a cocoanut shell. The Dancer succeeds in fascinating him, dull, stupid materialist that he is; while Petrouchka, alone in his cell, shakes an impotent fist at a picture of the Charlatan, framed on the wall of his cell, and takes himself to the Moor's quarters, arriving at the moment when the two are about to declare their love for each other.
