  • The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance

    The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance

    Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

Performed by Graham 2’s exceedingly talented young dancers, the program provides ways to consider Graham’s complex, multifaceted characters through dances that evoke innocence, seduction, erotic love, empowerment, rejection, resilience, and more. The program will feature Heretic (1929), excerpts from Embattled Garden (1958) and El Penitente (1940), Conversation of Lovers from Acts of Light (1981), Appalachian Spring Suite (1944), the newly revived Secular Games (1962), and a new work by French choreographer Brice Mousset, set to the music of composer Mike Sheridan. The opening night on May 30 will be a special night for Graham 2 alumni. The troupe is now 36 years old, and the performance will include media featuring many generations of Graham 2 dancers. General tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Students $15 in advance/$20 at the door. Special alumni ticket price: $20 in advance/$25 at the door.

  • SDI Repertory and Footprints Descriptions

    SDI Repertory and Footprints Descriptions

    6/11/19 2019 ADF School DESCRIPTIONS OF FOOTPRINTS AND SDI REPERTORY PIECES The following are descriptions of repertory projects whose auditions will be held during preview weekend. Read these descriptions carefully to choose which auditions to attend. If you are not cast in a piece during opening weekend – don’t fret! There will be many other performing opportunities, including the ICR concert, student concert, and faculty concert. FOOTPRINTS OVERVIEW In Footprints projects, choreographers set a work for ADF’s performance season using ADF students. It is strongly driven by its basic parameters: a work is set and performed in a short amount of time! This means that Footprints requires a serious time commitment: casts will rehearse Monday through Friday (Wednesdays included); one weekend rehearsal each week is permitted; and the last two weeks of the festival will be largely spent in tech and dress rehearsals in the theaters. There will even be one show that tours to Wilmington, NC on July 13th. In these respects, Footprints is a window into how dance gets made in the professional world. Note that if you are someone who wants to delve into all WFSS has to offer, Footprints casts will be unable to take full advantage of WFSS. Students in Footprints may not enroll in a repertory course. Due to scheduling conflicts, students in Footprints will be unable to participate in the Student Concerts or International Choreographers in Residence Concert. They may participate in the Faculty Concert. Paul Taylor/ Esplanade/ Set by Michael Trusnovec Michael Trusnovec, from Yaphank, New York, began dancing at age six, graduated from the Long Island High School for the Arts and was a 1992 YoungARTS awardee and Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
