Winter Spring SEMESTER 19 winter spring SEMESTER home of the Danny Mabry Theatre // carrolltonarts.org welcomeA LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT When I am asked, “What’s new?” at the Carrollton Center for the Arts, I usually respond, “Do you have an hour?” There are so many wonderful new classes, workshops and special events at our center each week, you can easily miss something. I would like to make sure that does not happen. Highlights of this Winter-Spring Semester include: the return of the Mountainfilm on Tour Film Festival, the annual Art Takeover downtown and performances like Kenny Brawner in Ray Charles on My Mind, LaBoheme and Presidio Brass. Don’t miss the annual Artist Guild exhibition, the Community Chorus’ Music to Remember or the Community Theatre’s Shrek: The Musical. The new year is the perfect time to consider taking a class, auditioning for a play, coming to an art exhibit opening, watching a performance, joining an arts group or becoming a volunteer at the center. Make a new year’s resolution now to be part of the arts in our community. Sincerely, Tim Chapman, Superintendent of Arts We would like to thank the following organizations for supporting the Carrollton Center for the Arts throughout the year. On the front cover Beloved artist, Tom Nielsen was born in Clinton, Iowa. He was a painter for five decades. Beginning with lessons and encouragement by his grandmother, he began working with pastels at an early age and was oil painting by 10. He is largely self-studied, devoting much attention to the disciplines and methods of artists he admires past and present. A realist at heart, his paintings reflect his love of marine and landscape paintings by artists from the golden age of traditional painting. Tom’s childhood was filled with adventure on the backwaters of the Mississippi River. Nielsen joined the Navy after high school. After serving in the Vietnam War, he returned to his home town where he established his first studio aboard a houseboat. He later moved to the Washington, D.C., area where he divided his time between graphic design and painting. Portraits dominated his career at first, but he longed to paint landscapes and seascapes as well and gradually found a balance between the two. Marine subjects, whether inland rivers, coastal marshes or thundering surf, have become the focus of his recent work. In 2004, his coastal paintings of the Marshes of Glynn were given by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue to each of the world leaders attending the G8 Sea Island Summit. In 2012, he was elected as a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists. His painting, Into The Night - The USS Constitution, traveled nationally as part of the society’s 1812 Star-Spangled Nation exhibition. His harbor scene, North Shore, was juried into the society’s 16th Annual National Exhibition. His seascape, Atlantic Rhythm, won a place in the 35th Annual Mystic Seaport International Marine Art Exhibition. Recently, Mr. Nielsen passed away in Carrollton, and even though he will be missed, his legacy will live on and his memory and contributions to the art scene in Carrollton will never be forgotten.

Introduction. Russian ballet is a form of ballet characteristic of or originating from Russia. In the early 19th century, the theatres were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. There was a seating section called a rayok, or «paradise gallery», which consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non- wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive. It is considered one of the most rigorous dance schools and it came to Russia from France. The specific cultural traits of this country allowed to this technique to evolve very fast reach his most perfect state of beauty and performing [4; 22]. II.

  • Ballet, Culture and Elite in the Soviet Union on Agrippina Vaganova’S Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy
    Ballet, culture and elite in the Soviet Union On Agrippina Vaganova’s Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy Magdalena L. Midtgaard Magdalena Midtgaard VT 2016 Examensarbete, 15 hp Master program, Idéhistoria 120 hp Balett, kultur och elit i Sovjetunionen Om Agrippina Vaganovas idéer, undervisningsmetoder och arv Magdalena Midtgaard vt. 2016 Abstract. Balettutbildning har varit auktoritär och elitistisk i århundraden. Med utgångspunkt i Agrippina Vaganova och hennes metodiska systematisering av balettundervisning diskuteras frågor om elit, lärande och tradition inom balettundervisning. Vaganova var en länk mellan tsartidens Ryssland och det nya Sovjet och bidrog aktivt till att balett som konstform, trots sin aristokratiska bakgrund, fördes vidare och blev en viktig kulturpolitiskt aktivitet i Sovjet. Med underlag i texter av Bourdieu och Said diskuteras elit, kulturellt kapital och elitutbildning för att förklara några av de politiska och samhällsmässiga mekanismer som bidragit till balettens unika position i Sovjet. För att placera Vaganova som pedagog i förhållande till balettundervisning och balett genom tiden, presenteras korta informativa kapitel om baletthistoria, och utveckling och spridning av Vaganovas metod, både i Sovjet/Ryssland och i andra länder. Key words: Classical ballet, Vaganova, ballet education, elite education, cultural politics in the Soviet Union My sincere thanks to Sharon Clark Chang for proof reading and correcting my English, and to Louise Midtgaard and Sofia Linnea Berglund for valuable thoughts on Vaganova and ballet pedagogy and education in general. 2 Contents 1.

  • Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes's Coppélia by Arthur E. Lafex Submitted To
    Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia By Copyright 2013 Arthur E. Lafex Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin ________________________________ Paul R. Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street Date Defended: April 15, 2013 The Thesis Committee for Author (Arthur E. Lafex) certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin Date approved: April 15, 2013 ii Abstract Léo Delibes (1836-1891) wrote ballet scores that have inspired composers and have entertained generations of ballet lovers. His scores have been cited for their tunefulness, appropriateness for their narrative, and for their danceability. However, Delibes remains an obscure figure in music history, outside the musical canon of the nineteenth century. Likewise, his ballet music, whose harmonic resources are conventional and whose forms are variants of basic structures, has not received much scholarly and theoretical attention. This thesis addresses Delibes’s music by examining his ballet score for Coppélia, its support of narrative and also its support of dance. Chapter 1 begins with a historical view of ballet and ballet music up to the time of Delibes. Following a biographical sketch of the composer, a review of aspects of the score for Giselle by his mentor, Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) establishes a background upon which Delibes’s ballets can be considered.
