Falling (In Love) is a world premiere. That means it is a work of dance art that is being presented for the very first time, often within weeks or even days of its completion. Sometimes a choreographer will make more changes and additions to the work right up to moments before the curtain goes up on opening night! This would be the same as editing a term paper right up until moments before you hand it in. A program, sometimes called a playbill, is handed out to the audience when they enter the theater to take their seats. It is an historical record of the dance concert and is the place to look to find the order of dances and who is dancing. It includes articles about the dance company, information about key personnel, historical notes, advertisements and a list of donors who contribute financial support to the company. Program notes for Never Stop Falling (In Love) are listed above. This takes the place of a program at the theater.

Working what it is through a wonderfully collaborative to create this journey day after day with the dancers, and inspiring process. The initial idea of creating first in Pioneer Square and in this rainy last little while a ballet to Pink Martini, a band I’d heard of at the OBT studios, has been one of the most joy-filled but never actually heard, was stimulating but also processes I have ever had. My heartfelt thanks to all the daunting. However, as soon as I began to listen to entire company and indeed to all the staff as well: there the songs I heard the unapologetic euphoria in the have been a lot of people working on this ballet right from arrangements and the gorgeous vocals of the group; the start. My thanks as well to the designers who have I found myself imagining a kind of Hotel of Love, a turned my vision of a Hotel of Love into an actual place place where delirium, hope, disillusion, and of course and time, Michelle Lesniak and Michael Mazzola, their romance, are all intertwined. Thomas Lauderdale has vivid imaginations and their creative sparks have really been an incredibly generous collaborator—he threw helped to ignite the flame of this work. Ultimately,Never open his entire canon of work, as it truly was his wish Stop Falling (In Love) is a celebration created in honor that I find my voice through it. And when I did, we both of Oregon Ballet Theatre’s 25th Anniversary, discovered a shared desire to create an experience and I am honored to be able to say “Happy unlike any other—not a ballet to Pink Martini’s Anniversary” with this work. greatest hits, not a Pink Martini concert with some Left to Right: Choreographer Nicolo Fonte, Martina Chavez and Brett Bauer, Nicolo Fonte with Colby Parsons in rehearsal at OBT Exposed (August 2014, Director Park) for the world premiere of Never Stop Falling (In Love). Photos by Blaine Truitt Covert. Nicolo Fonte met the dancers and began rehearsals for his new work at Pioneer Courthouse Square at the end of August during OBT’s annual weeklong event, OBT Exposed. OBT Exposed is a time for thousands of people in our community to freely get up close to the process of art in the making as OBT dancers take their daily class and rehearse in the open air on a portable stage. While the sun was beautiful, it was at times scorching hot and some days were in the high 90’s. Some of the dancers reported that their shoes melted on the hot floor and some who forgot to wear socks with their ballet slippers got blisters from the very hot floor.

Il s’agit d’une œuvre complète, qui illustre l’appétit créatif de Thomas Lauderdale, fondateur du groupe, depuis 15 ans: en plus d’of- frir une perspective originale sur le passé d’un groupe devenu aujourd’hui incontournable, elle comprend 7 morceaux inédits (dont «Moon River», en duo avec Gus Van Sant). Savant mé- lange de sonorités et de cultures de tous horizons, la musique de Pink Martini est un cocktail à déguster sans modération. L’aventure Pink Martini débute en 1994, dans l’Oregon. Origi- nellement centré autour de Thomas M. Lauderdale et China Forbes, le groupe aux inspirations et collaborations multiples chante en anglais, français, mais aussi espagnol, italien, japo- nais, croate… Leur style musical, éclectique, passe «d’une samba digne d’une parade à Rio de Janeiro à la musique d’un cabaret français des années 30 ou d’un palais napolitain, un peu comme une sorte de voyage musical urbain», d’après les mots de Thomas Lauderdale. «On essaye de créer une sorte de char- mant environnement musical, dont on peut augmenter ou bais- ser le volume, et jouer en toute occasion, ou presque: musique d’ambiance, aventure amoureuse ou quand on passe l’aspira- teur chez soi!».

  • BIOGRAPHY in 1994 in His Hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale Was Working in Politics, Thinking That One Day He Would Run for Mayor
    BIOGRAPHY In 1994 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale was working in politics, thinking that one day he would run for mayor. Like other eager politicians-in- training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun… but was dismayed to find the music at these events underwhelming, lackluster, loud and un-neighborly. Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world – crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop – and hoping to appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, he founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks. One year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a Harvard classmate who was living in New York City, and asked her to join Pink Martini. They began to write songs together. Their first song “Sympathique” became an overnight sensation in France, was nominated for “Song of the Year” at France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards, and to this day remains a mantra (“Je ne veux pas travailler” or “I don’t want to work”) for striking French workers. Says Lauderdale, “We’re very much an American band, but we spend a lot of time abroad and therefore have the incredible diplomatic opportunity to represent a broader, more inclusive America… the America which remains the most heterogeneously populated country in the world… composed of people of every country, every language, every religion.” Featuring a dozen musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America.

Prior to the concert, the FAC invites ticket-holders to celebrate the opening of its season with a free dessert party on the plaza with live entertainment and a cash bar featuring the signature cocktail, you guessed it, a pink martini. This 12-member "little orchestra" draws inspiration from pounding Cuban beats and the heart-wrenching tunes of smoky Paris nightclubs. It is an unpredictable ensemble that joins a variety of musical styles and performs "music of the world without being world music," consistently mixing melodies and rhythms from around the world to create something fresh and new. In describing his band, Lauderdale remarked, "(We) draw inspiration from the romantic Hollywood musicals of the 1940s or ‘50s with a more global perspective.
