  • Nutcracker Program 2014Opt.Pdf
    Nutcrackerthe SEISKAYA BALLET Nutcrackerthe Casse Noisette Early in 1891 the legendary composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky received a commission from the Imperial Theatre Directorate at St. Petersburg to compose a one-act lyric opera together with a ballet for presentation during the following season. Accepting Tchaikovsky’s choice of sub- ject for the opera, the Theatre Directorate selected Alexandre Dumas’ French adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, for the ballet. Tchaikovsky was not pleased with the subject selection because he felt it did not lend itself to theatrical presentation and was therefore quite unsuited to serve as a scenario for a ballet. Both the opera and ballet were presented on December 18, 1892. The ballet, conducted by Ric- cardo Drigo, was received somewhat unfavorably. Dance historians have attributed this to the Nutcracker’s unusual story, which was quite different from the romantic tales normally presented. The Nutcracker choreography was begun by the redoubtable Marius Petipa. The balance of the work was taken up by his assistant Leon Ivanov when Petipa fell ill. According to historical accounts, when the ballet was finally produced, Petipa refused to have his name linked with it, feeling his own part in its creation was insufficient to be publicly announced. However, dance historians have recognized his contribu- tion, and the original choreography is generally credited to both Petipa and Ivanov. First presented in Western Europe by the Sadler’s Wells Ballet at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, January 30, 1934, the production was staged by Nicholas Sergeyev after the original Petipa-Ivanov version.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday 21 June 2016 SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
    MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday 21 June 2016 SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company Horses in the Sky "... The committed performance of the cast and the purity of the choreography will win you over." The New York Times Leading Israeli dance company premieres new work at Sydney Opera House In 1973, the year the Sydney Opera House opened, Yehudit Arnon founded a dance company renowned for its daring, spirit and intensity. Arnon’s motivation for founding the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company could not have been more visceral. At Auschwitz she had been punished by Nazi soldiers for refusing to dance for them at Christmas. Surviving the camp, she dedicated her life to dance. Four decades on, the acclaimed company will make its Sydney debut at the Opera House, premiering a blistering new work, Horses In The Sky, from 31 August to 3 September. The late Holocaust survivor’s company is now in the hands of dynamic artistic director Rami Be’er, who was born at Kibbutz Ga’aton in northern Israel, the company’s home. Renowned for his work with leading dance companies across the world, Be’er took the reins of the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company in 1996. Horses in the Sky delivers a distinctive style of dance with gritty, exuberant and raw movements creating fast-flowing visions of unusual beauty , in a work that Be’er describes as “bringing together dreams and a sense of impending apocalypse”. Featuring 16 exceptional dancers Horses In The Sky is accompanied by a driving, eclectic soundtrack that includes Björk, Olafur Arnalds and Tim Hecker, creating a darkly immersive, often ecstatic experience.

  • Welkom Welcome
    Welkom Welcome Sinds 1987 opent het Holland Dance Festival in 2018 voor de 16e keer een venster op de wereld van de internationale dans. Er is veel te ontdekken in ons exclusieve programma dat bijna uitsluitend bestaat uit Nederlandse primeurs: 52 voorstellingen van 20 producties uit 19 landen maken het internationale karakter en de veelzijdigheid van de dans zichtbaar. Het programma van de volgende editie is op zijn zachtst gezegd eclectisch: de introduc- tie van de op het ijs schaatsende dansers van Le Patin Libre uit Canada, de ‘Dancing Grand- mothers’ van Eun-Me Ahn uit Korea en de lang verwachte terugkomst van de legendarische Martha Graham Dance Company uit New York. Zij laten allen zien waar het Holland Dance Festival voor staat: de verassende diversiteit van de dans. Als er naar de bezoekersaantallen van de Nederlandse dansinstellingen — waaronder het Holland Dance Festival — gekeken wordt, kunnen we constateren dat dans ongekend populair is, en niet alleen bij een publiek van danskenners. Het Holland Dance Festival wil graag een bijdrage leveren aan het vergroten en versterken van deze voor Nederland zo kenmerkende kunstvorm zonder taalbarrières. Met deze gedachte is het festivalprogramma 2018 tot stand gekomen: liefde voor de dans, oog voor hoge kwaliteit, vernieuwing en verras- sing. Het enige wat u hoeft te doen is: genieten! For the 16th time since 1987, the Holland Dance Festival opens a window to the world of internati- onal dance. There is much to discover for Dutch audiences in the exclusive program of first-time presentations: 52 performances of 20 productions from 19 different countries illustrate the interna- tionality and diversity of dance today.

  • Nordic Countries
    2017 THE NORDIC COUNTRIES MADE IN 2017 NO BORDERS We in the arts can take centre stage and show that the ability to collaborate is one of the finest things in humanity, and is crucial for our survival. The Nordic countries have a long-standing tradition of working together, and the MADE IN project, its catalogue and website, is a small yet great example of that. Artists, leaders and promoters in the performing arts from five countries have come together to jointly present their information on what they are all doing right now and in the near future. This is the fifth edition, and for the first time, we’ve decided not to list the catalogue by country, as we chose to fully commit to our manifesto for no borders between Nordic performing arts organisations. You are all welcome to start your communication with any of us, as in front of you is a network of fearless artists not unlike their Viking ancestors.
