Weltco thoe Nmantue cket Atheneum Dance Festival!

July 2010

For 176 years the Atheneum has enriched our island community by providing top quality library services and programs. This year we served more than 182, 000 people through our active circulation of books, CDs, and DVDs, our reference/information services and our wide range of cultural and educational programs for adults and youth.

In keeping with our long-standing tradition of educational and cultural programming, the Nantucket Atheneum is very excited to bring this superlative dance experience to Nantucket for a third summer. This year’s program brings to our island a magical combination of classical and modern music, and choreography with the world’s best dancers from and Ballet under the masterful artistic direction of Benjamin Millepied. As a special treat this year three of the pieces in the program feature live music. In addition, we are pleased to offer a number of free, community outreach events during this week: a Children’s Performance, a Lecture Demonstration led by Mr. Millepied, two dance films, and two youth master dance classes.

Although the Nantucket Atheneum is a public library, it receives limited funding from government sources.

We wish to express our deepest appreciation to our corporate sponsors Northern Trust and Sentient Jet and to our individual sponsors of the Atheneum Dance Festival who are listed in this program. And finally we wish to thank our amazing Dance Festival Committee for its hard work and tireless commitment to bringing this exciting festival to our community.

Tschaikovsky Music by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky, From (1876) Choreography by Costumes by Karinska Lighting by Mark Stanley Coached by Benjamin Millepied

Maria Riccetto Blaine Hoven

An eight-minute display of ballet bravura and technique, Tschaikovsky Pa s de Deux uses music that the composer belatedly created for Act III of Swan Lake. It was hurriedly composed for Anna Sobeshchanskaya, a Bolshoi prima ballerina who was scheduled to make her debut in the title role at the fourth performance of the 1877 Moscow production, and sought to enrich the part of Odile. Because the music was not in the original score, it was not published with the rest of Swan Lake, and disappeared for more than half a century. When it was discovered in the Bolshoi Theater archives in 1953, Balanchine sought — and was granted — permission to use it for his own choreography.

Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky (1840-1893) studied at the Conservatory in St. Petersburg, where Balanchine later studied piano in addition to his studies in dance. Tschaikovsky is one of the most popular and influential of all romantic composers. His work is expressive, melodic, grand in scale, with rich orchestrations. His output was prodigious and included chamber works, symphonies, concerti for various instruments, operas and works for the piano. His creations for the ballet, composed in close partnership with , include Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty.

The work had its world premiere on March 29, 1960 at the New York City Center of Music and Drama danced by the principals and Conrad Ludlow. The work entered the repertoire of American Ballet Theatre on August 11, 1970 at the Santander Festival in Spain.

The performance of , a Balanchine Ballet ®, is presented by arrangement with The George Balanchine Trust and has been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style ® and the Balanchine Technique ® Service Standards established and provided by the Trust.

NANTUCKET ATHENEUM DANCE FESTIVAL 2010 By Joseph Carman

In his second season as Artistic Director of the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival, New York City and choreographer Benjamin Millepied continues his mission to produce a program of musical elegance and choreographic sophistication. He has praised the presenters and the audience as “very conscientious, very smart ballet lovers” and has expressed appreciation that he has “carte blanche” to create an evening of to his own tastes. This year’s program, performed by 16 dancers from New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, showcases choreography by Jerome Robbins, Christopher Wheeldon, George Balanchine and Kenneth MacMillan. It also features live music, too often a rarity in dance programming these days.

The legendary Jerome Robbins provided a significant amount of mentoring to Millepied, who danced in many of his ballets and absorbed many of the master’s great attributes: his ingenious musical phrasing, the tricky craft of moving dancers through space and his omnipresent sense of theatricality. Two of the works on the program, A Suite of Dances and Other Dances, are miniature gems from the Robbins repertory. Both were originally choreographed on Mikhail Baryshnikov.

A solo accompanied by a cellist, A Suite of Dances features Robbins signature , such as his fascination with the conjunction of pedestrian and classical ballet vocabulary. “This piece is very Robbins in that it has the kind of specific quality of Jerry’s work. It’s very natural—as if you are improvising,” says Millepied, who will be dancing the solo. Simple in form, yet eloquent in style, the choreography evolves from slower, swinging moves to a grand polonaise to an energetic, virtuosic conclusion with steps that vary in speed and distance.

The solo utilizes four movements from Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello (1720).

Bach wrote the music when he served as Kapellmeister in Cöthen. Characterized by its warmth and intimacy, the music was popularized by Pablo Casals after studying and recording it. A Suite of Dances, choreographed by Robbins in 1994, was one of the last ballets he made before his death in 1997. Robbins contacted Baryshnikov to say that he had “an idea for a little dance.” The dancer and the cellist act in tandem to create an essential partnership.

Other Dances, created in 1976 for Baryshnikov and the legendary Russian ballerina Natalia Makarova, has its roots in an earlier Robbins ballet to Chopin’s piano music, . Using four mazurkas and one waltz by Chopin, Robbins created a wonderful pas de deux that is now coveted as a showpiece by international ballet stars.

9 AtheneumDanceFestCovers10:AtheneumDanceFestivalCovers10 7/15/10 4:36 PM Page 10

In the beginning of the duet, the steps take the form of a warm conversation between two people who seemingly know each other well. The choreography alludes to Slavic folk steps and unadorned gestures. Each dancer performs two solos. For the man, the first solo is explosive with breathtaking jumps; the second variation is more muted and introspective. The ballerina engages in one solo, where she darts like a bird, changing directions. For her second solo, she dreamily and languorously stretches her lines into space as if to joyfully experience the full magnitude of her surroundings. During the energetic coda, they both romp flirtatiously to a lively mazurka.

Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux was choreographed by Balanchine in the traditional classical ballet form of duet, and coda. Its popularity stems from its succinct celebration of lyricism and bravura technique. The music, rediscovered in the Bolshoi Theater archives in 1953, was composed by Tchaikovsky as additional music for Swan Lake. In many ways, Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux capitalizes on gutsy Russian flourish as synthesized through American athleticism and musicality.

MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet tells Shakespeare’s touching story through the lens of British theatricality and purebred Royal Ballet classicism. The Romeo and Juliet Balcony Pas de Deux is often excerpted as the pivotal scene in which the protagonists declare their unbridled passion through vertiginous partnering, tender moments, and breathtaking lifts. The pas de deux tests the artistry and finesse of the finest dancer/actors.

Christopher Wheeldon, even at the young age of 37, has been recognized as one of the most sought-after and influential ballet choreographers today. He describes Polyphonia, premiered by New York City Ballet in 2001, as “romantic with comic twists.” Millepied calls it his “favorite ballet” by Wheeldon, and some claim it to be his greatest masterpiece so far. With its feet planted firmly in neoclassicism, Polyphonia grandly tackles ten disparate by Gyorgi Ligeti, fleshing out the full dynamism of plaintiveness, drama, playfulness and suspense. As the title suggests, the there are several independent yet harmonizing melodies simultaneously combined with references to composers such as Stravinsky, Debussy and Prokofiev.

The opening and closing movements evoke militaristic formations with the dancers purposefully attacking the thorniness of the music. Two pas de deux for the leading couple demonstrate choreography at its most arrestingly original with breathtaking, off-balance lifts and tenderly intertwined partnering. The juxtaposition of the astringency of contemporary ballet vocabulary and the subtext of human emotions add up to a truly singular experience.

This year’s program represents the best qualities of ballet: intelligent choreography, brilliant musicality and world-class dancing. It can be appreciated by ballet veterans or first-timers alike. This is ballet on an intimate scale but with great aspirations.

Joseph Carman is a Contributing Editor to Dance Magazine and the author of Round About the Ballet, which features a chapter on Benjamin Millepied.
