  • Young Dancer Taking Leap Into World of Professional Ballet Vancouver Native Eyeing the Crown at International Contest
    Young dancer taking leap into world of professional ballet Vancouver native eyeing the crown at international contest Vancouver native Derek Drilon, currently between gigs with the Joffrey and Boston Ballet companies, will dance with his home school, Northwest Classical Ballet, on June 18. (Courtesy of Northwest Classical Ballet) By Scott Hewitt, Columbian Arts & Features Reporter Published: June 10, 2016, 6:04 AM It’s good to be the prince. “I like playing princely roles. It feels pretty natural to me,” said Derek Drilon, 19. That makes sense. At age 19, the Vancouver native recently assumed a position of young royalty in the largest international dance competition in the world. The Youth America Grand Prix draws thousands of aspiring ballet dancers to regional semi- final competitions in cities all over the world, where professional judges evaluate each dancer’s performance, potential and artistry. Finalists are invited to New York City for the final contest, with prizes of scholarship money to the world’s leading dance academies and the invaluable contacts and connections that follow. Drilon won the semi-final Grand Prix Award in Chicago and was named one of the top six men in the New York finals, for his performance of the Siegfried Variation from “Swan Lake.” In Tchaikovsky’s ballet, Prince Siegfried is enraptured with a woman who has been transformed into a swan — but then falls under the spell of a pretender, with tragic consequences. The prince’s famously expressive solo dance, as he considers his predicament and his passion, require great power and artistry. Comedy is a whole different challenge.

    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Chekhov's Names 71 Creature-The Sea Gull," 14 As Nina Used to Be
    Chekhov's Nam.es JOHN P. PAULS The funny names, the droll expressions, the comic phrases he invented have passed into Russian speech ... 1 THE MASTERFUL AUTHOR of provincial frustration, A.P. Chekhov (1860-1904), regarded his unique lyrical plays of inaction as comedies, including his last masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard (1904). Yet, some American critics recently wrote of Uncle Vanya (1897), which Chekhov himself described as only "scenes from country life," as being "totally tragic." 2 Perhaps this superficial inconsistency could be answered by the casual yet valid statement of Slonim: And while the young humorist yielded to his gaiety, the mature writer evinced a melancholy tolerance of human frailties. 3 As in real life, so in Chekhov's plays, the comic goes hand in hand with the tragic, so well manifested earlier in Gogol's works ("laughter through tears"). Generally speaking, Chekhov's characters, though often pathetic, lack the dignity and stature of traditional tragic characters. They are frequently a mixture of pity and sympathetic ridicule, and can hardly qualify as being truly tragic. 4 The basic theme of Chekhov's subtle dramas is that the life of the provincial neurotic intelligentsia is dull, boring and frustrating, especially in view of the fact· that the characters lack the inner resources to escape the trifles of life, and to make their existence more rewarding. There is little excitement in routine work, in playing cards out of boredom, in bickering with the family, or in drinking vodka out of frustration.
