Performing Artists and Choreographers of the Wake Forest Dance Festival 2018 PERFORMING ARTISTS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS OF THE WAKE FOREST DANCE FESTIVAL 2018 JOSÉ LIMÓN (Founder of the José Limón Dance Company/Choreographer, 1908-1972) electrified the world with his dynamic masculine dancing and dramatic choreography. One of the 20th century’s most important and influential dance makers, he spent his career pioneering a new art form and fighting for its recognition. Born in Culiacán, Mexico in 1908, he moved to California in 1915, and in 1928 came to New York where he saw his first dance program. Limón enrolled in Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman’s dance school and performed in several of their works from 1930 to 1940. In 1946, with Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, Limón formed his own company. His company was a major force of 20th century (and now 21st century) dance.,distinguishing itself as the first dance group to tour internationally under the auspices of the State Department and the first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, as well as performing twice at The White House. Thematically, José Limón possessed a social awareness that transcended distinct groups to address how we all search for commonality, earning him a special place in American culture. With their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life, his works continue to influence the evolution of the art form more than 50 years after his passing. The José Limón Dance Foundation, encompassing the Company and the educational and licensing Institute, was awarded a 2008 National Medal of the Arts, the nation’s highest honor for artistic excellence. Limón created a total of seventy-four works, including The Moor’s Pavane, Concerto Grosso, andMissa Brevis. PEDRO RUIZ was trained in his native country, Cuba and in Venezuela, Mr. Ruiz choreographed three celebrated ballets while a principal dancer with Ballet Hispanico for twenty-one years. Choreography credits include: The Joffrey Ballet, Luna Negra, New Jersey Ballet, The Tribeca PA C, The Jacob's Pillow Festival, The Marymount College, the Ailey/Fordham B.F.A. Program, Ailey’s Spring Celebration and Summer Sizzler concerts. He is on the dance faculty of Marymount College, the staff of The Ailey School and Scarsdale Ballet. Awards include: the Bessie Award, the Choo-San Goh Award, The Cuban Artist’s Fund, and The Joyce Foundation Award to create a new work for The Joffrey.

  • Passing of Lawrence Rhodes
    PASSING OF LAWRENCE RHODES Montreal, March 29, 2019 – It was with enormous sadness that Les Grands Ballets learned last night of the death of Lawrence Rhodes (1939-2019), artistic director of the company from 1989 to 1999. A native of Mount Hope, West Virginia, he danced with several companies (including Ballet russe de Monte-Carlo, Robert Joffrey Ballet, Harkness Ballet, Het National Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet). He could be seen dancing with Les Grands Ballets in 1977, before his appointment as artistic director in 1989, a position he filled for ten years. His desire at the time was to “combine the classical-ballet tradition with the renewal of choreographic language.”1 Under his direction, Les Grands Ballets opened up to new esthetic streams, for the first time inviting to the company some of the greatest choreographers of the day: Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, William Forsythe and Montrealer Édouard Lock, among them. “Larry was generous and fair,” remembers Pierre Lapointe, principal ballet master at Les Grands Ballets since 1989. “He had a teaching and dance style that allowed for great freedom. His favorite sentence was ‘Just do it.’” From 2002 to 2017, Lawrence Rhodes served as artistic director of the Dance Division at New York’s prestigious Juilliard School. Les Grands Ballets wishes to offer its sincere condolences to Lawrence Rhodes’s relatives, friends and collaborators, as well as to the entire dance community, who are losing in him a dancer, an artistic director and a teacher who left his mark on his time. With his leaving, a page in Grands Ballets history is turning as well.
