Der Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil Herzlich Willkommen Zur GALA 2016 Der Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil der Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil Herzlich Willkommen zur GALA 2016 der Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil im Forum am Schlosspark Ludwigsburg 11., 12. und 13. November 2016 Liebe Freunde und Förderer der Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil, verehrtes, liebes Publikum, „Wenn das Leben keine Vision hat, nach der man sich sehnt, dann gibt es auch kein Motiv sich anzustrengen.“ Diese Worte des im März 2016 verstorbenen Lothar Späth, der 20 Jahre lang Vorsitzender des Kuratoriums meiner Tanzstiftung war, könnten als Motto über den Biografien aller Künstlerinnen und Künstler stehen, die heute Abend für Sie auftreten werden. Der Tanz – in seiner Geschichte und Vielseitigkeit eine der faszinierendsten Kunstformen überhaupt – ist für große Stars internationaler Compagnien wie auch für Studierende Lebensinhalt und in seiner Perfektion zugleich ein nahezu uner - reichbares Ideal, für das sie tagtäglich hart und mit absoluter Hingabe arbeiten. Welch eine große Verantwortung, aber auch welch ein beglückendes Geschenk ist es für mich in meiner Stiftungsarbeit, den hoffnungsvollen Begabten bei diesem Prozess fördernd zur Seite stehen zu können, ihnen das weitergeben zu können, was ich selbst als Tänzerin an Unterstützung und Wissen erfahren habe. Und welch eine Freude, dass heute Abend versierte Profis ihren enormen Erfahrungsschatz mit ihren jungen Kollegen auf der Bühne teilen werden! Nachdem wir 2015 im Schauspielhaus der Staatstheater Stuttgart das 20jähri - ge Jubiläum der Tanzstiftung gefeiert haben, ist die Gala im Forum am Schlosspark Ludwigsburg dieses Jahr dem Andenken Lothar Späths gewidmet. Ohne seine visionäre Entschlossenheit, seine Intuition und seine bedingungslose Liebe zur Kunst und insbesondere zum Tanz hätte die Stiftung niemals ihre Arbeit aufnehmen können. Seit nunmehr über zwei Jahrzehnten setzt sie sich nachhaltig dafür ein, was Lothar Späth ein Herzensanliegen war: das Kostbare der Vergangenheit an zukünftige Generationen weiterzureichen und Räume für die Kreativität und Neugier des begabten Nachwuchses zu schaffen! Mein herzlicher Dank gilt allen Förderern und Sponsoren, die nicht nur diese Gala ermöglicht haben, sondern vor allem durch ihr kontinuierliches Engagement so vielen jungen Talenten den Weg in eine erfolgreiche professio - nelle Karriere freimachen. Nun wünsche ich allen Mitwirkenden ein großes Toi toi toi und uns allen eine inspirierende und kurzweilige Reise in die fantastische Welt des Tanzes. Herzlichst, Ihre 3 Mit seiner visionären Entschlossenheit führte er die TANZSTIFTUNG BIRGIT KEIL zum nachhaltigen Erfolg: der Vorsitzende des Kuratoriums von 1995 bis 2015, Ministerpräsident a. D.

Dies wird nicht zuletzt durch Birgit Keils künstlerisches Wirken offensichtlich. Birgit Keil feierte als legendäre Ballerina des Stuttgarter Balletts international einzigartige Erfolge und prägt heute mit ihrem einmaligen künstlerischen Gespür als Ballettdirektorin und Pädagogin auf höchstem Niveau die internationale Tanzwelt nachhaltig. Warum tanzen? Dafür findet jede brillante Tänzerin, jeder einzelne herausragende Tänzer seine ganz eigene und persönliche Sprache. Birgit Keil hat das in ihrer aktiven Zeit als Tänzerin durch zeitlos gültige künstlerische Abende eindrucksvoll bewiesen. Und darüber hinaus hat sich Birgit Keil eine Institution erdacht, welche die Notwendigkeit des Tanzes für die Zukunft aufzeigt: 1995 hat Birgit Keil zusammen mit Marchesa Maddalena Mina di Sospiro die Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil zur Förderung junger Tanztalente gegründet. Diese ein - malige Einrichtung ermöglicht dem hochbegabten tänzerischen Nachwuchs auf dem Gebiet des klassischen Balletts, des modernen Tanzes und des aktuellen Tanztheaters inspirierende künstlerische Begegnungen mit den großen Choreografen der Gegenwart. Eine ganz besondere Beziehung zwischen Tanzstiftung und Forum am Schlosspark währt nun schon sehr lange – ein Glücksfall für die Stadt Ludwigsburg: Die Ballettgala im Forum am Schlosspark produziert die Tanzstiftung Birgit Keil als herausragendes Tanz-Ereignis seit vielen Jahren in Kooperation mit der Stadt Ludwigsburg. Zum zweiten Mal darf ich dabei die Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele als Kooperationspartner begrüßen, deren Orchester die Ballettgala musikalisch begleiten wird. Zur diesjährigen Ballettgala im Forum am Schlosspark heiße ich herzlich willkommen die hochtalentierten jungen Tänzerinnen und Tänzer, denen ich bei ihrem Auftritt in Ludwigsburg einen wichtigen Impuls für ihre weiteren Karrieren wünsche, sowie die Weltstars des American Ballet Theatre New York, Wiener Staatsballetts, Estonian National Ballet, vom Staatsballett Karlsruhe und vielen weiteren. Den Gönnern danke ich sehr für die großzügige Unterstützung, die zur Ermöglichung der Ballettgala beiträgt. Sie machen sich durch

  • Throw Together a Night of Performances by International
    Throw together a night of performances by international dancers, sprinkle in some teenage competition winners’ solos, and call it something cute: That would seem to be the recipe for Youth America Grand Prix’s “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” gala, happening this Thursday and Friday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Except, the name of this annual program is eerily prescient. When you look back at the lists of YAGP medalists from the past 15 years, that “Stars of Tomorrow” moniker is spot-on. They read like something of a Who’s Who of ballet—including several top names who’ve been highlighted in Dance Magazine. Back in 2002, Sarah Lane nabbed the senior bronze medal with an unforgettable performance: After her music stopped 20 seconds into her Paquita variation, she finished the rest in silence. In the audience (which erupted into a spontaneous standing ovation) was American Ballet Theatre artistic director Kevin McKenzie. We ended up putting Lane onDance Magazine‘s cover in June 2007 just before he promoted her to soloist. Jim Nowakowski won the Youth Grand Prix in 2002 before joining Houston Ballet, then took a star turn on “So You Think You Can Dance.” We named him one of Dance Magazine‘s “25 to Watch” this year. That same year, Brooklyn Mack placed third in the classical dance category for senior men. Today, he’s a standout dancer at The Washington Ballet, and partnered Misty Copeland in her first U.S. performance of Swan Lake. Hee Seo took the Grand Prix in 2003.

  • A Study of Korean Phonology and Morphology in a Derivational Approach
    Ecology of PF: A Study of Korean Phonology and Morphology in a Derivational Approach Inkie Chung, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2007 This dissertation studies the component of PF, i.e., morphology, phonology and phonetics, in Korean in a consistently derivational approach. Using phonological arguments and an acoustic phonetic study, chapter 2 identifies the surface syllable structure. It also recognizes the two syllable structure constraints: the complex onset constraint and the branching nucleus constraint. Using this syllable structure and these constraints, chapter 3 provides a comprehensive analysis of hiatus in verbal morphology and related issues within Calabrese’s (1995, 2002a) Dynamic Phonology framework. A limited number of actual outcomes for similar hiatus configurations show that the constraint-induced repairs are not finite but limited, and subject to the general principle of economy. It is shown that economy chooses shorter derivations over longer ones, when more than one derivation is possible and yield the same final outcome. It also show's that the hiatus constraint is a non-surface, cyclic constraint, operating once per morphophonological cycle. Furthermore, it argues that certain phonological operations must be described with the traditional rule-like formalism. It is also pointed out that the syllable structure constraints identified in chapter 2 are surface constraints. Chapters 4 and 5 provide a morphological study in Distributed Morphology (Bobaljik 2000, Halle and Marantz 1993, Marantz 2006) With verbal and adjectival roots exhibiting negative and honorific suppletion, these chapters identify the morphological structure of the inflected predicates (and hence phrase structure to a certain extent) in Korean. It identifies the paradoxical situation arising from the interaction of negative Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • 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.
