II, The Four Temperaments, and In the Upper Room will show at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing of Miami-Dade (1300 Biscayne Blvd.) on Friday, October 17 at 8p.m.; Saturday, October 18 at 8p.m.; and Sunday, October 19 at 2p.m.. The Company Premiere of George Balanchine’s version of Swan Lake Act II opens Miami City Ballet’s season. In 1951, Balanchine choreographed his own version of the classical dance for the New York City Ballet, at that time only three years old. The Company needed a hit, and this Swan Lake Act II filled the bill, giving Maria Tallchief one of her most triumphant roles and remaining a staple of the repertory for many decades. Balanchine stripped it of its conventional mime sequences in order to emphasize and expand the role of the corps de ballet, incorporating the highly dramatic music Tchaikovsky had written for the end of the final act to create a thrilling finale. Over the succeeding years, he added, subtracted, modified – at one point, for instance, removing the famous four Cygnets and adding the Valse Bluette for twelve swan maidens – but his overall conception remained the same. Balanchine’s Swan Lake, although still a sublime vehicle for a ballerina, is less a highly romantic story than a meditation on love, loss, pure dance and, of course, the music of Tchaikovsky. Swan Lake Act II was staged for Miami City ballet by Maria Calegari a former principal dancer with New York City Ballet who now sets ballets for the George Balanchine Trust. Also showing on this program is Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments set to music by Hindemith. He created the ballet in 1946, for the opening program of Ballet Society, the forerunner of New York City Ballet. It is one of his earliest experimental works, fusing classical steps with a lean and angular style. The ballet is inspired by the medieval belief that human beings are made up of four different humors that determine a person's temperament. (MORE) One of contemporary choreographer Twyla Tharp’s most popular works , In the Upper Room, is also featured on this program. The dance is a one-act ballet filled with power, energy and speed. A kind of ballet and modern dance face-off, the work features some dancers on pointe and others in sneakers. Set to music by Philip Glass a cast of 13 performers dance through smoke and light and thrill audiences with what Tharp describes as “fierce, driving, and relentless moves” that “burn the retina.” A pre-performance talk by Edward Villella and/or his artistic staff will be conducted, free to the ticketed audience 55 minutes prior to curtain in the theater. Tickets are available at the Miami City Ballet Box Office, 2200 Liberty Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139, and range from $175-$19. The Box Office toll free number is (877) 929-7010 or go to www.miamicityballet.org.

The room darkens, and colored spotlights flash out of control. The disturbance, it turns out, is caused by the landing of a time machine with a surprise passenger aboard. Louis XIV, fresh from the seventeenth century, has arrived smack-dab in the middle of Lincoln Center’s Clark Studio Theater just in time to preside over an introduction to ballet presented by the New York City Ballet Education Department. Ballet, much to the king’s surprise, has changed radically since his dancing days over 300 years ago.

    NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 7, NO. 1 (2020) 75th Anniversary Gala of New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ Jerome Robbins Dance Division On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts celebrated the Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th anniversary with a unique gala that raised more than $723,000 in critical funds that will help the division document, collect, and preserve the history of dance and provide free services and programs for all. More than 200 dance-loving attendees moved through the Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center viewing site-specific movement pieces cre- ated specifically for the occasion by Ephrat Asherie, The Bang Group, Jean Butler, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Heidi Latsky, Michelle Manzanales, Rajika Puri, and Pam Tanowitz. Staged in unexpected spaces (among the stacks, on reading room tables, through hallways, and on stairways), these brief performances fea- tured dancers including Chelsea Ainsworth, Chris Bloom, Jason Collins, Shelby Colona, Lindsey Jones, Jeffrey Kazin, Victor Lozano, Aishwarya Madhav, Georgina Pazcoguin, Nic Petry, Jaclyn Rea, Tommy Seibold, Amber Sloan, Gretchen Smith, Leslie Taub, Melissa Toogood, and Peter Trojic. The evening’s performances culminated in the Library’s Bruno Walter Auditorium with an excerpt from Jerome Robbins’ Other Dances, featuring American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Sarah Lane and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Gonzalo Garcia. Jerome Robbins originally created the work in 1976 for a fundraiser to support the Library. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th Anniversary Gala was chaired by Caroline Cronson & The Jerome Robbins Foundation.

  • DANCE for a CITY: FIFTY YEARS of the NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999
    DANCE FOR A CITY: FIFTY YEARS OF THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET New-York Historical Society Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola April 20 - August 15, 1999 The labels, wall texts, and reflections complement the volume Dance for a City: Fifty Years of the New York City Ballet published by Columbia University Press in 1999. Edited by Lynn Garafola, with Eric Foner, and including essays by Thomas Bender, Sally Banes, Charles M. Joseph, Richard Sennett, Jonathan Weinberg, and Nancy Reynolds, the book, unlike most exhibition catalogues, does not include a checklist. In revisiting this material, I wanted to evoke the experience of walking through six large galleries on the ground floor of the New-York Historical Society, with the reader enjoying by suggestion and as an act of imagination the numerous objects on display tracing the long history of the New York City Ballet. As I prepare this for publication on the Columbia University Academic Commons nearly two decades after the exhibition was dismantled, I thank once again the many lenders who made it possible. I also remain deeply grateful to the exhibition designer, Stephen Saitas, for his guidance and for creating an installation of haunting beauty.—Lynn Garafola Introductory Text Founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, the New York City Ballet is universally recognized as one of the world's outstanding dance companies. This exhibition traces its development both as an artistic and social entity. The story begins with the fateful encounter of the two men in 1933, when Kirstein, an arts maverick and patron extraordinaire, invited the twenty-nine-year-old Russian-born choreographer to establish a company and a school in the United States.

  • NEWS from the JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION Vol. 1, No. 2 (2014) Paris Opera Ballet Receives the 2014 Jerome Robbins Award
    Jerome Robbins in Paris. Photo by Jesse Gerstein. NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION Vol. 1, No. 2 (2014) Paris Opera Ballet Receives The 2014 Jerome Robbins Award In 1995, Jerome Robbins wrote to the directors of his Foundation, “I would like there to be established a prize to some really greatly outstanding person or art institution. The prizes should lean toward the arts of dance and its associative collaborators but not necessarily be defined by that surround.” In explanation, he cited many callings, from teachers and designers to choreographers and presenting organizations, enjoining the directors to award the prize only when warranted by the distinction of the person, organization, or project. The Jerome Robbins Award was most recently presented to the Paris Opera Ballet at a reception on June 19, 2014 at the Palais Garnier in Paris. Jerome Robbins enjoyed a close relationship with the Paris Opera Ballet, which he often described as his second artistic home (after New York City Ballet). Since Robbins first presented his works at the Palais Garnier in 1974, the com- pany has had 14 of his ballets in its repertory. The presentation of the 2014 Jerome Robbins Award was preceded by a performance of Robbins’ ballet, Dances at a Gathering. The award was presented to Brigitte Lefèvre, the director of the Paris Opera Ballet, on behalf of the Company. (Upon Ms. Lefèvre’s retirement in October, 2014, Benjamin Millepied, former New York City Ballet principal dancer, became the new director.) At the reception, Ms. Lefèvre accepted the award — a statue of a sailor from Jerome Robbins’ ballet, Fancy Free, sculpted by Robin Heidi Kennedy.

    NEW YORK STORY: JEROME ROBBINS AND HIS WORLD Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Exhibition Curated by Lynn Garafola March 25 – June 28, 2008 The labels, wall exits, and reflections that follow are an effort to revisit an exhibition that did not, alas, have a published catalogue or a robust website. Exhibitions are like performances. When they close, they are dismantled, and the objects, their magic gone, sent back to their boxes. In revisiting this material, I wanted to evoke the experience of walking through the Donald and Mary Oenslager Gallery of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, with the reader enjoying by suggestion and as an act of imagination the numerous objects on display tracing the remarkable career of Jerome Robbins as an artist of the ballet, Broadway, and concert stage in mid-twentieth-century New York. This is the second of three exhibitions I have curated about ballet in New York City from the 1930s to the late twentieth century. As such it complements Dance for a City: Fifty Years of the New York City Ballet (New-York Historical Society, 1999) and Arthur Mitchell: Harlem’s Ballet Trailblazer (Wallach Art Gallery, 2018). To revisit these exhibitions digitally, see “Dance for a City” Revisited (https://academiccommons.columbia.edu/catalog/ac:qrfj6q5763) and the Mitchell exhibition website (https://exhibitions.library.columbia.edu/exhibits/show/mitchell). In preparing this material for publication on the Columbia University Commons, I have modified some of the labels, adding explanatory text when it seemed necessary as well as excerpts from letters and telegrams that exhibition visitors could read for themselves.
