  • The Joffrey Ballet's 10 New Ballet Dancers Span Six Countries

    The Joffrey Ballet's 10 New Ballet Dancers Span Six Countries

    The Joffrey Ballet’s 10 new ballet dancers span six countries, including Russia, South Korea, and Colombia. Their ages range from 19 to 26. Mixed backgrounds and ages aside, they're now all united by one thread: Joffrey Artistic Director Ashley Wheater saw something in each that helped them make the cut among several hundred applicants. “I happen to agree with Robert Joffrey that a dancer doesn’t come with one look or one skin color and I think a true dancer comes in all different shapes and sizes,” said the Scottish-born Wheater. “When I look at the company, it’s just such a beautiful tapestry of people.” In assembling the diverse group, Wheater – who joined Joffrey just before the death of founding artistic director Gerald Arpino – stays in line with past choices of the company, which, under Arpino, embraced both atypical ballet bodies and bold, plot-less ballets. Founded by Robert Joffrey and Arpino in 1956, the Chicago company touts itself as a school of “firsts” – the first classical dance company to commission a ballet based on rock music, the first to have a major motion picture based on it (Robert Altman’s The Company), and the first U.S. ballet company to livestream video of a rehearsal on YouTube. Joffrey’s most recent addition reflects young dancers who must contend with their own newly emerging public identities almost as readily as they practice their turnout. Last year, Valeriia Chaykina, a dancer from Russia, was cast in an ongoing series from Teen Vogue. In 2011, Colombian-born Joan Sebastián Zamora starred in the documentary First Position, which followed six young ballet dancers preparing for New York City’s Youth American Grand Prix, one of the world’s largest ballet competitions.

Photography Branco Gaica Luke Ingham and Miwako Kubota. Photography Branco Gaica 4 COPPÉLIA NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dame Peggy van Praagh’s fingerprints are on everything we do at The Australian Ballet. How lucky we are to have been founded by such a visionary woman, and to live with the bounty of her legacy every day. Nowhere is this legacy more evident than in her glorious production of Coppélia, which she created for the company in 1979 with two other magnificent artists: director George Ogilvie and designer Kristian Fredrikson. It was her parting gift to the company and it remains a jewel in the crown of our classical repertoire. Dame Peggy was a renowned Swanilda, and this was her second production of Coppélia. Her first was for the Borovansky Ballet in 1960; it was performed as part of The Australian Ballet’s first season in 1962, and was revived in subsequent years. When Dame Peggy returned to The Australian Ballet from retirement in 1978 she began to prepare this new production, which was to be her last. It is a timeless classic, and I am sure it will be performed well into the company’s future. Dame Peggy and Kristian are no longer with us, but in 2016 we had the great pleasure of welcoming George Ogilvie back to the company to oversee the staging of this production. George and Dame Peggy delved into the original Hoffmann story, layering this production with such depth of character and theatricality.
