Note from the Producer Dance Epidemics Throughout human history, dance has been the harbinger of political and cultural revolutions. In the French courts of Louis XIV, one’s ability to execute proper technique assured you an esteemed position close to the king. As a spiritual and cathartic practice, it remains one of the most efficacious ways to heal and commune with the Divine beyond our earthly existence. Now as a multi- billion dollar business enterprise, dance is everywhere, with over 50 different television shows and films currently airing across cultures, time zones, and genres telling stories of love, loss, and hope. While mulling through my dance notebooks, I came across a story that was well documented throughout 16th century Europe. The story goes that in 1518, residents of Strasbourg on the French- German border were suddenly struck “by a sudden and seemingly uncontrollable urge to dance.” This so called hysteria began when one woman, Frau Troffea, stepped into the street and spontaneously began to twist, twirl, and shake with such fervor that soon her weeklong solo dance-a- thon turned into an epidemic claiming over 400 victims. Local physicians blamed it on “hot blood” and prescribed a cure of continued gyrations until the fever broke. This dance fever eventually took its toll, with many dancers collapsing and dying from exhaustion, dehydration, strokes, or heart attacks. This strange episode continued for months, until the remaining dancers were eventually whisked away to a mountaintop shrine to pray for absolution. One could say that we too are in a dance fever of sorts, with over 20 student-run dance companies and two accredited faculty-run dance companies. Here our students grow into mature artists and take what they have learned out into the world. Here they have a safe space to be in the dance, to feel what they feel, to see what they see, and to communally cultivate joy and creativity. Many of the students you witness this evening are graduating and moving on to other spaces and places. We wish them success with the promise of always having a safe harbor of creativity back here whenever they choose to return. —Michelle Bach-Coulibaly 2016-17 Dance Season Family Weekend Dance Concert Produced by Sydney Skybetter.

  • Zvidance DABKE
    presents ZviDance Sunday, July 12-Tuesday, July 14 at 8:00pm Reynolds Industries Theater Performance: 50 minutes, no intermission DABKE (2012) Choreography: Zvi Gotheiner in collaboration with the dancers Original Score by: Scott Killian with Dabke music by Ali El Deek Lighting Design: Mark London Costume Design: Reid Bartelme Assistant Costume Design: Guy Dempster Dancers: Chelsea Ainsworth, Todd Allen, Alex Biegelson, Kuan Hui Chew, Tyner Dumortier, Samantha Harvey, Ying-Ying Shiau, Robert M. Valdez, Jr. Company Manager: Jacob Goodhart Executive Director: Nikki Chalas A few words from Zvi about the creation of DABKE: The idea of creating a contemporary dance piece based on a Middle Eastern folk dance revealed itself in a Lebanese restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. My Israeli partner and a Lebanese waiter became friendly and were soon dancing the Dabke between tables. While patrons cheered, I remained still, transfixed, all the while envisioning this as material for a new piece. Dabke (translated from Arabic as "stomping of the feet") is a traditional folk dance and is now the national dance of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine. Israelis have their own version. It is a line dance often performed at weddings, holidays, and community celebrations. The dance strongly references solidarity, and traditionally only men participated. The dancers, linked by hands or shoulders, stomp the ground with complex rhythms, emphasizing their connection to the land. While the group keeps rhythm, the leader, called Raas (meaning "head"), improvises on pre-choreographed movement phrases. He also twirls a handkerchief or string of beads known as a Masbha. When I was a child and teenager growing up in a Kibbutz in northern Israel, Friday nights were folk dance nights.

  • Resource Guide for Educators
    RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE. PHOTO BY JOE EPSTEIN 1 A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Dance came from the people and must always be delivered back to the people.” - Alvin Ailey Dear Educator, For over sixty years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has carried out the credo of its founder through performances, school and community programs, professional training of young dancers, classes for the public, and more. To Mr. Ailey, dance was more than a series of steps; it was a means of expressing emotion, of telling one’s story, of honoring the past and rejoicing in what is to come. In fulfillment of his legacy, we strive to offer abundant opportunities for young people to experience the possibilities of dance, no matter who they are or where they come from. We hope the exercises and activities suggested in this resource guide will provide you and your students with a creative and interactive inlet to the world of dance and the work of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, or help you prepare them to attend a dance performance. By bringing your students to an Ailey performance, participating in an Ailey Arts In Education residency, or simply sharing with them the joy and practice of dance, you are engaging the next generation in the Ailey legacy; one expressly dedicated to expanding the minds, talents, and dreams of young people. Thank you for your contribution, and enjoy! Sincerely, Bennett Rink Executive Director, Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation 2 RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE.

  • “The Art of Rita Blitt” by Robert Mcdonald Edited by Donna Stein
    Untitled Document “The Art of Rita Blitt” By Robert McDonald Edited by Donna Stein Rita Blitt has been an artist for as long as she can remember. Since she was a child she has had a passion for creating art and for sharing it with others. She recalls her excited anticipation when teachers passed out fresh drawing paper in school, and these creative expectations endure today. Blitt channels her enthusiasm to others via drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Working from intuition as well as intelligence, her experience of making art is both physical and spiritual. She has had a calling and the strength to follow her path. Like novelist Willa Cather, Blitt has discovered that happiness is "to be dissolved into something complete and great," to become "part of something entire." An important source of Blitt's enthusiasm for art was the influence of her grandfather, Isaac Sofnas, a Russian designer of flower embroidery patterns, who lived in New York City. According to Blitt, "My grandfather drew fanciful flowers on the letters he sent. From the time I was a toddler we exchanged drawings. Now I feel my lines continue his." Blitt's father, Herman Copaken, a businessman and part-time inventor, embodied patient determination and self-motivation, which he passed on to his daughter. Blitt's mother, Dorothy Sofnas Copaken, devoted herself to Jewish humanitarian causes. She instilled in her three children an awareness of and caring for the world, which Blitt expresses through art. "My Mom always said, 'Look at the beautiful trees,'" Rita remembers. "I loved drawing trees formed with multiple lines, each emanating from the roots and continuing up through the trunk to become branches and twigs.
