The published article is available in Dance Chronicle, JSTOR and EBSCO. Abstract: Alicia Alonso contended that the musicality of Cuban ballet dancers contributed to a distinctive national style in their performance of European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. A highly developed sense of musicality distinguished Alonso’s own dancing. For the ballerina, this was more than just an element of her individual style: it was an expression of the Cuban cultural environment and a common feature among ballet dancers from the island. In addition to elucidating the physical manifestations of musicality in Alonso’s dancing, this article examines how the ballerina’s frequent references to music in connection to both her individual identity and the Cuban ballet aesthetics fit into a national discourse of self-representation that deems Cubans an exceptionally musical people.

  • PRESS RELEASE Ballet
    PRESS RELEASE Filip Barankiewicz The Artistic Director of The Czech National Ballet ballet ON-LINE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE CZECH NATIONAL BALLET CNB YOUTUBE CHANNEL PUPPET DOS SOLES SOLOS Two choreographies / double experience During 2020/2021 season The Czech National Ballet manages to stimualate creative energy and seeking new artistic impulses. The world online premiere of works by choreographers Douglas Lee and Alejandro Cerrudo ranks among them. We value every moment when we can freely create and thus contribute to the formation of a sensitive and supportive environment… Douglas Lee and Alejandro Cerrudo worked with The Czech National Ballet since August 2020. The dancers learned to exercise in face masks, disinfect their hands, split into small closed groups, take tests, protect themselves and others, watch their health and act as an evidence that the covid era shall not destroy the arts, the live theatre. In November 2020 these artists completed their new choreographies and the works were recorded. All choreographies are part of the Phoenix production which has entered the repertory of The Czech National Ballet (the third part of the premiere is Prelude und Liebestod by Cayetano Soto). We are ready to perform all three creations whenever audiences can return to our historical building. The live premiere is still to come and we hope to reconnect soon. On March 18, 2021 at 7pm we will be showing PUPPET (choreography by Douglas Lee) and on March 25, 2021 at 7pm DOS SOLES SOLOS (choreography by Alejandro Cerrudo); both works on YouTube channel of the Czech National Ballet.

  • Press Kit for Ballets Russes, Presented by Capri Releasing
    PRESENTS BALLETS RUSSES A film by Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine. A fifty-year journey through the lives of the revolutionary artists who transformed dance. Running Time: 120 Minutes Media Contact: Anna Maria Muccilli AM Public Relations 1200 Bay St., Suite 900 Toronto, Ontario, M5R 2A5 416.969.9930 x 231 [email protected] For photography, please visit: http://www.caprifilms.com/capri_pressmaterial.html Geller/Goldfine P R O D U C T I O N S Ballets Russes Synopsis Ego, politics, war, money, fame, glamour, love, betrayal, grace… and dance. Ballets Russes is a feature-length documentary covering more than fifty years in the lives of a group of revolutionary artists. It tells the story of the extraordinary blend of Russian, American, European and Latin American dancers who, in collaboration with the greatest choreographers, composers and designers of the first half of the 20th century, transformed ballet from mere music hall divertissement to a true art form. From 1909, when Russian impresario Serge Diaghilev premiered his legendary Ballet Russe company in Paris, to 1962 when Serge Denham’s Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo performed for the last time in Brooklyn, Ballets Russes companies brought their popular, groundbreaking and often controversial choreographies to big cities and small towns around the world. Along the way, these artistic visionaries left their mark on virtually every other area of art and culture – from stage design, painting and music to Hollywood and Broadway. Through their inclusive cosmopolitanism, they also put the first African-American and Native American ballerinas on the stage. Using intimate interviews with surviving members of the Ballets Russes companies (now in their 70s, 80s and 90s) as well as rare archival materials and motion picture footage, Ballets Russes is both an ensemble character film and an historical portrait of the birth of an art form.

  • Year 8 Dance Project Black History Through Dance
    Year 8 Dance Project Black History Through Dance I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that colour is not important. What is important is the quality of our work – Alvin Ailey A range of dance styles originated through black history including the tribal dances of Africa, the slave dances of the West Indies and the American Deep South, the Harlem social dances of the 1920s and the jazz dance of Broadway musicals. These styles of dance are hugely influential, inspiring new choreography as well as supporting the story of black history. TASK 1 – Read all of the information below Africa and the West Indies The two main origins of black dance are African dance and the slave dances from the plantations of the West Indies. Tribes or ethnic groups from every African country have their own individual dances. Dance has a ceremonial and social function, celebrating and marking rites of passage, sex, the seasons, recreation and weddings. The dancer can be a teacher, commentator, spiritual medium, healer or storyteller. In the Caribbean each island has its own traditions that come from its African roots and the island’s particular colonial past – British, French, Spanish or Dutch. 18th-century black dances such as the Calenda and Chica were slave dances which drew on African traditions and rhythms. The Calenda was one of the most popular slave dances in the Caribbean. It was banned by many plantation owners who feared it would encourage social unrest and uprisings. In the Calenda men and women face each other in two lines moving towards each other than away, then towards each other again to make contact - slapping thighs and even kissing.

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

De groep is ontstaan uit een groep Russische vluchtelingen die nooit in Rusland hebben gedanst en splitste zich later op in twee rivaliserende dansgroepen: de ‘Original Ballet Russe’ en de ‘Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo’. De documentaire begint bij de oprichting in 1909 door de befaamde Serge Diaghilev, beschrijft de oprichting van de Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo na de dood van Diaghilev in 1929, het ontstaan van een tweede Ballets Russes groep, de voorspoedige jaren ’30 en ’40 toen het Ballet Russe door Amerika toerde, tot de ondergang in de jaren ’50 en ’60 door stijgende kosten, groeiende ego’s, competitie van buiten en intern wanbeleid. Niet alleen choreografen als Balanchine en Massine, maar ook schilders als Matisse, Dali en Picasso werkten voor de revolutionaire Ballets Russes. Om over componisten als Claude Debussy en Igor Stravinsky nog maar te zwijgen. Wereldsterren als Alicia Markova, Irina Baranova en Marc Platt halen herinneringen op. Velen van de Ballets Russes dansers van weleer zijn nu tachtig of negentig, maar zijn nog steeds actief in de balletwereld.

  • 91 Nureyev Remembers Margot
    Sunday Telegraph February 24 1991 She was the greatest dancer of our epoch Photo Stephen Lock Rudolf Nureyev mourns his partner and lifelong friend, Dame Margot Fonteyn, prima ballerina assoluta, who died on Thursday aged 71. Below Dame Alicia Markova, Dame Ninette de Valois and Sir Kenneth MacMillan add their tributes MY PARTNERSHIP with Margot was without doubt the most important of my life. Performing with her was intoxicating, and it has been my greatest piece of good fortune to have met and become her friend as well as her partner. Margot had a catalystic effect on me. I had been at the Kirov Ballet and danced with 11 ballerinas there; then when I came to the West I partnered Yvette Chauviré and Rosella Hightower. I was about to go the United States, in fact, when Margot invited me to go to her at the Royal Ballet. Somehow I felt a call to change my plans. It was a crucial time. I was 23 and that meeting coloured my whole life. The last time I spoke to her was four days ago, when i rang her to talk about my tour here in America. She was always curious about what I was doing. To cheer her up I told her that I was conducting for the first time. She was delighted, and giggled at that. Then I called her yesterday [Wednesday] because it was my last performance in Salt Lake city and I wanted to brag about it to her. But she was asleep and I couldn’t talk to her - she was under very heavy sedation.

  • Eva Evdokimova (Western Germany), Atilio Labis
    i THE CUBAN BALLET: ITS RATIONALE, AESTHETICS AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY AS FORMULATED BY ALICIA ALONSO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Lester Tomé January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Karen Bond, Dance Michael Klein, Music Theory Heather Levi, External Member, Anthropology ii © Copyright 2011 by Lester Tomé All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the 1940s, Alicia Alonso became the first Latin American dancer to achieve international prominence in the field of ballet, until then dominated by Europeans. Promoted by Alonso, ballet took firm roots in Cuba in the following decades, particularly after the Cuban Revolution (1959). This dissertation integrates the methods of historical research, postcolonial critique and discourse analysis to explore the performative and discursive strategies through which Alonso defined her artistic identity and the collective identity of the Cuban ballet. The present study also examines the historical context of the development of ballet in Cuba, Alonso’s rationale for the practice of ballet on the Island, and the relationship between the Cuban ballet and the European ballet. Alonso defended the legitimacy of Cuban dancers to practice ballet and, in specific, perform European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. She opposed the notion that ballet was the exclusive patrimony of Europeans. She also insisted that the cultivation of this dance form on the Island was not an act of cultural colonialism. In her view, the development of ballet in Cuba consisted, instead, of an exploration of a distinctive Cuban voice within this dance form, a reformulation of a European legacy from a postcolonial perspective.

  • Nutcracker London Coliseum 16 December 2021 - 8 January 2022
    English National Ballet Nutcracker London Coliseum 16 December 2021 - 8 January 2022 www.ballet.org.uk/nutcracker English National Ballet’s Nutcracker is returning to the stage this Christmas. The festive family favourite will be performed at the beautiful London Coliseum in the heart of the West End, from 16 December 2021 – 8 January 2022. Following a year in which COVID-19 restrictions meant English National Ballet was unable to present a live version of Nutcracker for the first time in the Company’s 70-year history, this December sees the show return to the theatre and live audiences. This production by Wayne Eagling encapsulates all that is loved most about the festive ballet. Over 100 dancers and musicians will bring the popular Tchaikovsky score to life, including the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Waltz of the Flowers performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic. On a sparkling Christmas Eve in a frost-dusted Edwardian London, Clara receives an enchanted Nutcracker as a present. Together, they discover a magical world where she battles with the Mouse King and meets a handsome stranger. As the air grows colder, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a hot air balloon ride across London to the glistening Land of Snow where a puppet theatre comes to life with dancers from around the world. English National Ballet has performed a version of Nutcracker every year since it was founded in 1950. Despite last year’s restrictions, the Company maintained this tradition by filming a specially adapted production of Nutcracker and sharing it online for audiences to enjoy from home.
