New Dances Edition 2018 New Dances Edition 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Edition of New Dances at Juilliard During my first few months as the newly appointed Director of Dance, I have witnessed some of the finest young dancers deep in practice in the studio and in the classroom. Guided by our extraordinary faculty, they strive to refine the technical and presentational aspects of the art form, day by day. This type of rigor fortifies the dancer as an artist, capable of expressing an infinite possibility of emotions and ideas. What you are about to see are the fruits of their labor, synthesized with the creative genius of four New Dances choreographers who have been tasked with creating an original work for one full class of the Dance Division. Over the past two months, the choreographers and dancers have engaged in a process that celebrates the ideals of art making and creative enterprise through collaboration, ingenuity, risk-taking, and generosity. My gratitude goes to Marcus Jarrell Willis, Nelly van Bommel, Peter Chu, Stefanie Batten Bland, and the entire production team for pouring so much of themselves into this endeavor. I truly believe that together, we create something greater than the sum of our individual parts, renewing the spirit of community in a very tangible way. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Watch your tone and play well with others!” How does your reaction influence the space around you? Quality of sound is vital for communication and human recognition. Your character is expressed by the subtext of your tone. Playing with curiosity, repeated patterns move through the hidden truths of change, slip into a playground of compassion, and vacillate between waving emotions. Smeared, supple, and smooth grooves in the body extend from an internal rhythm that awakens the essence of why we move. Rhythms connect humans and help us grow. A communal experience without social barriers is celebrated when moving and working together––its profound effect on others can heal during divisive times. Thank you to third-year class, musicians, designers, and Taylor LaBruzzo for floating through water and playing with curiosity. *Stage Management Apprentice 4 Intermission Look Who's Coming to Dinner World premiere Choreography: Stefanie Batten Bland Rehearsal Assistant: Gregory Dolbashian Music: Original composition and performance by Paul Damian Hogan Lighting Design: Nicole Pearce Costume Design: Fritz Masten Stage Manager: Brianna Rafidi* Collaborating Dance Artists From the Class of 2019 Friday, Sunday matinee, Tuesday Saturday, Monday Clarissa Castañeda Chase Buntrock Ethan Colangelo Ethan Colangelo Matthew Gilmore** Maddie Hanson Zoe Hollinshead Myles Hunter Mio Ishikawa Kylie James Nicholas Jurica Oliver Jull Sean Lammer Miranda Ming-Quinn Megan Myers Jennie Palomo Moscelyne ParkeHarrison Anca Putin Simon Rydén Matthew Quigley Luca Devlyn Sierra Can Wang Benjamin Simoens Christina Zuccarello Jacob Thoman *Stage Management Apprentice **Matthew Gilmore is a Princess Grace Awardee for 2018 5 About Juilliard Dance Now under the direction of Alicia Graf Mack, Juilliard Dance aims to create true contemporary dancers—trained equally in classical ballet and modern dance. Established in 1951 by William Schuman during his tenure as president of The Juilliard School, with the guidance of founding division director Martha Hill, Juilliard became the first major teaching institution to combine equal instruction in both contemporary and ballet techniques. Each year 24 dancers are accepted into the four-year BFA program. In addition to daily ballet and modern technique classes, every dancer participates in classical and contemporary partnering, dance composition, anatomy, acting, dance history, stagecraft, production, music theory, repertory, and elements of performing. Dancers are encouraged to present their own choreographed works in informal concerts and workshop presentations. Every fall each class has the opportunity to work with established choreographers in premiere dances as part of the New Dances performances. Recent commissions include works by Bryan Arias, Roy Assaf, Gentian Doda, John Heginbotham, Matthew Neenan, Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, Katarzyna Skarpetowska, and Pam Tanowitz. Spring performances give dancers the opportunity to perform in established works from repertory. Recent repertory performances included works by Nacho Duato, William Forsythe, Martha Graham, Jiríˇ Kylián, José Limón, Mark Morris, Crystal Pite, Paul Taylor, and Twyla Tharp. Juilliard Dance alumni include the choreographers and directors Robert Battle, Pina Bausch, Jessica Lang, Lar Lubovitch, Andrea Miller, Ohad Naharin, and Paul Taylor. Juilliard dancers are currently dancing in Nederlands Dans Theater, Nederlands Dans Theater 2, Ballet BC, Aspen/ Santa Fe

  • The Choreographer Lar Lubovitch, Who Has Been Making Dances for 50 Years, Is Known for His Musicality
    The choreographer Lar Lubovitch, who has been making dances for 50 years, is known for his musicality. CreditGeorge Etheredge for The New York Times Lar Lubovitch: His Palette? All Arms and Legs. Mr. Lubovitch, who’s been a choreographer for 50 years, talks about his work and learning from the best: Graham, Limón and the stage of a nightclub. By MARINA HARSSAPRIL 13, 2018 The choreographer Lar Lubovitch didn’t discover dance until college, where he had gone in hopes of becoming a painter. The impulse to fill a canvas hasn’t left him. When he describes making a dance, he does so not only in kinetic terms but through the prism of painting: “I’m reacting to the effect the music has on me and making that visual by painting the space and the time that the music is occupying,” he said recently over lunch at a cafe near his Chelsea apartment He has been painting with bodies for 50 years now, a milestone that he is celebrating with a weeklong run at the Joyce, beginning April 17. The dances on view date back to his “Brahms Symphony,” from 1985, a work he considers a watershed in his career. It vividly embodies the two qualities for which he has come to be known: lush musicality and unabashed emotionalism. (It will be performed by dancers from George Mason University, for whom he restaged it earlier this year.) For his own company, he has created a new dance, “Something About Night,” which contains passages from previous works, many of them forgotten.

  • HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO and FINAL BOW for YELLOWFACE PRESENT UNBOXED Three Short Works Reimagining the Nutcracker’S Tea Variation, May 10, 17 and 24, 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Nick Harkin Carol Fox and Associates [email protected] HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO AND FINAL BOW FOR YELLOWFACE PRESENT UNBOXED Three Short Works Reimagining The Nutcracker’s Tea Variation, May 10, 17 and 24, 2021 Chicago, IL — Hubbard Street Dance (HSDC) in partnership with Final Bow for Yellowface presents Unboxed, three works that rewrite the future of a tradition. Unboxed features choreographers Yin Yue, Edwaard Liang, and Peter Chu using their voices and vocabularies to imagine their own versions of the Chinese Tea variation from The Nutcracker. These Asian and Asian-American dance-makers engaged in three-day workshops with Hubbard Street dancers exploring the questions: “What are the traditions we want to protect?” and “What do we want to leave behind?” Unboxed welcomes viewers to tear free from the confines of tradition and invites audiences to glimpse the promise of a future rewritten. HSDC is challenging what is known as canon, in this case, the Chinese Tea variation from The Nutcracker to ask, “Can a dance, only a minute long but fraught with stereotypes, exist within a more inclusive future?” Hubbard Street Dance Associate Artistic Director, Jessica Tong says “the idea for Unboxed was always about challenging conventions and stereotypes. But my main focus initially was really to create a fun way for Hubbard Street to interact with great choreographers while playfully researching this one-minute variation. I couldn't have foreseen how meaningful and timely this project would eventually become, as people of Asian descent in this country are now fighting more than ever for acceptance and visibility.” Founders of Final Bow for Yellowface Phil Chan and Georgina Pazcoguin share more about this partnership, "At a time when big ballet companies routinely revive orientalist ballets from a European perspective, they seldom include choreographers of Asian descent.
