  • “DANCE SERIES 01” in CARMEL March 23 & 24, 2018
    SMUIN PRESENTS “DANCE SERIES 01” IN CARMEL March 23 & 24, 2018 Program includes: Requiem for a Rose by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa Fly Me to the Moon by Michael Smuin Serenade for Strings by Garrett Ammon SAN FRANCISCO, CA (22 February 2018) — Smuin, after a successful run of its annual holiday extravaganza The Christmas Ballet, returns to Carmel with Dance Series 01. Continuing its 24th season, this program includes Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s critically lauded and transcendent piece Requiem for a Rose. Ochoa is an internationally acclaimed choreographer who creates contemporary dance works and also adapts her style for classical ballet companies. At its West Coast premiere with Smuin in fall 2017, San Francisco Classical Voice described the piece as “perfection!” Also on the program is Michael Smuin’s joyful tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes, Fly Me to the Moon, hailed as “delicious” by the San Francisco Chronicle. This blend of ballet and popular dance is the embodiment of the smooth and stylish melodies that have inspired generations, including Sinatra’s renditions of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “The Lady is a Tramp.” Rounding out the bill is the return of Garrett Ammon’s bold Serenade for Strings. Set to Tchaikovsky’s score of the same name, this work is a vibrant new interpretation of a piece inexorably tied to the iconic 1934 Balanchine ballet. Upon making its West Coast premiere with Smuin in October 2014, the San Francisco Chronicle noted that “the whole cast danced it vibrantly and flawlessly.” The Dance Series 01 program debuted in San Francisco last fall, with San Francisco Classical Voice describing the program as “terrific…in tune with the demand for ballets that aren’t the same old!” Dance Series 01 will be presented March 23-24 at the Sunset Center in Carmel.

The program has grown to include reports, case studies, convenings, grants, blogs, and videos, all available on the TCG website. Behind this remarkably diverse series of initiatives at TCG, its partners, and member theatres lies a core-value emphasis on “risk-taking, reflection, experimentation, and collective action toward implementing new strategies” that were originally intended to help theatres cultivate and maintain attendance and have since grown to emphasize building deep, long-term relationships with audiences as well as demand. Round One of the program took place from 2012 to 2015. TCG engaged AMS Planning & Research, a national arts management consulting firm, to create a report based on field surveys and a series of case studies spotlighting audience development strategies identified by AMS at eight theatre companies. The goal of the report was to develop a shared vocabulary around audience engagement; explore audience engagement models and understand how/why the best ones work; and share these successful models with the field. (AMS defined “audience engagement” to include any effort by a theatre to connect to its constituency/ies, sometimes through multiple pathways, with a desire to enhance the experience they share.) The eight original companies were selected by TCG based, in part, on groups that were cited as “best practice” organizations by their peer companies and through the extensive AMS research of the field.

  • Nutcracker Program 2014Opt.Pdf
    Nutcrackerthe SEISKAYA BALLET Nutcrackerthe Casse Noisette Early in 1891 the legendary composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky received a commission from the Imperial Theatre Directorate at St. Petersburg to compose a one-act lyric opera together with a ballet for presentation during the following season. Accepting Tchaikovsky’s choice of sub- ject for the opera, the Theatre Directorate selected Alexandre Dumas’ French adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, for the ballet. Tchaikovsky was not pleased with the subject selection because he felt it did not lend itself to theatrical presentation and was therefore quite unsuited to serve as a scenario for a ballet. Both the opera and ballet were presented on December 18, 1892. The ballet, conducted by Ric- cardo Drigo, was received somewhat unfavorably. Dance historians have attributed this to the Nutcracker’s unusual story, which was quite different from the romantic tales normally presented. The Nutcracker choreography was begun by the redoubtable Marius Petipa. The balance of the work was taken up by his assistant Leon Ivanov when Petipa fell ill. According to historical accounts, when the ballet was finally produced, Petipa refused to have his name linked with it, feeling his own part in its creation was insufficient to be publicly announced. However, dance historians have recognized his contribu- tion, and the original choreography is generally credited to both Petipa and Ivanov. First presented in Western Europe by the Sadler’s Wells Ballet at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, January 30, 1934, the production was staged by Nicholas Sergeyev after the original Petipa-Ivanov version.
