Jill Beck, Ph.D. Chair, Division of Dance MEADOWS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS DIVISION OF DANCE George Balanchine, Choreographer (Concerto Barocco). Balanchine is considered the most influential and prolific ballet choreographer of the 20th century. He was trained in the style of Marius Petipa at the Russian Imperial School, and after the revolution in Russia went to Europe and joined Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. In 1933, he accepted Lincoln Kirstein's invitation to come to America and establish a school and eventually a professional company. The School of American Ballet was founded in 1934 and the New York City Ballet in 1948. Between 1934 and 1948, Balanchine choreographed for other dance companies as well as Broadway shows and Hollywood films with which work he raised considerably the status of the dancer in popular entertainment. From 1948 until his death in 1983, he devoted himself exclusively to the New York City Ballet where he choreographed over 200 ballets and devel­ oped a neoclassical style that blended the majesty of the Russian Imperial School, the tradi­ tion of the Paris Opera, and the drama of Romantic ballet. Balanchine extended, distorted, and re-combined this rich classical ballet vocabulary in unexpected ways to create an Ameri­ can style of ballet for the 20th century. Robert Beard, Choreographer (Prisms) and Associate Professor of Dance, has trained under and/or perfom1ed with such leading contemporary dance artists as Martha Graham, Jose Limon, and Merce Cunningham. Mr. Beard has taught professional dance classes at the Royal Acad­ emy of Dancing, London, The Toronto Dance Theatre, and many universities across the United States. lie served as Co-f'oundcr and Co-Artistic dircclor of the Repertory Dance Company of the Southwest, the first full time professional contemporary company in the region.

Thompson The Whitney Museum of American Art is observing the 100th anniversary of Lincoln Kirstein’s birth with an exhibition focusing on a diverse trio of artists from Kirstein’s circle: Walker Evans, Elie Nadelman, and Pavel Tchelitchew. Lincoln Kirstein: An Anniversary Celebration, conceived by guest curator Jerry L. Thompson, working with Elisabeth Sussman and Carter Foster, opens in the Museum’s 5th-floor Ames Gallery on April 25, 2007. Selections from Kirstein’s writings form the basis of the labels and wall texts. Lincoln Kirstein (1906-96), a noted writer, scholar, collector, impresario, champion of artists, and a hugely influential force in American culture, engaged with many notable artistic and literary figures, and helped shape the way the arts developed in America from the late 1920s onward. His involvement with choreographer George Balanchine, with whom he founded the School of American Ballet and New York City Ballet, is perhaps his best known accomplishment. This exhibition focuses on the photographer Walker Evans, the sculptor Elie Nadelman, and the painter Pavel Tchelitchew, each of whom was important to Kirstein.

  • Oral History Interview with Walker Evans, 1971 Oct. 13-Dec. 23
    Oral history interview with Walker Evans, 1971 Oct. 13-Dec. 23 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Walker Evans conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The interview took place at the home of Walker Evans in Connecticut on October 13, 1971 and in his apartment in New York City on December 23, 1971. Interview PAUL CUMMINGS: It’s October 13, 1971 – Paul Cummings talking to Walker Evans at his home in Connecticut with all the beautiful trees and leaves around today. It’s gorgeous here. You were born in Kenilworth, Illinois – right? WALKER EVANS: Not at all. St. Louis. There’s a big difference. Though in St. Louis it was just babyhood, so really it amounts to the same thing. PAUL CUMMINGS: St. Louis, Missouri. WALKER EVANS: I think I must have been two years old when we left St. Louis; I was a baby and therefore knew nothing. PAUL CUMMINGS: You moved to Illinois. Do you know why your family moved at that point? WALKER EVANS: Sure. Business. There was an opening in an advertising agency called Lord & Thomas, a very famous one. I think Lasker was head of it. Business was just starting then, that is, advertising was just becoming an American profession I suppose you would call it. Anyway, it was very naïve and not at all corrupt the way it became later.

  • Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color
    The Community-Building Project: Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color Joseph Erasto Jaramillot INTRODUCTION As people of color continue to face racial and socioeconomic subordination in this country, one wonders when, if ever, the "elusive quest for racial justice"' will end. Intellectuals dedicated to the pursuit of racial justice have focused their work on unmasking the operation of racism and white privilege and recognizing the perspectives of the oppressed. One central insight of this approach is the need to take race into account when analyzing the application of supposedly "race neutral" but so often racially discriminatory criteria. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for transforming society's view of racism and race relations. However, until the dominant culture becomes genuinely receptive to these ideas, communities of color will continue to suffer.2 Indeed, current political discourse adds fuel Copyright 0 1996 by Joseph Jaramillo. t Joseph Erasto Jaramillo received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and his B.A. from the University of California at Davis. He is currently a staff attorney at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) in San Francisco. He completed this Comment before he joined MALDEF. He would like to thank Professor Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr., of Duke University School of Law for his insight, former La Raza Law Journal Co- Editor-in-Chief Robert Salinas for his assistance and support, and Susana Martinez and Robby Mockler for their helpful editing and feedback. This Comment is dedicated to the committed gente of La Raza Law Students Association at Boalt Hall and all other schools, who give true meaning to the word "community." 1.

When Tanny was 3, they moved to New York where Jacques Le Clercq taught romance languages. Tanny began ballet training in New York at age 5, studying with Mikhail Mordkin. She eventually transitioned to the School of American Ballet, which George Balanchine had founded in 1934. Balanchine discovered Tanny as a student there. He cast her as Choleric in The Four Temperaments at the tender age of 15, along with the great prima ballerinas in his company, then called Ballet Society. Before long she was dancing solo roles as a member of Ballet Society, never having danced in the corps de ballet. Some of Balanchine’s most memorable ballets were choreographed on Tanny; notably Symphony in C, La Valse, Concerto Barocco and Western Symphony . She was the original Dew Drop in The Nutcracker. Jerome Robbins was also fascinated with Tanny; famously attributing his enchantment with her unique style of dancing with his decision to join the New York City Ballet and work under Balanchine as both a dancer and choreographer. It was there he created his radical version of Afternoon of a Faun on Tanny.

Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern by Samantha Friedman and Jodi Hauptman with contributions by Lynn Garafola, Michele Greet, Michelle Harvey, Richard Meyer, and Kevin Moore New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2019. 208 pp.; 170 color illus.; 94 b/w illus.; Hardcover: $55.00 (ISBN: 9781633450820) Exhibition schedule: The Museum of Modern Art, New York, March 17–June 15, 2019 Reviewed by: Clara Barnhart, Independent Scholar The remarkable contribution made by Lincoln Kirstein (1907–1996) to the modern arts in the 1930s and 1940s United States took many forms, but he is still mostly known for enhancing the status of ballet as an American art form. Given that he so successfully spearheaded the American ballet movement, and continued to preside over it into the late 1980s as director of the New York City Ballet (NYCB) and president of the School of American Ballet (SAB), Kirstein's range of artistic interests is often overlooked. Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern, the catalogue for the 2019 Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) exhibition of the same name, seeks to correct this constrictive categorization by presenting Kirstein as a “key connector and indefatigable catalyst who shaped and supported American artists and institutions in the 1930s and ’40s,” writes Samantha Friedman, cocurator of the exhibition (11). The extent of his influence on the arts has not been sufficiently examined until now; the catalogue therefore fills a significant gap in the critical literature.
