  • Erick Hawkins' Collaborations in the Choreographing of Plains Daybreak
    Erick Hawkins’ Collaborations in the Choreographing of Plains Daybreak Erick Hawkins’ Collaborations in the Choreographing of Plains Daybreak Laura Pettibone Wright with Catherine Tharin Erick Hawkins (1909-1994), one of the great American modern dance pioneers of the 20th century, was committed to the creation of “theater poetry,” in which dance, music, and visual designs work together to create a complete theatrical work. His lifelong commitment to artistic collaboration and his unique place in the history of modern dance is understood by examining, analyzing and interpreting archival materials related to Hawkins’ seminal dance, Plains Daybreak (1979). Hawkins created dances that brought together like-minded collaborators that included composers Alan Hovhaness and Lucia Dlugoszewski as well as sculptors Ralph Lee and Ralph Dorazio. Experiences with early mentors, choreographers George Balanchine and Martha Graham were important steps in the development of his creative process. His personal aesthetic grew from his immersion in the ideas of philosophers F.S.C. Northrup and D.T. Suzuki as well as the ceremonies and arts of the Pueblo and Plains Native Americans. A chronological timeline of the creation of Plains Daybreak is generated from notebooks and correspondence in The Erick Hawkins Collection in the Library of Congress, interviews with collaborating artists, and the authors’ personal experiences as members of the Erick Hawkins Dance Company. “The dance is a ceremony that takes place on the great American plains on one of the days of the beginning of the world.” Program note for Plains Daybreak Video still capture, author’s collection 2 Erick Hawkins’ Collaborations Erick Hawkins (1909-1994) was one of the great American modern dance pioneers of the 20th century.

JOHN THE DIVINE New York (August 2013) – The Mettawee River Theatre Company, under the leadership of Artistic Director Ralph Lee, continues its tradition of presenting a performance on the Close during the days that bridge summer and fall with the enactment of Taliesin, a medieval Welsh tale of sorceresses, kings and valiant heroes, on Friday, September 6 – Sunday, September 8 and Friday, September 13 – Sunday, September 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, located at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue (at 112th Street). The story of Taliesin comes from a medieval Welsh tale of sorcery and court intrigue, in which the power of inspiration is accidentally bestowed on an unlikely kid, who can suddenly see beyond everyday reality, becoming Taliesin – “radiant brow,” inspiration for all poets in the Welsh bardic tradition. Mettawee’s production of Taliesin will incorporate a range of highly decorative puppetry, giant figures, masks and other works of art realized on many different scales in this celebration of transformation and imagination. The production is designed and directed by Ralph Lee, with a score composed by Neal Kirkwood and costumes designed by Casey Compton. Tickets are available for $12 (adults) and $6 (children and seniors). About Ralph Lee & The Mettawee River Theatre Company Ralph Lee—Cathedral Artist-in-Residence, Artistic Director of the Mettawee River Theatre Company, and impresario of Halloween parades—has been creating puppets since his childhood in Middlebury, Vermont.

  • The New Landscape
    CENTERPIECE FOCUS ON: GOVERNANCE • • • • LEARNING PERSPECTIVES FROM BEYOND THE BOARD ROOM BY NANCY ROCHE The May Centerpiece on Governance focused on trustees’ professional development opportunities. “Learning Perspectives from Beyond the Board Room” is a description of two of those experiences — the TCG National Conference and the Trustee Residency Program at the O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. If a theatre lover’s dream is to talk and breathe theatre with theatre makers and theatre workers, then participating in these events felt like an entry into a magical world. In June, the TCG National Conference in Philadelphia on “The Role of Live Theatre in a Digital Culture,” attracted a record number of 700 participants, including 54 trustees representing 44 not-for-profit resident theatres— all drawn to a heady mix of professional artists and theatre managers, an agenda of intellectually exciting speakers and an Open Space agenda created by conference participants. The conference immersed us in both product and process. Opportunities for learning, the kind that comes through osmosis in such a stimulating environment, abounded. The conference provided us with four days of discussions, performances and meals with managing directors, artistic directors, actors, directors and designers — at last, we can attach names and faces to this remarkable cast. Descriptions of a few National Conference highlights are drawn from the reporting of Jerry Meyer, Trustee, Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven, CT; Andrew Michael, Trustee, Contemporary American Theater Festival, Shepherdstown, WV; and Jaan Whitehead, Trustee, Living Stage, Washington, D.C. Also included is the address given by A. E. “Ted” Wolf, Board Chairman of Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater, at the Trustees Breakfast held during the conference.

  • Latin American and Caribbean Section
    Latin American and Caribbean Section Southern Historical Association LACS/SHA Newsletter Fall 2010 From the President… Historians of Latin America and the US South have long shared much in common and some of the pioneering works in comparative history focused on these two regions in particular. In 1998 the Southern Historical Association recognized Latin American and Caribbean history as a natural extension of its traditional foci and historians of Latin America and the Caribbean as vital interlocutors for understanding both the particular and common experiences of Southern history and welcomed the creation of the Latin American and Caribbean Section. With the surge of interest in Atlantic, Borderlands, Transnational, and Global history, linkages between the fields of Latin American and Southern history are further strengthened. As we prepare for our twelfth annual meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, we are happy to report that LACS is flourishing. Our membership and revenues have grown to record levels and we gratefully acknowledge the support of the Southern Historical Association, which allots us five panels on the program each year and provides us with great administrative and organizational support. We are pleased that the LACS program committee has mounted another fine slate of panels this year and we encourage everyone to think about offering panels for next year’s meeting in Baltimore. I congratulate Tom Rogers (UNCC) for putting together the panels for Charlotte and I hope you will consider submitting a paper or panel for Baltimore 2011 to Ben Vinson (JHU). Every year LACS-SHA hosts a business luncheon for our members, an event that features an invited speaker.
