Cone Fund in the Humanities Council Lewis Center for the Arts Department of Music PNC Bank Princeton University Library Tiger Baron Foundation, lnc. Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures TABLE’S CLEAR Director/Choreographer: Tina Fehlandt Music: Paul Lansky, Table’s Clear (1991) Dancers: Julie Rubinger ’09, Jennie Scholick ‘09, Elizabeth Schwall ‘09 Choreographed in collaboration with the dancers Music Note about Table’s Clear from Paul Lansky Table’s Clear is an electronic work in which the sound sources are those of my two sons, Caleb and Jonah, aged 8 and 13 at the time, in our kitchen banging on pots, pans and anything else they could get their hands on (including themselves). The sounds were then altered and arranged on the computer to create a fantasy that begins realistically, then becomes superhuman, and finally returns to reality. It is 18 minutes long and available on a Bridge CD entitled Homebrew. Table’s Clear and Krazy Kat run together without a pause. Krazy Kat uses the last three minutes of the Table’s Clear music before the orchestra begins playing Carpenter’s music. KRAZY KAT Director/Choreographer: Tracy Bersley Music: John Alden Carpenter, Krazy Kat: A Jazz Pantomime (1921) Musicians: Princeton University Concert Jazz Ensemble, Sinfonia, Orchestra and Invited Guest Musicians Dancers: Chloe Davis ‘12 (Walter Cephus Austridge), Sarah Fingerhood ‘11 (Krazy Kat), Arielle Sandor ‘12 (Officer Pupp), Molly Silberberg ’11 (Terry P. Turtle), Ana Sollitto ‘11 (Ms. Kwak Kwak), Joel Zinn ’13 (lgnatz Mouse) Choreographed in collaboration with the dancers Music Note about Krazy Kat from Simon Morrison John Alden Carpenter’s jazz pantomime Krazy Kat (1921) is based on George Herriman’s comic strip of the same name. The score, the first orchestral work to use the word “jazz” in its title, includes parodic allusions to Scott Joplin, Claude Debussy, and Richard Strauss, among other composers. The climatic ballroom scene of the original scenario bears the title “Katnip Blues.” Director/Choreographer Note about Krazy Kat from Tracy Bersley Welcome to the world of George Herriman’s Krazy Kat, a comic strip published weekly from 1913-1944. The premise: a curious “love” triangle involving Krazy, Ignatz Mouse, and police dog Officer Pupp, where Krazy mistakes bricks thrown by the mouse as a sure sign of his affection, and Pupp strives to protect Krazy from Ignatz’s sinister plans. In the spirit of Herriman’s surrealism and playfulness, we created this piece through the lens of a NYC purgatory: the subway, where strangers meet and stranger things can happen. INTERMISSION THE TOY BOX Director/Choreographer: Rebecca Lazier Assistant: Jennie Scholick ’09 Music: Claude Debussy, The Toy Box (1913) Musicians: Princeton University Concert Jazz Ensemble, Sinfonia, Orchestra and Invited Guest Musicians Tableau I: Ensemble - Kathlyn Adamson ’11, Alexis Branagan ’11, Sarah Fingerhood ’11, Daniel Gilday ’11, Gretchen Hoffmann ’13, Chloe Markewich ’12, Margaret McNamara ’13, Yael Nachajon ’12, Ben Oliver ’10, Sydney Schiff ’10, Eva Marie Wash ’11 (Fri. Eve. & Sat. Mat.), Bridget K. Wright ’11 (Thur. Eve. & Sat. Eve.) Tableau II: Ensemble and Duet - A.J. Brannum ’13 and Eva Marie Wash ’11 (Thur. Eve. & Sat. Eve.) or Bridget K. Wright ’11 (Fri. Eve. & Sat. Mat.) Tableau III: Duet Tableau IV: Ensemble and Duet Choreographed in collaboration with the dancers, Shawn Cruz ’10, Christine Mak ‘13 and Sarah Simon ’13 Music Note about The Toy Box from Simon Morrison The Toy Box is both a tribute to childhood and a look back at the composer’s favorite musical influences. The music is often restless, evocative of an inquisitive toddler, with toy-sized quotations from Igor Stravinsky jostling with others from Felix Mendelssohn, Modest Mussorgsky, Maurice Ravel, and Richard Wagner. The music dates from 1913 and was left partially un-orchestrated at the time of the composer’s death in 1918. Most available recordings use an orchestration completed by Debussy’s disciple Andre Caplet. I located an unknown version of the score at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art that includes a “jazz overture” and diverges from the familiar orchestration. This performance is the first time this version of the score has been heard since the 1920s (the Moscow Chamber Theater premiered it in 1918, and then took it on tour). Director/Choreographer Note about The Toy Box from Rebecca Lazier The choreography and narrative are original to this production. Between 1918 and today there have been many performances of the score with different choreographic, directorial and visual concepts, including productions with puppets, children and marionettes. For this production we worked collaboratively to create an imaginary and timeless space that furthers Debussy’s play with musical ideas with choreographic and physical play and builds an abstract narrative about being transformed by our sense of discovery and curiosity.

  • Behind the Scenes of the Fiery Angel: Prokofiev's Character
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ASU Digital Repository Behind the Scenes of The Fiery Angel: Prokofiev's Character Reflected in the Opera by Vanja Nikolovski A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved March 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Brian DeMaris, Chair Jason Caslor James DeMars Dale Dreyfoos ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT It wasn’t long after the Chicago Opera Company postponed staging The Love for Three Oranges in December of 1919 that Prokofiev decided to create The Fiery Angel. In November of the same year he was reading Valery Bryusov’s novel, “The Fiery Angel.” At the same time he was establishing a closer relationship with his future wife, Lina Codina. For various reasons the composition of The Fiery Angel endured over many years. In April of 1920 at the Metropolitan Opera, none of his three operas - The Gambler, The Love for Three Oranges, and The Fiery Angel - were accepted for staging. He received no additional support from his colleagues Sergi Diaghilev, Igor Stravinsky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and Pierre Souvchinsky, who did not care for the subject of Bryusov’s plot. Despite his unsuccessful attempts to have the work premiered, he continued working and moved from the U.S. to Europe, where he continued to compose, finishing the first edition of The Fiery Angel. He married Lina Codina in 1923. Several years later, while posing for portrait artist Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva, the composer learned about the mysteries of a love triangle between Bryusov, Andrey Bely and Nina Petrovskaya.

  • A Sourcebook on Feminist Theatre and Performance: on and Beyond the Stage/Edited by Carol Martin; with an Introduction by Jill Dolan
    A SOURCEBOOK OF FEMINIST THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance brings together key articles first published in The Drama Review (TDR), to provide an intriguing overview of the development of feminist theatre and performance. Divided into the categories of “history,” “theory,” “interviews,” and “texts,” the materials in this collection allow the reader to consider the developments of feminist theatre through a variety of perspectives. This book contains the seminal texts of theorists such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes’ Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley’s The Constant State of Desire. The outstanding diversity of this collection makes for an invaluable sourcebook. A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance will be read by students and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as those interested in the performance of sexualities and genders. Carol Martin is Assistant Professor of Drama at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. WORLDS OF PERFORMANCE What is a “performance”? Where does it take place? Who are the participants? Not so long ago these were settled questions, but today such orthodox answers are unsatisfactory, misleading, and limiting. “Performance” as a theoretical category and as a practice has expanded explosively. It now comprises a panoply of genres ranging from play, to popular entertainments, to theatre, dance, and music, to secular and religious rituals, to “performance in everyday life,” to intercultural experiments, and more. For nearly forty years, The Drama Review (TDR), the journal of performance studies, has been at the cutting edge of exploring these questions.
