  • DANCER of the WEEK – Dominic North Fri 5 August
    DANCER OF THE WEEK – Dominic North Fri 5 August Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty is in Singapore this week at the Esplanade Theatre before heading to Shanghai, China next week. Nick Kyprianou, our Audience Engagement Coordinator got the chance to speak to Dominic this week. Dominic has been with New Adventures since 2004 and has generated quite a following worldwide, performing in many principal roles for the Company. He was first seen in Swan Lake as a Swan and is currently performing as Leo in Sleeping Beauty. You can also catch Dominic as Angelo in cinemas worldwide in the 2015 film recording of The Car Man. Later this year, Dominic will also be playing the role of Julian Craster, who leading lady Victoria Page falls in love with, in the World Premiere of Matthew’s production of The Red Shoes, inspired by the Powell and Pressburger film. A young Dominic being jazzy! When did you start taking dance classes? I started dancing when I was about 9 I think. My twin sister was already taking classes, then this new girl joined the school and started dancing in the same class as her. I fancied her and thought that dance was a good way in. The relationship ended when we went to different secondary schools, it was very sad – haha! Where did your formal training take place? I was at the Nydza School of Dance in Bingley, just outside of Bradford, from when I started dancing until I was 18. I then auditioned for full time dance courses at Laines Theatre Arts, Bird College, Central School of Ballet and Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

Golucke DANC 281 History of Dance Theatre Professor Dr. Jill Nunes Jensen Loyola Marymount University February 6, 2015 Golucke 1 The ballet Swan Lake has proven itself to not only be visually enchanting and beautifully choreographed, but also a timeless story, becoming one of the most well known classical ballets of all time. It has endured constant retellings and re-imaginings, but the original story’s core revolves around the transcendent value of true love, beginning of course with a prince who falls in love with a princess, though she is under a spell that turns her into a swan in the daytime. Reminiscent of other such classical ballets as Sleeping Beauty, only the prince has the power to break the spell, while the princess awaits her fate beautifully, and in the case of Swan Lake, tragically.

  • Nicolle Greenhood Major Paper FINAL.Pdf (4.901Mb)
    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.
