YAGP 2015 Semi-Finals YAGP 2015 Semi-finals Denver, CO February 27 - March 1, 2015 Dear Participants, Parents and Teachers, It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the YAGP 2015 Semi-Finals in Denver, CO! We hope you will enjoy learning from each other as well as the many distinguished dance professionals gathered here. As many of you already know, we have designed the YAGP experience in such a way that every participant, regardless of their level of training or career goals, can benefit greatly from the multitude of educational and professional opportunities available throughout the event. Competition entries are organized by birth date starting with our youngest participants. The only exceptions to this order are special considerations due to costume changes. We are proud to say that in only 16 short years YAGP has become the largest student scholarship competition in the world. This is in large part due to the support of our participants and participating schools.

  • Dracula Media Kit R3
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 11, 2011 Contact: Erika Overturff, (402) 541-6946 ROMANTIC, CHILLING 'DRACULA' OPENS BALLET NEBRASKA'S SECOND SEASON OMAHA -- He's evil, drinks blood, and sleeps in a coffin. Could there really be more to Count Dracula than those Halloween clichés? Yes, says Ballet Nebraska in Dracula, its season-opening performance at 8 pm October 28 at Omaha's Orpheum Theater. The ballet portrays the vampire count as both a monster and as a man with emotions and vulnerabilities, choreographer Winthrop Corey said. Corey, artistic director of Alabama's Mobile Ballet, said he began the creative process by reading both Bram Stoker's classic 1897 horror novel and scholars' commentaries about it. His research raised a question in his mind: What made Dracula who he was? "Bram Stoker never told us how Dracula got to be a vampire," he said. "I say that he is a man who, through circumstances we don't know, is turned into a monster. Yet he is still a man inside this monster's body, who can kill, but who can also fall in love. And therein lies the ballet; I designed it around that." To develop the choreography, Corey said, he started with the relationship between Count Dracula and the novel's two key female characters: the flirtatious Lucy and her more insightful best friend, Mina. "What I did was narrow it down to three characters -- Lucy, Mina and Dracula -- and the difference between his relationship with Lucy and his relationship with Mina," he said. "One of them he kills and makes a vampire bride; the other one he actually falls in love with.

    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.

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

One such person is Ilze Liepa, principal dancer for the Bolshoi Ballet and Russian movie actress. The Moscow Company has been heralded as the finest dance troupe in the world. Responding to her invitations, I attended dance classes and spoke to her colleagues at the Bolshoi Theatre about nutrition, strength training and back pain. In September of 1994, I also traveled to recently popularized Yekaterinburg, the City of Katherine The Great near Siberia. Remember the legendary Russian Czarist couple Nicholas and Alexandria? I held a similar discussion with their dance company, The State Ballet Theater. First a little background. Ballet is revered in Russia. Government backing allows most dance companies to hold classes, rehearsals and performances in their own facilities. On the contrary, American dance companies struggle to exist, especially after 911’s shifting of Federal funds for the performing arts to national security, as done especially during recessions. Most rent studios and theaters which adds to their already compromised financial situations. Owning their own theaters are privileges seldom realized. In The Rehearsal Before class the dancers greeted each with solemn nods to their fellow dancers and the dance captain, respectfully acknowledging their presence.
