Picart May 2013 Chair: Anita Anantharam Major: Women’s Studies I begin by examining the conditions of possibility within which a “white” and “non- white” aesthetic in relation to American dance may be characterized, not to totalize these analytic categories, but as a rough heuristic in order to do a genealogy of how one particular white aesthetic – Balanchine’s vision of ballet – becomes enshrined as the paradigmatic case for full copyright protection. But more significantly, the central argument of this thesis is that the effort to win federal copyright protection for dance choreography in the United States was a simultaneously racialized and gendered contest. Copyright and choreography, particularly as tied with whiteness, have a refractory history. Unlike Loïe Fuller and Martha Graham, also both pioneers of American modern dance, George Balanchine, a Russian émigré (and his estate), succeeded in gaining and maintaining full control of his choreographic creations.

  • Entertainer Josephine Baker by Lilyana D’Amato
    The Legacy of Black Musicians: Entertainer Josephine Baker by Lilyana D’Amato In the decade following the First World War, French popular culture was dominated by images of negrophilia: ​ ​ the disconcerting obsession with and seizure of Black — specifically African — culture. Introduced to African folk art through global imperialism and colonialism, the French became fascinated with racialized depictions of the “savage” Black body, fetishizing Blackness through painting, sculpture, film, and performance. In the early 1920s, avant-garde Parisian artists began appropriating Black culture as a means of exploring what they saw as the juxtaposition between the “primitive” and changing notions of modernity. When entertainer Jospehine Baker, the hugely influential African American expatriate, arrived in Paris in 1925, she became the face of this racialized mania. Her body and persona came to signify the exotic, used to satisfy colonialist sexual fantasies. In reviews of Baker’s most iconic performance, her 1925 stage debut in La Revue Nègre, ​ ​ she is almost solely described through animalistic metaphors — as a monkey, a panther, a giraffe, or a snake. In the Parisian newspaper Candide, the reviewer begins: “This is no ​ ​ woman, no dancer. It’s something as exotic and elusive as music, an embodiment of all ​ ​ the sounds we know.” Dehumanized and reduced to something, Baker was, as Scholar Alicja Sowinska ​ ​ explores in her paper Dialectics of the Banana Skirt: The Ambiguities of Josephine ​ Baker’s Self-Representation, “popularly situated in a sort of netherworld, suspended ​ between civilization and savagery, and between the human and the animal.” References to Baker’s ambiguous humanity also appeared in e.e.

Stravinsky is one of the most important neo-classical composers of the twentieth century. The purpose of this document is to examine how Stravinsky upholds his neoclassical aesthetic in his violin writing through his two pieces, Suite italienne and Duo Concertant. In these works, Stravinsky’s use of neoclassicism is revealed in two opposite ways. In Suite Italienne, Stravinsky based the composition upon actual music from the eighteenth century. In Duo Concertant, Stravinsky followed the stylistic features of the eighteenth century without parodying actual music from that era. Important types of violin writing are described in these two works by Stravinsky, which are then compared with examples of eighteenth-century violin writing. iii Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was born in Oranienbaum (now Lomonosov) in Russia near St.

  • 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.
