Export: Opus Jazz, choreographed for his newly formed company, Ballets: USA, had its premiere in Spoleto, Italy at the Festival dei Due Mondi. Following closely on the heels of West Side Story, the new ballet, which featured a commissioned score by Robert Prince and backdrops by Ben Shahn, proved to be a hit with audiences both abroad and back at home. In spite of this initial success, Opus Jazz was performed infrequently over the years. In 2005, the New York City Ballet (NYCB) restaged the work, an experience that gave two of its cast members, Ellen Bar and Sean Suozzi, the idea of adapting the ballet for film. One of the first hurdles they faced in getting Opus Jazz to the screen was winning the approval of the Robbins Rights Trust (which licenses the work of the choreographer) ― a process that involved extensive archival research. I spoke with Ellen by phone shortly after the film‘s official release on DVD and she was generous in sharing her experiences with using archives as part of the filmmaking process. The DVD package includes the director‘s cut of A Ballet in Sneakers: Jerome Robbins and Opus Jazz, a documentary commissioned by PBS that puts the ballet into historic context, as well as a United States Information Department short film, Jerome Robbins’ Ballets: USA, which includes footage of the original cast rehearsing the final movement of the ballet. ‖Statics‖ section with Georgina Why did you choose Opus Jazz to film? ―Wouldn‗t it be great if, like West Side Story, this Pazcoguin, Adam Hendrickson, What was the particular connection you was really out on the street and happening Andrew Veyette, and Robert and Sean [Suozzi] felt with the material? now.‖ Fairchild of NYCB Sean and I both danced in the revival in 2005.

  • Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"
    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

  • H-France Review Vol. 15 (August 2015), No. 104 Juliet Bellow, Modernism on Stage
    H-France Review Volume 15 (2015) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 15 (August 2015), No. 104 Juliet Bellow, Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde. Farnham and Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2013. xviii + 280 pp. $119.95 U.S. (cl). ISBN-10: 1409409112. Review by Danijela Špirić-Beard, University of Nottingham. In her monograph Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde, Juliet Bellow uses four relatively unexplored productions--Parade (1917), Cléopâtre (1918), Le Chant du Rossignol (1920) and Le Bal (1929)--to forge an alternative narrative about the Ballets Russes and to restore the company’s central position within the Parisian art world of the 1910s and 1920s. Bellow’s focus on designs by Pablo Picasso, Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse and Giorgio de Chirico highlights the complex relationship between Diaghilev’s troupe and the Parisian avant-garde, and spotlights the fascinating and challenging process of transferring two-dimensional artwork (paintings/sketches) to the three-dimensional space of the stage (stage designs/costumes). Modernism on Stage analyses these transformations, tracing forms and ideas as they migrated from painting to stage and back again, and then considers the impact such collaborative ventures had on the artists’ outputs as a whole. In doing so, Bellow prompts new readings of each artist’s oeuvre and of the Ballets Russes in the context of Parisian avant-garde experiments with cubism, simultanism, fauvism and surrealism. The book comprises five main chapters, with a short introduction and a conclusion. The first chapter contextualizes orientalism and the commercial nature of Diaghliev’s pre-war enterprise (Schéhérazade, the Firebird), offset by subsequent radical experiments in L'Après-midi d'un Faune and the Rite of Spring (especially Nijinsky’s choreography).
