Costume Design: Michael Montgomery My work, 1964, was inspired by the music from the movie “One Night in Miami.” Journey back to a time when women struggled to remain true to their identity without the stereotypical “house wife” scenario. I chose to balance both worlds as I explored love, betrayal, empowerment and the fine line of truth. Women have always had a voice. It just took some time to be heard.

  • The Choreographer Lar Lubovitch, Who Has Been Making Dances for 50 Years, Is Known for His Musicality
    The choreographer Lar Lubovitch, who has been making dances for 50 years, is known for his musicality. CreditGeorge Etheredge for The New York Times Lar Lubovitch: His Palette? All Arms and Legs. Mr. Lubovitch, who’s been a choreographer for 50 years, talks about his work and learning from the best: Graham, Limón and the stage of a nightclub. By MARINA HARSSAPRIL 13, 2018 The choreographer Lar Lubovitch didn’t discover dance until college, where he had gone in hopes of becoming a painter. The impulse to fill a canvas hasn’t left him. When he describes making a dance, he does so not only in kinetic terms but through the prism of painting: “I’m reacting to the effect the music has on me and making that visual by painting the space and the time that the music is occupying,” he said recently over lunch at a cafe near his Chelsea apartment He has been painting with bodies for 50 years now, a milestone that he is celebrating with a weeklong run at the Joyce, beginning April 17. The dances on view date back to his “Brahms Symphony,” from 1985, a work he considers a watershed in his career. It vividly embodies the two qualities for which he has come to be known: lush musicality and unabashed emotionalism. (It will be performed by dancers from George Mason University, for whom he restaged it earlier this year.) For his own company, he has created a new dance, “Something About Night,” which contains passages from previous works, many of them forgotten.

When Tanny was 3, they moved to New York where Jacques Le Clercq taught romance languages. Tanny began ballet training in New York at age 5, studying with Mikhail Mordkin. She eventually transitioned to the School of American Ballet, which George Balanchine had founded in 1934. Balanchine discovered Tanny as a student there. He cast her as Choleric in The Four Temperaments at the tender age of 15, along with the great prima ballerinas in his company, then called Ballet Society. Before long she was dancing solo roles as a member of Ballet Society, never having danced in the corps de ballet. Some of Balanchine’s most memorable ballets were choreographed on Tanny; notably Symphony in C, La Valse, Concerto Barocco and Western Symphony . She was the original Dew Drop in The Nutcracker. Jerome Robbins was also fascinated with Tanny; famously attributing his enchantment with her unique style of dancing with his decision to join the New York City Ballet and work under Balanchine as both a dancer and choreographer. It was there he created his radical version of Afternoon of a Faun on Tanny.

    Fall 1999 65 Raging Mothers: Maternal Subjectivity and Desire in the Dance Theater of Martha Graham Katharine Power During the 1940s Martha Graham created the now familiar genre of large- scale dance dramas that defined her repertory in its so-called mature period and brought her both national and international acclaim. These dance dramas were the result of Graham's interest in translating the great tales of classical mythology, western literature, and the Judeo-Christian tradition into choreographic narratives that featured a female protagonist whose internal struggle determined the dramatic action. Dances such as Errand into the Maze (the tale of Ariadne's encounter with the Minotaur); Seraphic Dialogue (the story of Joan of Arc); and Clytemnestra (a dance version of the Oresteia)1 exemplify Graham's reconfiguration of dramatic narrative structure into choreographic form. That these dance dramas have traditionally been interpreted through the framework of psychoanalytic theory is a function of the pervasive influence of both Freudian and Jungian ideas on postwar American art as well as Graham's own enthusiasm for a Jungian world-view, an enthusiasm inspired by, among others, her long-time friend and colleague, Joseph Campbell.2 Histories of Graham agree that the distinguishing feature of Graham's artistry at mid-century was her encounter with psychoanalytic theories prevalent and the influence of those theories on her choreographic process and attendant thematic concerns. What is proposed here, however, is that the dance dramas of Graham did not in fact serve as unmediated artistic renderings of current psychoanalytic thought, but instead contested the received discourses of Freud and Jung by challenging the very premises that structure discussions of female subjectivity and female desire, specifically with respect to the figure of the Mother.
