The Boy ... I am playing with the sad rope of time ...

His Youth WARREN CONOVER ... springtime makes doors, the wind is an open hand, we must yet begin to love.

His Parents BONNIE MATHIS, DALE MUCHMORE ... soon we will all have died, what is memory? What is love?

"N.Y. EXPORT, Op. JAZZ"

Choreography by Jerome Robbins Restaged with the assistance of Wilma Curley Music by Robert Prince Scenery by Ben Shahn Costumes by Ben Shahn & Florence Klotz Lighting by Nicholas Cernovitch after Jean Rosenthal Conductor: Robert Rogers

"N.Y. EXPORT, Op. JAZZ" was first performed by JEROME ROBBINS' BALLET: USA at the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy in June of 1958. The following are the program notes from that production which concern the youth and of the late 50's.

"There has always been a tremendous amount of popular dancing in America. At this time its vitality has reached a new high, developing and expanding in form and style from the major and basic contributions ofthe Negro and Latin-American. Because of a strong unconscious emotional kinship with those minority roots, the teenagers, particularly, have popularized these dances. Feeling very much like a minority group in this threatening and explosive world, the young have so identified with the dynamics, kinetic impetus, the drives and "coolness" of today's jazz steps that these dances have become an expression of our youth's outlook and their attitudes toward the contemporary world around them, just as each era's dance has significantly reflected the character of our changing world and a manner of dealing with it.

"N.Y. EXPORT, Op. JAZZ" is a formal, abstract ballet based on the kinds of movements, complexities of rhythms, expressions of relationships and qualities of atmospheres found in today's dance."
