Latta, Ph.D. Abstract The focus of this ethnographic study is to examine the industry-wide culture of the American ballet. Two additional research questions guided the investigation: what attributes, and their light and dark dimensions, are valued among individuals selected for leadership roles within the culture, and how does the ballet industry nurture these attributes? An understanding of the culture was garnered through observations and interviews conducted in three classically-based professional ballet companies in the United States: one located in the Rocky Mountain region, one in the Midwestern region, and one in the Pacific Northwest region. Data analysis brought forth cultural and leadership themes revealing an industry consumed by “the ideal” to the point that members are willing to make sacrifices, both at the individual and organizational levels, for the pursuit of beauty. The ballet culture was found to expect its leaders to manifest the light dimensions of attributes valued by the culture, because these individuals are elevated to the extent that they “become the culture,” but they also allow these individuals to simultaneously exemplify the dark dimensions of these attributes.

  • 08 Tate Modern in the Studio
    1 Antony Gormley (b. 1950), Untitled (for Francis), 1985 (Room 1), lead, plaster, polyester resin and fibreglass 1900 × 1170 × 290cm Giovanni Bellini, St Francis in Ecstasy, 1479-85 • Finding Meaning. In this room we have two apparently contrasting works. Over there an abstract work by Eva Hesse and here a human figure by Antony Gormley. They represent contrasting approaches that are explored in the following rooms. Gormley is best known for The Angel of the North (see Visual Aids) an enormous sculpture on a hill near Newcastle. • Construction. This work is called Untitled (for Francis) and was made in 1985. Like many of his other works it was made directly from his own body. He was wrapped in clingfilm by his wife, who is also an artist, and then covered in two layers of plaster. When it had dried the cast was cut from his body, reassembled and then covered in fibreglass and resin. Twenty-four sheets of lead were then hammered over the figure and soldered together. If you look closely you will see that the figure has been pierced in the breast, hands and feet by small holes cut in the lead. • St. Francis. The attitude of the eyeless figure, standing with head tilted back, feet apart and arms extended to display the palms of its hands, resembles that of a Christian saint receiving the stigmata. Stigmata are the five marks left on Christ’s 2 body by the Crucifixion although one of the wounds here is in the breast, rather than, as tradition dictates, in the side.

  • The Nutcracker—Act I
    The Children’s Educaon Program Of Performing Arts Fort Worth At Bass Performance Hall — presents — The Nutcracker—Act I For Third Grade Students December 13 & 17-18, 2019 Bass Performance Hall · 4th & Calhoun Streets · Fort Worth, TX 76102 2 Dear Teachers, We are thrilled to bring Texas Ballet Theater’s magical performance of The Nutcracker Ballet to third graders. So many beautiful memories are made each holiday season during performances of this immortal childhood favorite. Because the entire performance is over 2 ½ hours long, we will present only the first act, which is approximately 45 -50 minutes in length. While the first act does not include “Waltz of the Flowers” or the “Russian Trepak,” there are still many special moments in store for them. Please introduce your students to all the music found in the Nutcracker Suite, encouraging them to imagine what the ballet dancers would do during these sections. This is some of the world’s most favorite music and should be a part of every child’s repertoire. Many TEKS objectives can be met with the material covered in this study guide. We have listed them collectively so that you may choose those that fit the needs of your students. We have also included two versions of the story— one that more advanced students may want to read or can be read to the class as a whole and one that many third grade students can read. Choose the one that is better suited to your students. But please DO read one before coming to the performance! Language Arts and Reading: 110.5 Student listens attentively

  • Impression, Sunrise Haystacks
    Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet This painting, done in 1872, gave the name to the Impres- sionist movement. It shows the port of Le Havre in France, the artists hometown. This painting is one of a series that showed the port at different times of day, in different quali- ties of light. The purpose of the painting was to capture the essence of the light, the colors, the mood of the scene, not to reproduce the details faithfully. The two row boats in the center and the red sun are the focal points of the painting. The tall masted ships and the smokestacks in the hazy distance are less a focus, but con- tribute to the modern feeling of the painting. Completed just after the Franco-Prussia war, this was a statement of patriotism and optimism for a modern thriving France. Haystacks (sunset) by Claude Monet This is one of 25 paintings of haystacks done by Monet during the summer and fall of 1890 through the early spring of 1891. The haystacks were an ordinary feature of grain fields near Monet’s home in Giverny during the fall harvest. They protected the heads of wheat until the threshing ma- chines could be brought round to the various farms. Mon- et’s purpose was to capture how the changing light and seasons affected the homey scene. He and his stepdaugh- ter, Blanche, carted dozens of canvasses to and from the fields each day and Monet worked on them in turn, as the light most closely resembling a particular painting returned. Water Lilies and the Japanese Bridge by Claude Monet Painted in the artist’s garden at Giverny, this painting was done in 1897-99 after the artist finally began to achieve some financial success as a painter.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon Little Dancer Aged Fourteen (cover) holds a unique place in the work of Edgar Degas (1834!–!1917). Among the more than one hundred sculp- tures he created in wax, clay, and other materials, it is the only one he ever chose to exhibit. At least thirty bronze and two plaster versions of it were cast after his death, all of them based on Degas’s original wax-and- clay sculpture!—!the sole version he ever touched!—!which is now at the National Gallery of Art. This exhibition places the statuette amid a select group of other works by Degas with ballet subjects from the Gallery’s collections, as well as an oil painting (fig. 1) and a pastel drawing from the Corcoran Collection. The Paris Opera Ballet fascinated Degas for more than forty years. Descended from an academy established in 1661 by King Louis "#$, it became a leading cultural institution of nineteenth-century France, its audiences packed with the elite of Parisian society. The Opera Ballet o%ered Degas a contemporary social setting full of brilliant color, elabo- rate sets, and beautiful costumes; above all it a%orded the opportunity to study the human figure in motion.

Upon Degas's death inmore than figurative Degas and the Little Dancer were found in his studio. Most were made of fragile wax, clay, and plastiline a wax- and oil-based modeling material. Many had deteriorated. Only a few were preserved in copies that had been cast from them in plaster. Although Degas had not favored reproducing his sculptures in more permanent materials, his heirs authorized that copies be cast in bronze in order to preserve the compositions and to sell them as finished works. The quality of the Degas bronzes was tightly controlled and their edition was limited. Only twenty-two editions of the series of 72 figures were cast. Each bronze within the series was assigned a number from one to seventy-two. The first twenty editions were assigned a letter from A-T. In most cases these numbers and letters were incised on the individual bronzes. The series of 72 bronzes was completed before May when it was exhibited in Paris. Edition A, comprising the first and best casts of the series, was reserved for the important Impressionist collector Mrs. She later acquired the first bronze cast of the Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer lettered A, but not numberedwhich had been omitted from the initial series.

  • Edgar Degas (1834 – 1917) 19Th – 20Th Century France
    Impressionist/Realist Painter Edgar Degas (1834 – 1917) 19th – 20th century France Edgar Degas (Ed-gar De-GAH) French “Impressionist” [Realist] Painter Impressionist Period of Art B: 19 July, 1834, Paris France D: 27 September 1917, Paris France Named for both his grandfathers, Hilaire Germaine Edgar Degas was born in Paris in 1834. As the son of a French-Italian banker and an American mother from New Orleans, Degas had an unusual heritage for the time; his uncles included Giuseppe Morbilli, the Italian Duc di Saint Angelo, and Norbert Rillieux, the famous African-American Chemical Engineer. Growing up, Edgar’s banker father provided an excellent classical education for Edgar and his brothers and sisters. After graduation, Edgar began to study law, but soon abandoned it for painting. His father’s financial support allowed the adult Edgar the freedom to paint anything without having to worry about supporting himself through his art. He visited his Italian relatives and studied the Renaissance artists, went to art school in Paris and later, visited his American family in New Orleans, paintings portraits and scenes from their post-Civil War cotton export business. After returning to France in 1874, his father died and Degas and his French siblings discovered their youngest brother, Rene, who ran the export business in New Orleans, had run up enormous business loans against his father’s bank before running away. The bank collapsed. To preserve the family’s name and reputation, Edgar and his siblings sold much of their inherited properties and paintings, and for the first time, Edgar Degas had to live by his brush.
