  • Passing of Lawrence Rhodes
    PASSING OF LAWRENCE RHODES Montreal, March 29, 2019 – It was with enormous sadness that Les Grands Ballets learned last night of the death of Lawrence Rhodes (1939-2019), artistic director of the company from 1989 to 1999. A native of Mount Hope, West Virginia, he danced with several companies (including Ballet russe de Monte-Carlo, Robert Joffrey Ballet, Harkness Ballet, Het National Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet). He could be seen dancing with Les Grands Ballets in 1977, before his appointment as artistic director in 1989, a position he filled for ten years. His desire at the time was to “combine the classical-ballet tradition with the renewal of choreographic language.”1 Under his direction, Les Grands Ballets opened up to new esthetic streams, for the first time inviting to the company some of the greatest choreographers of the day: Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, William Forsythe and Montrealer Édouard Lock, among them. “Larry was generous and fair,” remembers Pierre Lapointe, principal ballet master at Les Grands Ballets since 1989. “He had a teaching and dance style that allowed for great freedom. His favorite sentence was ‘Just do it.’” From 2002 to 2017, Lawrence Rhodes served as artistic director of the Dance Division at New York’s prestigious Juilliard School. Les Grands Ballets wishes to offer its sincere condolences to Lawrence Rhodes’s relatives, friends and collaborators, as well as to the entire dance community, who are losing in him a dancer, an artistic director and a teacher who left his mark on his time. With his leaving, a page in Grands Ballets history is turning as well.

  • Ballet Master James Jordan Accepts Post As Ballet Master for Sarasota
    Devon Carney, Artistic Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT : Ellen McDonald 816.444.0052 [email protected] For Tickets: 816.931.2232 www.kcballet.org Ballet Master James Jordan Accepts Post as Ballet Master for Sarasota Ballet Jordan to stay through 2013-14 Season and will return to stage The Nutcracker next season Kansas City, MO (April 10, 2014)— Kansas City Ballet Artistic Director Devon Carney today announced Ballet Master James Jordan has accepted a post as Ballet Master for Sarasota Ballet in Florida. Jordan will remain at Kansas City Ballet through the 2013-14 season and will return for the final year of Todd Bolender’s The Nutcracker this coming December. Jordan has dedicated nearly 30 years of service to Kansas City, first as a member of the Company from 1981-1987 and then as Ballet Master from 1991 to the present. “James has a national reputation as a stager for the ballets of Antony Tudor, working with companies around the country. His recent work with The Sarasota Ballet, which has a deep commitment to the Tudor works, afforded them the opportunity to see his value and shared passion for the historical works of Tudor and others. It was clear that the artistic values both Jordan and The Sarasota Ballet artistic leadership share, provided a natural progression for both parties,” stated Carney. “That said, he will be dearly missed. While technically the role of the Ballet Master is to assist with scheduling and the rehearsals for the Company, James was so, so much more than that. He truly was the ‘glue’ that held us all together.

  • How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World by Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM
    http://news.yahoo.com/how-cuba-produces-some-of-the-best-ballet-dancers-020100947.html How Cuba Produces Some of the Best Ballet Dancers in the World By Noël Duan December 14, 2015 9:01 PM Recent graduates of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba School performing at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana in February 2015. (Photo: Getty Images) This story is part of a weeklong Yahoo series marking one year since the opening of relations between the United States and Cuba. Cuba is well known for many forms of dance, from the mambo and the tango to salsa, the cha- cha and the rumba. But only ballet enthusiasts know that the dance form is one of the country’s biggest cultural exports. In Cuba, ballet is just as popular as baseball, a sport where players from the Cuban national team regularly defect to the major leagues in the United States. Unlike in the United States, where ballet is generally considered highbrow art and Misty Copeland is the only ballerina with a household name, the Cuban government funds ballet training and subsidizes tickets to ballet performances. “Taxi drivers know who the principal dancers are,” Lester Tomé, a dance professor at Smith College and former dance critic in Cuba and Chile, tells Yahoo Beauty. Like Cuban baseball players, Cuban ballet dancers have made international marks around the world, from Xiomara Reyes, the recently retired principal dancer at New York City’s American Ballet Theatre to London’s English National Ballet ballet master Loipa Araújo, regarded as one of the “four jewels of Cuban ballet.” In September 2005, Erika Kinetz wrote in the New York Times that “training, especially Cuban training, has been a key driver of the Latinization of ballet,” an important note, considering that European ballet companies dominated the dance world for decades.
