Blicke ich auf die letzten zehn Jahre zurück, so waren an die 100 Solisten von rund 30 international renommierten Compagnien aus ganz Europa, Russland und den USA zu Gast in Karlsruhe. Stars aus mehr als 25 Ländern haben Ihnen zahlreiche Einblicke in die faszinierend vielfältige Tanzgeschichte geboten und Sie mit ihrer technischen und expressiven Virtuosität verzaubert. Solch eine Zwischenbilanz ist beachtlich. Heute Abend nehmen Sie Solisten führender Compagnien wie des Bolschoi Ballett, des New York City Ballet, des Staatsballetts Berlin und des Stuttgarter Balletts – gemeinsam mit meiner Karlsruher Compagnie – auf eine unterhaltsame und abwechslungsreiche Reise durch die Ballettgeschichte. Der Bogen reicht von Klassikern wie Don Quijote und Giselle über Stars and Stripes des neoklassischen Choreografen par excellence Geor- ge Balanchine und den von John Cranko 1967 für Heinz Clauss und mich kreierten Pas de deux Aus Holbergs Zeit bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Werken wie Light Rain mit den Startänzern Lucia Lacarra und Marlon Dino. Unser Orchester, die wunderbare BADISCHE STAATSKAPELLE, wird unter der musikalischen Leitung von Steven Moore und Daniele Squeo die größten Teile der Musik live zum Klingen bringen. Diesen besonderen Abend, die Jubiläumsgala, möchte ich dem Andenken an den legen- dären Choreografen und Begründer des „Stuttgarter Ballettwunders“ John Cranko, der dieses Jahr 90 Jahre alt geworden wäre, widmen. Sein Erbverwalter Dieter Gräfe hat mir die Rechte an Aus Holbergs Zeit als großzügiges Geschenk überlassen, was eine Ehre und eine Auszeichnung darstellt. Feiern Sie nun mit uns und freuen Sie sich auf einen Abend vollendeter Tanzkunst!

  • O Brasil Descobre a Dança Descobre O Brasil
    O TALHO NA CMESMIE Os milênios pertencem a ordenações soberanas. Conversas de fim de século geralmente tratam de momentos críticos e decisões irrevogáveis. As de agora, sopram prováveis e variados holocaustos, mas também diversas possibilidades de redenção. Clamam por urgências ecológicas, pela atenção com a saúde pessoal e do planeta; redimensionam questões nacionais, uma vez que as novas tecnologias de informação estão desenhando um mundo por conhecer. Qual o figurino indicado para uma troca de milênio? O motor do ato, aqui, se impele dos traços nascidos nos últimos anos deste 1900, mas não marcha nas hostes milenaristas (como se comportar perante os três zeros das datas que serão cabeçalhos de nossa futura correspondência? Zero-pai, zero-filho, zero-espírito santo, como diz Peter Sloterdijk?). Nem se abriga nas dobras amigáveis de uma historiografia oficial, cronológica na sua seqüência linear. Primeiro, porque ela não está sequer escrita. E depois, singrar outras faces em paisagens conhecidas é o que abre o breu. Na ausência de pernas, cavalgaremos com a ciência. Ciência: do que se desprende o nosso cotidiano. Às vezes, nem atentamos para sua presença. Distraídos, continuamos pensando que se trata de exclusividade de laboratório de cientista. Mas não. Escolher uma hipótese (por que uma, aquela, e não qualquer outra?), testá-la indutivamente e, em seguida, elaborar uma dedução a respeito das conclusões obtidas é o que cada um de nós faz a cada dia quando, por exemplo, abre a janela e escolhe com que roupa vai sair de casa. O ponto de partida, a idéia básica do trabalho, se centra num fenômeno tipicamente brasileiro conhecido por Ballet Stagium.

    Teacher’s Handbook 1 Edited by: Carol Meeder – Director of Arts Education February 2006 Cover Photo: Jennifer Langenstein – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Aaron Ingley – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Corps de Ballet Dancer Ric Evans – Photographer 2 Introduction Dear Educator, We have often thanked you, the academic community and educators of our children, for being partners with us in Arts Education. We have confirmed how the arts bring beauty, excitement, and insight into the experience of everyday living. Those of us who pursue the arts as the work of our lives would find the world a dark place without them. We have also seen, in a mirror image from the stage, how the arts bring light, joy, and sparkle into the eyes and the lives of children and adults in all walks of life. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre strives not only to entertain but to demonstrate the significance and importance of presenting our art in the context of past history, present living, and vision for the future. In this quest we present traditional ballets based on classic stories revered for centuries, such as Coppelia and Cinderella; and contemporary ballets by artists who are living, working, and creating everyday, such as our jazz program Indigo In Motion and the premiers we have done to the music of Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. In this way we propel our art into the future, creating new classics that subsequent generations will call traditional. It is necessary to see and experience both, past and present. It enhances our life and stirs new ideas. We have to experience where we came from in order to develop a clear vision of where we want to go.

  • Press Information → 2020/21 Season
    Press Information → 2020/21 Season THE VIENNA ① STATE BALLET 2020/21 »Along with my team and my dancers, I intend to work towards developing the Vienna State Ballet into a major hotspot of the art of dance in Austria and Europe forming an ensemble that reflects and inspires the traditions, changes and innovations of the lively metropolis, city of art and music, Vienna.« Martin Schläpfer Martin Schläpfer takes over the direction of the Vienna State Ballet with the 2020 / 21 season. The renowned Swiss choreographer and ballet director has recently led the multi-award-winning Ballett am Rhein Düsseldorf Duisburg to international acclaim. His works fascinate with their intensity, their virtuosity, their deeply moving images and a concise language of movement, which is understood as making music with the body, but always reflects the atmosphere and questions of today’s world. Several performances offer the opportunity to encounter Martin Schläpfer’s art – including two world premieres: Two new pieces for Vienna are being created to Gustav Mahler’s 4th Symphony and Dmitri Shostakovich’s 15th Symphony, which also mark the beginning of the intensive creative dialogue that Martin Schläpfer will be establishing with the artists of his ensemble in the coming years. As director, Martin Schläpfer is a bridge-builder who will naturally continue to cultivate the great ballet traditions, but will also enrich the programme with important contemporary artists and a great variety of choreographic signatures. The masters of American neo-classical ballet George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins will continue to be among the fixed stars of the Vienna repertoire, as will the Dutchman Hans van Manen.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The World Ballet Festival Returns for Summer 2018 From the 14th World Ballet FestivalPhoto: Kiyonori Hasegawa For more than 40 years now, the most talented and renowned dancers have come to Tokyo from around the world to perform in the World Ballet Festival, which will once again be held this summer. When it was first introduced in 1976 under the leadership of Tadatsugu Sasaki, it was very rare for the star ballerinas of different companies or countries to share a stage. Its first edition caused an international sensation by bringing together three legends, Margot Fonteyn from the UK, Maya Plisetskaya from the Soviet Union and Alicia Alonso from Cuba. Since then stars such as Jorge Donn, Patrick Dupond, Sylvie Guillem, Alessandra Ferri, Manuel Legris and Vladimir Malakhov have become regular participants, bringing the audiences to a storm of excitement every time and inspiring them to watch and compare all the dancers perform. The circle of energy created between audiences and artists in this festival produces an atmosphere that motivates dancers to perform to the best of their abilities, and has resulted in many legendary performances. Featuring the world's leading dancers, all from different artistic backgrounds and representing a wide variety of repertoire and styles, the festival also offers an opportunity to observe an overview of today's ballet scene. While there are now many similar festivals, the quality of both artists and audiences at the World Ballet Festival continues to be amongst the highest in the world. Ballet is an art form that unites finely tuned bodies and minds with sophisticated powers of expression, to create a deep and lasting impression on the audience members.
