His collection contains correspondence, advertisements, magazines, programs, newspaper articles, photographs, scrapbooks, and A/V materials from his time as a dancer and as the director of the University of Oklahoma School of Dance. Identification MT-008 Biographical Note Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, to a Ukrainian immigrant father and a Charraúa Indian mother, Miguel Terekhov fell in love with dance at age seven after watching a ballet performance. He went on to have a professional career in ballet, dancing with two of the most influential touring companies of the 20th century. From 1942-47, Terekhov performed with Colonel Wassily de Basil's Original Ballets Russe and then with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo from 1954-58 as a principal dancer. He was best known as performer of character roles, such as the Shah in Scheherazade, Hilarion in Giselle, Dr. Coppelius in Coppelia, and as the General and Headmistress in Graduation Ball. While on tour with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, he met and married the famous Oklahoma Indian ballerina, Yvonne Chouteau. In 1961, they founded what is now the School of Dance at the University of Oklahoma. In 1963, they became the first artistic directors of the Oklahoma City Civic Ballet, now the Oklahoma City Ballet, bringing in numerous internationally acclaimed dancers to perform with the company in its early years As Chair of the (then) Department of Dance at OU, Terekhov designed a rigorous curriculum that is still largely followed today. He choreographed over thirty ballets, including 7 full-length ballets, operas and musicals, and taught courses in ballet technique, teaching methods, choreography, and dance history. Scope and Content Note The Miguel Terekhov Collection contains correspondence, photographs, magazines, advertisements, performance programs, souvenir programs, book, scrapbooks, newspaper articles, and A/V materials.

    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

De groep is ontstaan uit een groep Russische vluchtelingen die nooit in Rusland hebben gedanst en splitste zich later op in twee rivaliserende dansgroepen: de ‘Original Ballet Russe’ en de ‘Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo’. De documentaire begint bij de oprichting in 1909 door de befaamde Serge Diaghilev, beschrijft de oprichting van de Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo na de dood van Diaghilev in 1929, het ontstaan van een tweede Ballets Russes groep, de voorspoedige jaren ’30 en ’40 toen het Ballet Russe door Amerika toerde, tot de ondergang in de jaren ’50 en ’60 door stijgende kosten, groeiende ego’s, competitie van buiten en intern wanbeleid. Niet alleen choreografen als Balanchine en Massine, maar ook schilders als Matisse, Dali en Picasso werkten voor de revolutionaire Ballets Russes. Om over componisten als Claude Debussy en Igor Stravinsky nog maar te zwijgen. Wereldsterren als Alicia Markova, Irina Baranova en Marc Platt halen herinneringen op. Velen van de Ballets Russes dansers van weleer zijn nu tachtig of negentig, maar zijn nog steeds actief in de balletwereld.

The Ballets Russes, the pre-eminent ballet company of the early 20th century, was founded in 1909 by Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev.

Noted composers Strauss, Stravinsky, Ravel and Prokoviev wrote scores for the ballet company. Set designers included such renowned painters as Picasso, Matisse, Braque and Miró. Choreographers such as Balanchine, Fokine and Massine, and principal dancers Nijinsky, Karsavina and Danilova served as dominant figures in the ballet world. The company’s cutting-edge productions forever changed audience expectations of ballet as theatre.

  • NATIVE AMERICAN CONNECTIONS at JACOB's PILLOW a Summary Of
    NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS | NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK NATIVE AMERICAN CONNECTIONS AT JACOB’S PILLOW A summary of the intersections between the Pillow and Indigenous peoples and traditions of the Americas, compiled by Jacob’s Pillow Director of Preservation Norton Owen. According to the chapter titled “Indians in Becket” by Pillow neighbor Ruth I. Derby in A Bicentennial History of Becket, the Mohicans camped in Becket during the summer months, hunting moose, deer, and bear, as well as otter, raccoons, beaver, foxes, and other small fur-bearing animals. A later Becket history identified descendants of the Muckhaneek, Narragansett, and Pequot tribes. They collected and dried food for the winter and skins for clothing. They also made maple syrup and sugar and taught settlers to do this. They sold the land to settlers in 1736, though the plans weren’t accurate and Chief Konkapot was upset that traditional hunting grounds were inadvertently included in the property transfer. This discrepancy was later settled with an additional payment that covered all lands west of the Westfield River. There are reportedly Indian burial grounds off George Carter Road, near Jacob’s Pillow. 1933 – During its first summer of Pillow performances, the repertory of Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers includes the Osage-Pawnee Dance of Greeting and a Shawn solo, Invocation to the Thunderbird. 1934 – Ted Shawn revives his Hopi Indian Eagle Dance, originally part of his full-length 1923 production, Feather of the Dawn. A new group work, Ponca Indian Dance, is presented for the first time. 1936 – The first act of a full-evening work, O Libertad!, opens with a section titled Noche Triste de Moctezuma and also includes other sections about Native Americans of the Southwest.

  • Victor M. Moreno: Master of Grace at the Helm of Ballet North
    Real Estate Magazine Editorial 474for Printing VICTOR M. MORENO Master of Grace at the Helm of Ballet North Story by Denice Breaux Since September 2003, dancers on the Mendocino Coast have enjoyed the rare privilege of working with Ballet Master Victor Moreno at Second Story Studios in Fort Bragg. Former soloist with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and founding artistic director of numerous companies, Victor’s credits span many regions and decades. His high caliber of teaching has already made an impact on this coast’s dance scene, offering students of all ages and abilities a solid classical foundation while imbuing a sheer joy of dancing. Typical in Victor Moreno’s classes is a wide range of ages, with even the tiniest of tots occasionally at the barre amid older children, teenagers, and adults. Seventeen-year-old Elyse Bailey comes from Gualala several days a week to class and, although she’s had other teachers, she has made the most progress in the least amount of time while working with Victor. “He’s the most enjoyable teacher I’ve had, but he works you hard so you can’t slack off,” says Elyse who performed en pointe in this year’s Spring Dance Concert. Victor’s warm manner and sense of fun may keep the young ones coming back, but, as a septuagenarian, he inspires those of us past our balletic prime to take up “the dance” either for the first time or once again. Now we have the chance to benefit from his keen insights and personally developed technique—subtle adjustments in placement and timing that make a world of difference in balance, form and stamina.

The superstars Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev danced it with us in 1964, in a production based on the Borovansky Ballet’s. Our founding artistic director, Peggy van Praagh, created her production in 1965; it premiered in Birmingham on the company’s first international tour, and won a Grand Prix for the best production staged in Paris that year. It went on to become one of the most frequently performed ballets in our repertoire. Peggy’s production came to a tragic end when the scenery was consumed by fire on our 1985 regional tour. The artistic director at the time, Maina Gielgud, created her own production a year later.
