Among the chained prisoners doomed to slavery are Spartacus and Phrygia. Spartacus is in despair. Born a free man, he is now a slave in chains. Scene 2 The Slave Market. Slave dealers separate the men and women prisoners before they are sold to the rich Romans. Spartacus and Phrygia are separated. Phrygia is overcome with grief as she thinks of the ordeal ahead. Scene 3 Crassus’ Palace. Mimes and courtesans entertain the guests by making fun of Crassus’ new slave, Phrygia. Aegina draws Crassus into a frenzied dance. Drunk with wine and passion, Crassus demands a spectacle: two gladiators are to fight to their deaths in hel - mets with closed visors. When the first gladiator falls, the victor’s helmet is removed. It is Spartacus. Forced to murder a compatriot, Spartacus’ despair evolves into anger. He will no longer tolerate captivity and his only course of action is to win back his freedom. Scene 4 The Gladiators’ Barracks. Spartacus incites the gladiators to revolt. They swear an oath of loyalty to him and break out of the barracks to freedom. Intermission Act II, Scene 1 Having escaped captivity, Spartacus and his followers find themselves on the Appian Way, Spartacus’ followers call upon the area’s shepherds to join the uprising. The shep - herds and the rest of the population proclaim Spartacus as their leader. The thought of Phrygia’s fate as a slave causes Spartacus deep unrest. He is haunted by continual memories of her. Scene 2 Spartacus’ search for Phrygia leads him to Crassus’ villa. The reunited lovers are over - joyed, but are forced to hide due to the arrival of a procession of patricians led by Aegina. Aegina has long dreamed of seducing and gaining power over Crassus. Her goal is to win him over and gain legal admittance to the world of the Roman nobility. Scene 3 At his villa, Crassus celebrates his victories as the patricians sing his praises. The festiv - ities are cut short by news that Spartacus and his men have surrounded the building. The LINCOLN CENTER FESTIVAL 2014 SPARTACUS panic-stricken guests disperse and Crassus and Aegina flee. Spartacus breaks into the villa, renewing his faith that the uprising will be successful. Scene 4 Spartacus’ men have taken Crassus prisoner and are intent upon killing him. However, Spartacus is not bent on revenge and suggests that the two men engage in single- handed combat. Crassus accepts the challenge but is defeated when Spartacus knocks the sword out of his hand. Crassus prepares for death, but Spartacus lets him go. The public knowledge of Crassus’ dishonor is punishment enough. The jubilant insurgents praise Spartacus’ victory. Intermission Act III, Scene 1 Crassus is tormented by his disgrace. Fanning his hurt pride, Aegina calls upon him to take his revenge. There is only one way to proceed: death to the insurgents. Crassus summons his legions, and Aegina sees him off to battle. Spartacus is also Aegina’s enemy too; Crassus’ defeat would also be her downfall. Aegina devises a plan to spread unrest in Spartacus’ encampment. Scene 2 In Spartacus’ encampment Spartacus and Phrygia are happy to be reunited, but his mili - tary commanders bring the news that Crassus is approaching with a large army. Spartacus decides to engage in battle but some of his warriors are overcome by cow - ardice and desert their leader. Scene 3 Aegina infiltrates the ranks of the traitors who might still be persuaded to return to Spartacus. She and the courtesans seduce the men with wine and dance. Once she has lured the traitors into a trap, she hands them over to Crassus. Crassus is consumed by his desire for revenge. Spartacus will pay with his life for the humiliation he forced Crassus to undergo. Scene 4 Spartacus’ forces are surrounded by the Roman legions and his loyal followers perish in an unequal combat. He fights fearlessly up until the last moments when Roman soldiers close in on the wounded hero and crucify him on their spears. Phrygia, mourning her beloved, retrieves Spartacus’ body from the battlefield. Raising her arms toward the sky, she appeals to heaven that the memory of Spartacus will live forever.

    Cuban National Ballet: 65 Years on Stage

    Cuban National Ballet: 65 Years on Stage Cubans are celebrating the 65th anniversary of one of the top five ballet companies, an ensemble that has gained international prestige and won awards and recognition in the world throughout the years. Alicia, Fernando and Alberto Alonso founded the Alicia Alonso Ballet with an opening show at Havana’s Auditorium Theater on October 28th, 1948. The company’s opening performance included a cast made up of dancers from the Cuban Pro-Arte Musical Society and dancers of the New York based American Ballet Theater. Fernando Alonso, his wife Alicia and his brother Alberto Alonso thus got involved in the historic event of setting up the Alicia Alonso Ballet, which will later be known as Cuban Ballet and currently as Cuban National Ballet Company. The Alicia Alonso Academy was created by Fernando and Alicia in 1950, planting the seed of what will later be considered one of the most outstanding results of Cuban Ballet: the Cuban Ballet School. At the academy which was aimed at training the first generations of professional Cuban ballet dancers, the Alonso’s conducted a serious research aimed at creating a unique teaching method that, with the passage of time, has led to what is known today as the internationally recognized and praised Cuban ballet school, whose style was discovered and singled out for the first time by renowned British dance critic and professor, Arnold Haskell, in the 1960’s. In the period between 1948 and 1956, Fernando Alonso knew how to face the apathy and misunderstandings of the Cuban governments which denied the most basic support for cultural efforts such as the Cuban ballet.

    Dancing Through the City and Beyond: Lives, Movements and Performances in a Romanian Urban Folk Ensemble

    Dancing through the city and beyond: Lives, movements and performances in a Romanian urban folk ensemble Submitted to University College London (UCL) School of Slavonic and East European Studies In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) By Elizabeth Sara Mellish 2013 1 I, Elizabeth Sara Mellish, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the lives, movements and performances of dancers in a Romanian urban folk ensemble from an anthropological perspective. Drawing on an extended period of fieldwork in the Romanian city of Timi şoara, it gives an inside view of participation in organised cultural performances involving a local way of moving, in an area with an on-going interest in local and regional identity. It proposes that twenty- first century regional identities in southeastern Europe and beyond, can be manifested through participation in performances of local dance, music and song and by doing so, it reveals that the experiences of dancers has the potential to uncover deeper understandings of contemporary socio-political changes. This micro-study of collective behaviour, dance knowledge acquisition and performance training of ensemble dancers in Timi şoara enhances the understanding of the culture of dance and dancers within similar ensembles and dance groups in other locations. Through an investigation of the micro aspects of dancers’ lives, both on stage in the front region, and off stage in the back region, it explores connections between local dance performances, their participants, and locality and the city.

    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.
