PERFORMANCE Nantucket High School Mary P. Walker Auditorium July 27 & 28, 2012

Known By Heart “Junk” Duet Music: Selections from Junk Music by Donald Knaack Choreography: ©Twyla Tharp Staged by: Stacy Caddell Original Costume Design: Santo Loquasto Original Lighting Design: Jennifer Tipton Dance Festival Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: 2001, Twyla Tharp Dance. LAPAC. This ballet is dedicated to the memory of Bob Patino.

Ashley Bouder Sascha Radetsky

In this dance, Tharp takes the formal structure of the classical duet (an adagio, two solos and a coda) into a contemporary realm through the witty, fierce, sometimes combative, and always surprising relationship she creates between the partners.

The piece is so named because it is set to a percussion piece, “Junk Music” by Donald Knaack, who composes and performs on found objects and materials that have been discarded by others, the Known By Heart (“Junk”) Duet allows dancers used to the classics to transcend their normal roles and perform with light-hearted give and take.

Les Bourgeois Music: Les Bourgeois by Jacques Brel Choreography: Ben van Cauwenbergh Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: 2003, Ballet Des Hessischen Staatstheaters Wiesbaden; 2008 Gauthier Dance Theaterhaus Stuttgart

Daniil Simkin

European dancer and choreographer Ben Van Cauwenbergh set Les Bourgeois to the famous Flemish chanson singer Jacques Brel’s song of the same title, which was recorded in 1962. It is a dancing and acting tour de force featuring one male dancer. ’s Daniil Simkin has performed Les Bourgeois many times including at the International Ballet Competition in Helsinki, Finland in 2005, where he was awarded the Grand Prix, and on the FOX Television show “So You Think You Can Dance” in July of 2011.

After The Rain Pas de Deux Music: Spiegel Im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt Choreography: Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: January 22, 2005, , New York State Theater, New York, NY.

Maria Kowroski Martin Harvey

Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain is a ballet of bold movements and heartfelt emotion. The final pas de deux, danced to Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel, is a series of unfolding partnering , in which the dancers explore the shifting emotions of their relationship. At times they are close and tender with one another, while at other times they inhabit the same space but are separated and searching for one another.

Two Hearts Pas de Deux (Friday, July 27 performance only)

Music: Two Hearts by Choreography: Benjamin Millepied Lighting: Mark Stanley after Brad Fields Premiere: May 10, 2012, New York City Ballet, David H. Koch Theater, NY.

Tiler Peck Tyler Angle

Two Hearts made its world premiere in May of 2012 at the New York City Ballet’s Spring Gala. Benjamin Millepied and composer Nico Muhly have created four pieces together since 2007. In this latest collaboration, they recieved their inspiration from a European folksong called “Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor” and the idea that the song’s story (the tale of a failed marriage) illustrated a strong sense of community. The ballet’s pas de deux was performed at the world premiere by Tiler Peck and Tyler Angle who reprise the dance for the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival.

INTERMISSION

The Leaves Are Fading Pas de Deux Music: Cypresses for string quartet, together with other chamber music for strings by Anton Dvorak Choreography: Anthony Tudor Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: July 17, 1975, American Ballet Theatre, New York State Theater, NY.

Stella Abrera Sascha Radetsky

Commissioned by the American Ballet Theatre, The Leaves Are Fading is a haunting meditation of youthful romance and time’s bittersweet passing, set to Dvorak’s ravishing score. This was one of Tudor’s last , and it remains one of the major works in the choreographer’s remarkable canon. It marked Tudor’s return to American Ballet Theatre after an absence of nearly 25 years. The creation of Leaves Are Fading followed a five-year period of relative choreographic silence during which he made no major ballets, but did choreograph several short pieces for his students at the Julliard School.

Bright Stream Pas de Deux Music: Dmitri Shostakovich Choreography: Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: 2003, ; 2011, American Ballet Theatre, NY.

Alina Cojocaru Johan Kobborg

Zany and laugh-out-loud funny, The Bright Stream celebrates the illusory nature of love in all of its baffling, maddening detail with mistaken identities, hilarious deceptions and happy resolutions. During a harvest festival on a collective farm in the Russian steppes, a Moscow dance troupe arrives to entertain the workers, upsetting the applecart to humorous effect. Dmitri Shostakovich’s vivid folk music reveals the soul of his actor-dancers with a zest for deft characterization in movement.

Stars & Stripes Pas de Deux Music: Liberty Bell and El Capitan by John Philip Sousa Adapted and orchestrated by Hershey Kay. Choreography: George Balanchine, ©George Balanchine Trust Lighting: Mark Stanley Premiere: January 17, 1958, New York City Ballet, City Center of Music and Drama, NY.

Ashley Bouder Daniil Simkin

For all its exuberant patriotic touches, Stars and Stripes contains as much pure dancing as many full-length classical ballets. The work is divided into five “campaigns,” each of which uses different Sousa themes. The fourth campaign is a pas de deux, and coda set to the Liberty Bell and El Capitan marches.

When asked why he chose to choreograph a ballet to Sousa’s marches, Balanchine replied: “Because I like his music.” Stars and Stripes has been performed for many memorable occasions, including Nelson Rockefeller’s inauguration as governor of New York, tributes for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, and the opening ceremonies for the New York State Theater at .

2012 DANCE FESTIVAL: Program Notes By Joseph Carman

At the heart of many great ballets lies a pas de deux. This year’s Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival program, curated by global choreographer/dancer/director Benjamin Millepied, could be subtitled “the art of the pas de deux.” Apart from one solo, all the selections on the program are duets of a specific nature; all have touched, moved or wowed audiences. And among the works are pieces by four of the ballet world’s most sought-after living choreographers: Benjamin Millepied, Alexei Ratmansky, Twyla Tharp and Christopher Wheeldon. This year’s impressive cast includes New York City Ballet principal dancers Maria Kowroski, Ashley Bouder, Tiler Peck and Tyler Angle; American Ballet Theatre dancers Daniil Simkin, Stella Abrera and Sascha Radetsky; Royal Ballet principals Johan Kobborg and Alina Cojocaru; and Twyla Tharp dancer Martin Harvey. The pas de deux from After the Rain has become a 21st century classic and one of the pieces most requested by international ballet companies. Premiered in 2005, it was choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon for and of New York City Ballet. “What came through was this love letter, this poem to both of them as artists,” said Wheeldon. The duet runs 11 minutes and is performed to composer Arvo Pärt’s spare, mesmerizing score, Spiegel im Spiegel. Set in 6/4 time, with the piano playing triads that sound like falling raindrops and the violin playing slow scales that rise and fall, the ballet has the gentle lilt of a lullaby. The serenity of the score is wholly matched by the choreography, evoking feelings of tenderness, devotion, loss and melancholy. Each slow, measured movement of the pas de deux is danced seamlessly. If the medium of ballet possesses the equivalent to a sonnet, the pas de deux from After the Rain is just that. The Junk pas de deux, excerpted from the ballet Known by Heart, embodies the essence of Twyla Tharp’s style—seriously crafted and irreverently delivered. In this duet, Tharp twists the formal structure of the classical pas de deux (adagio, two solos and a coda) into a postmodern match-up between partners that runs alternately witty, sly, comic and sexy. Tharp set the piece to the music of Donald Knaack, an American composer and percussionist who makes music on 100% recycled materials (hence the whimsical bang-on-a-can antics). Typically, Tharp combines vocabulary with pedestrian movements—slides, kicks, squiggles, lunges, flexed feet and slithers. Les Bourgeois, Belgian choreographer Ben Van Cauwenbergh’s tongue-in-cheek solo that blends balletic pyrotechnics with rakish swagger, lends European flair to the program. Les Bourgeois is danced to the famous Flemish chanteur Jacques Brel’s song of the same title. Combining dancing and acting in a tour de force, Les Bourgeois has become a familiar showcase for virtuosic male dancers. In the waltz-timed drinking song, Brel comments jokingly about the follies of the middle class. Although the dancer performs alone, the acknowledged partner is the audience, to whom he delivers his tart take on life. In 1975, choreographed The Leaves are Fading, set to several string quartets by Czech composer Antonin Dvorák, for his last muse, . Conjuring dimmed memories

of a lost youth, this bittersweet pas de deux, excerpted from the ballet, possesses a wind-swept quality. Tudor, known for his dramatic works, said this about The Leaves are Fading: “It’s a piece without any story at all...if I see a human body on the stage, I don’t see it as an abstraction. I see it as a body. So I would not call this new work of mine ‘abstract’. Rather, I would call it empty.” In what Tudor would call “emptiness” exists a world of fragmented recollections, wistful feelings and deep emotional recall. Ultimately one is left with breathtaking dance phrases, delivered through the language of ballet. Internationally renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky choreographed The Bright Stream, set to a vividly Russian score by Dmitri Shostakovich, for the Bolshoi Ballet in 2003. Considered one of the most successful full-length story ballets of this century, it has since been danced by both American Ballet Theatre and Britain’s Royal Ballet. Depicting the zany antics during a harvest festival on a Soviet collective farm, the ballet offers a salty satirization of Communist life with wonderfully drawn characters—both peasants and artists. Ratmansky’s ability to meld folk movement with classical ballet and to organically extract drama from music has made his choreographic finesse uniquely lauded. When asked why he choreographed Stars and Stripes in 1958 to John Phillip Sousa’s rousing marches (not your typical ballet accompaniment), George Balanchine replied simply, “Because I like his music.” During the 1950s the United States State Department sent Stars and Stripes on overseas tours with New York City Ballet as a positive affirmation of the American spirit. The bravura pas de deux from the ballet represents the culmination of the work’s rousing, patriotic message (coupled with a hearty sense of humor). The red-blooded dancing, set to popular Sousa pieces, such as “Liberty Bell” and “El Capitan,” gives the leading couple a chance to display all the assets of America’s ballet style—straightforward attack, energy, speed and joyful optimism. Composer Hershey Kay adapted and orchestrated Sousa’s marches for the ballet. Ultimately Stars and Stripes was Balanchine‘s valentine to his adoptive country. Benjamin Millepied’s prolific collaborative partnership with composer Nico Muhly has produced four ballets, the latest being Two Hearts, premiered by New York City Ballet last May. Though the choreography doesn’t tell a literal narrative, the music takes its cue from a Scottish song, “Lord Thomas and Fair Ellender.” “I’m drawn to folk music where there is really a sharp contrast between the beauty of the melody and the grimness of the lyrics,” said Muhly in an interview with . The lyrics, he said, speak of “a marriage gone wrong; everyone ends up dying.” The richly drawn adagio pas de deux from Two Hearts, placed at the end of the ballet, elicits a sense of deep romance thwarted by tragedy. “The phrase structure of the song, the way the refrain works, is shared by all the sections (of the ballet),” said Muhly. “I wanted all the music to feel like folk music in the sense that it feels familiar. You need to access a kind of melancholy for that.” The Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival’s program clearly demonstrates the many diverse ways that two dancers can relate on stage: loving, joking, remembering, pondering, and, of course, dancing. These carefully chosen selections reveal how truly reflective dance is of life itself.
