14 PROGRAM SUNDAY, AGAIN Choreography: Jo Strømgren Assistant to the Choreographer: Alexandra Damiani Lighting Design: Jim French and Jo Strømgren Costume Design: Junghyun Georgia Lee Music: “Jesu, meine Freude,” Motet No. 3 in E minor, BWV 225-230 by Johann Sebastian Bach, Maitrise Des Petits Chanteurs de Versailles, Concert Saint Julien, Direction Jean-François Fremont

Cast Full Company Duets: Jason Kittelberger/Acacia Schachte Jubal Battisti/Harumi Terayama Golan Yosef/Ebony Williams Gwynenn Taylor Jones/Ana-Maria Lucaciu Nickemil Concepcion/Navarra Novy-Williams Program notes: “‘Sunday, Again’ is first of all a piece that tries to reflect the diversity in Johann Sebastian Bach’s music. Abstract movement patterns are woven together in fugal ways, not unlike the baroque way of assembling melodic phrases and ornamentations. Secondly, and on an asso- ciative level, it thematically treats the domestic jungle of luxury problems and gender frictions. As the title suggests, there is always the irritating and inevitable Sunday which forces couples to test their coexistence abilities. Leisure time is not good for certain types of relationships.” –Jo Strømgren Jo Strømgren Jo Strømgren was born in 1970 and spent most of his early years skiing and playing football. In the eighties, American dance movies intoxicated him with dreams of dancing jazz ballet but he soon advanced to classical ballet and contemporary dance. At the age of 20 he was invited to to fill up some empty student space at the National College of Ballet and Dance in Oslo. After four years of study (three years with Classical Ballet and one year with Choreography) he was engaged by Carte Blance Dance Company in Bergen as a dancer and choreographer. In his three years with the company he gained a professional base for his later work, mixing his own dances with the varied repertory of Mats Ek, Rui Horta, Jorma Uotinen, Jens Östberg and Itzik Galili. After a major injury to his right knee, Jo became a full-time freelance choreographer. He has since injured his left knee in a football match and is now stiff in both legs. Artistic recogni- tion came suddenly with the self-financed and hysterically frantic ”Schizo Stories,” a 75-minute one-man show about nevrosis where his distinct body language and mix of absurd humor versus dark psychology stood out clearly.

Program notes: “I became fascinated with pushing the dancers to their limits, in bursts of speed and tempo. It’s when the dancers are pushed that they release themselves from the cerebral and move toward the purely physical qualities of dance. In “UNIT IN REACTION” I am playing with geometric patterns that split, mutate and are in flux. There is a geometric architecture to this piece that is alive. I’m exploring our place in a world of mass communication and sensory overload. Think of how many communication messages and images we are bombarded with every minute. I think of the movement in this work like pixels on a video screen—moving, changing and reforming. Maybe the speed of all this ‘communication’ can become artful?” –Jacopo Godani 15 Jacopo Godani Italian-born, dancer-choreographer Jacopo Godani began studying classical ballet and modern dance techniques in 1984 at the Centro Studi Danza of La Spezia under the direction of Loredana Rovagna. He also pursued studies in the visual arts at the Fine Arts High School of Carrara. In 1986, Godani was accepted to further his studies at Maurice Bejart’s international dance centre, Mudra, in Bruxelles, Belgium. Jacopo Godani made his professional debut in 1988 performing with several Paris-based contemporary dance companies. As a dancer, Godani has worked with a range of international choreographers. In 1990, Godani formed his own Bruxelles-based company and began his choreographic career. His work in Bruxelles was produced by the theatre Atelier Saint’Anne and was supported by the arts festival Bruxelles Centra(a)l and the Plateau theatre. From 1991 to 2000, Godani was a leading soloist with William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt and has collaborated with Forsythe on the choreographic creation of many of Ballett Frank- furt’s most representative pieces. Godani developed his career as a choreographer creating original works for a vast range of international companies.

CEDAR LAKE CONTEMPORARY BALLET Founded in 2003 by Nancy Laurie, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet has distinguished itself through both its exceptionally talented corps of fifteen dancers and its concurrent empha- sis on acquiring and commissioning new works by the world’s most sought-after emerging choreographers. Under the Artistic Direction of Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Cedar Lake offers a wide- ranging spectrum of both American and international repertory, including works by Alexander Ekman, Hofesh Shechter, Crystal Pite, Jacopo Godani, Stijn Celis, Angelin Preljocaj, Ohad Naha- rin, Didy Veldman, Jo Strømgren, Luca Veggetti and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Through their daring, athletic movement and integration of ballet into contemporary and popular forms, the dancers of Cedar Lake take audiences on a choreographic journey that explores the infinite possibilities of movement and multimedia.

23 Program Notes The sound of the Gion Shôja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; The color of the sâla flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. The proud do not endure; they are like a dream on a spring Night. The mighty fall at last; they are as dust before the wind. –from the opening of The Tale of the Heike (translated by Helen Craig McCullough)

Yasuko Yokoshi’s art-making explores the complex interconnectedness of culture and history that frames our perspective of contemporary life. Her inspiration for Tyler Tyler comes from The Tale of the Heike, a classic 12th-century Japanese epic of warring clans that docu- ments the intense desire for domination and the inevitable fall from power. The central theme of the stories—the Buddhist law of impermanence—has special resonance for Yokoshi; born and raised in Hiroshima, she was often reminded as a child of the ephemeral nature of human life. These stories continue to resonate in our own times as ambition and pride continue to spawn war and greed. As a contemporary dance artist, Yokoshi is also driven by the question of how much culture within an art form is transferable, particularly in a fluid, mobile world where the merging of cultures is more prevalent than ever. At the heart of Tyler Tyler’s choreographic process is Yoko- shi’s partnership with Ms. Seyama, who has given her several pieces of classic repertory for the project, including some inspired by The Tale of the Heike. Following Kabuki tradition, as Ms. Seyama teaches the repertory to Yokoshi and the Japanese performers, and as Yokoshi teaches it to the U.S. dancers, subtle shifts are made to suit each performer. With both Japanese and U.S. dancers, Yokoshi deconstructs and rearranges the classic repertory using postmodern techniques, and creates original choreography that references the traditional repertory. Observing how bodies trained in one rigorous form interpret the specific techniques, physical qualities and aesthetics of another, Yokoshi’s goal is not to have the performers exchange their respective forms, but to examine the nature of cultural identity by experimenting with cultural form.

2333 Hugh Masekela Biography Hugh Ramopolo Masekela was born on April 4, 1939, in Witbank, South Africa. He began singing and playing piano as a child. But at age 14, after seeing the film, YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN, where Kirk Douglas portrays American Jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke, he took up trumpet, given to the young Hugh by Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, the anti-apartheid chaplain at St. Peters Secondary School. Masekela had been greatly moved by the music he heard on the 78 RPM gramophone records of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Chick Webb, Ella Fitzgerald, Sy Oliver, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Sarah Vaughan, Louis Jordan, the Ink Spots, the Mills Brothers, Billie Holiday, and Charlie Christian. In his teens, he fell in love with Dizzy Gillespie, George Shearing, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Kenny Dorham, Oscar Peterson, Bud Shank, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Stan Getz, Jackie & Roy Kral, June Christy, Shorty Rogers, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Bud Powell, and Mahalia Jackson. After Huddleston asked the leader of the then Johannesburg “Native“ Municipal Brass Band, Uncle Sauda, to teach Hugh the rudiments of trumpet playing, the young boy quickly proceed- ed to master the instrument. Soon, some of Hugh’s music-loving schoolmates also became in- terested in playing instruments, leading to the formation of the Huddleston Jazz Band, South Africa’s very first youth orchestra. Hugh went on to play in other dance bands led by the greats Zakes Nkosi, Ntemi Piliso, Elijah Nkwanyana and Kippie Moeketsi. By 1956, Hugh joined Alfred Herbert’s African Jazz Revue. Following a Manhattan Brothers tour of the country in 1958, Masekela wound up in the orchestra for the KING KONG musical written by Todd Matshikiza. KING KONG set South Africa’s first record—breaking blockbuster theatrical success, touring the country for a sold-out year with Miriam Makeba and the Manhattan Brothers’ Nathan Mdledle in the lead. The musical later went to London’s West-End for two years. At the end of 1959, Dollar Brand (later known as Abdullah Ibrahim), Kippie, Jonas, Makhaya Ntshoko, Johnny Gertze, and Hugh formed the Jazz Epistles, the first African jazz group to record an LP and perform to record-breaking audiences in Johannesburg and Cape Town through late 1959 to early 1960. Following the March 21, 1960, Sharpeville Massacre - where 69 peacefully protesting Afri- cans were mercilessly mowed down and the government banned gatherings of ten or more people—and the increased brutality of the Apartheid state, Hugh finally left the country. Hugh was helped by Trevor Huddleston and international friends like Yehudi Menuhin and John Dank- worth, who got him admitted into London’s Guildhall School of music. Miriam Makeba, who was already enjoying major success in the United States, along with Harry Belafonte, Dizzy Gillespie and John Mehegan later helped Hugh obtain admission to the Manhattan School of Music in New York. It was during this time that Hugh had the opportunity to meet Louis Armstrong, who a few years earlier had sent the Huddleston Jazz Band a trumpet after the chaplain told the trumpet king about the band he had helped start back in South Africa. Masekela began recording extensively with Miriam Makeba and can be heard adding his trumpet, singing and arranging talents to some of the singer’s very best records. By 1963, the trumpeter had recorded his first solo album, TRUMPET AFRICAINE, and the following year, Make- ba and Masekela were wed. The trumpeter’s breakthrough record was his engaging 1965 live performance, THE AMERI- CANIZATION OF OOGA BOOGA, which was produced by the late Tom Wilson, who had also produced Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkle’s debut successes. Masekela and Makeba divorced in 1966 and the trumpeter soon relocated to Los Angeles. In no time at all, the trumpeter began to take charge of his own career. He was attracting a sizable

By 1970, Masekela and Levine formed Chisa Records, a Motown subsidiary, which featured the recordings of Masekela as well as The Crusaders (it was Hugh who suggested they drop “Jazz” from their name), Letta Mbulu and Monk Montgomery. There were about seven releases in the Chisa series, including Hugh’s own RECONSTRUCTION (1970) and HUGH MASEKELA AND THE UNION OF SOUTH AF- RICA (1971), before the label folded. Levine and Masekela moved their Chisa operation to Blue Thumb Records (1972-74), where Masekela began to seriously dig back into his African jazz heritage. Masekela moved to Guinea (where, at the time, Miriam Makeba was living), then Liberia and then on to Ghana shortly after recording (in London) the his- torical HOME IS WHERE THE MUSIC IS with the great African reed player, Dudu Pukwana. In 1973, while in Nigeria, Masekela met Fela Kuti, who inspired the trumpeter to explore the “afro-beat” music that Kuti and Camer- oonian sax player Manu DiBango had lifted to worldwide popularity. Masekela loved what he heard and teamed with the Ghana- ian band, Hedzoleh Soundz for a successful collaboration that lasted nearly five years. They first recorded an album that included the amazing “Languta” and, most success- fully again in 1974 to produce the record I AM NOT AFRAID, featuring some of Hugh’s most enduring compositions - “In the The Market Place,” “African Secret Society” and “Coal Train (Stimela),” numbers he still performs to enthu- siastic audiences today. By 1975, Hugh was lured back to “hit-making music” by the newly launched American label, Casablanca Records - which would later house some of the decade’s best disco mu-

35 In 1981, Hugh moved to Botswana, where he started the Botswana International School of Music with Dr. Khabi Mngoma. Several years later, Hugh had his record label, Britain’s Jive Re- cords, help him set up a mobile studio in Gaborone, where he recorded the great TECHNO- BUSH, which launched his first dance hit, “Don’t Go Lose It Baby.“ In 1985, shortly after recording WAITING FOR THE RAIN, Masekela had to leave with his band Kalahari for England after the South African Defense Force massacred his friend George Phahle and his wife Lindi Phahle along with 14 other people in the pretext of raiding “communist terrorist camps” manned by South African Anti-Apartheid activists. While in England, Hugh recorded one of his greatest works, TOMORROW (this writer’s introduction to Hugh Masekela and still his favorite Masekela record!), which featured Hugh’s next hit, “Bring Him Back Home” (a.k.a. “Mandela”). While there, Hugh also conceived, with play- wright and songwriter Mbongeni Ngema, the mbaqaga musical SARAFINA, which found great success on Broadway in 1988. After touring with Paul Simon’s GRACELAND—which included a number of prominent African musicians including Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba—Masekela finally was able to return home, following the unbanning of political par- ties and the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990.
