One of the most creative forces working in dance, Wayne McGregor is the Resident Choreographer of The Royal Ballet and one of the most in-demand dance artists in the world. His acclaimed work Genus, inspired by Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, was created for Paris Opéra Ballet in 2007. The National Ballet of Canada is honoured to present the North American premiere of this exhilarating work. Tarantella Choreography: George Balanchine Staged by: Christopher Stowell Music: Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Grand Tarentelle for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 67 (ca. 1866) Reconstructed and Orchestrated by: Hershy Kay By arrangement with Boosey & Hawkes, Inc., publisher and copyright owner. Piano Soloist: Zhenya Yesmanovich Costume Design: Karinska World Premiere: New York City Ballet, New York City, USA, January 7, 1964 The National Ballet of Canada Premiere: Toronto, March 29, 2017 George Balanchine admired this music composed by Louis Moreau Gottschalk and choreographed this pas de deux for Patricia McBride and Edward Villella in 1964. The nimble quickness of Tarantella provides a virtuosic showcase. The profusion of steps and quick changes of direction that this explosive pas de deux requires typifies the ways in which Balanchine expanded the traditional vocabulary of classical dance. The performances of Tarantella, a Balanchine® Ballet, is presented by arrangement with The George Balanchine TrustSM and has been produced by arrangement with the Balanchine Style® and Balanchine Technique® Service standards established and provided by the Trust. 6 Self and Soul Choreography: Robert Binet Music: Winged Victory for the Sullen, We Played Some Open Chords and Requiem for the Static King Part 1 from the album Winged Victory for the Sullen © (2011) By arrangement with G.

Lighting Design: Jeff Logue Répétiteur: Mandy-Jayne Richardson World Premiere: The National Ballet of Canada, The Twelfth Competition for The Erik Bruhn Prize, Toronto, November 15, 2016 The creation of Self and Soul began with an attempt to translate excerpts from Noa Sadka’s book Talking Parts into movement. Sadka’s book is made up of short phrases or sentence fragments excerpted from her diary that depict moments that are at once mundane but also call our attention to vast, universal, emotional ideas. In exploring these ideas between two dancers we found an undefined love; one that is not necessarily romantic, familial, platonic or passionate, but one that permeates their every action. – Robert Binet The Concert (Or, The Perils of Everybody) A Charade in One Act Choreography: Jerome Robbins* Staged by: Jean-Pierre Frohlich Music: Frédéric Chopin, Orchestrated by Clare Grundman Piano Soloist: Andrei Streliaev Set Design: Saul Steinberg Costume Design: Irene Sharaff Lighting Design: Jennifer Tipton Répétiteur: Mandy-Jayne Richardson World Premiere: New York City Ballet, New York City, USA, March 6, 1956 The National Ballet of Canada Premiere: Toronto, June 14, 1984 The Concert is a gift from The Volunteer Committee, The National Ballet of Canada.

    Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra

    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.
