  • 2018 Alumni Performance 45Th Anniversary Show Program
    A Message from Josefa Villanueva-Reyes, Artistic Director and Founder: I welcome you with great joy and happiness to celebrate the Santa Clara Ballet’s 45th Anniversary of the Nutcracker Ballet. The Santa Clara Ballet continues the legacy left to us by our late Director and choreographer, Benjamin Reyes, by sharing this favorite family Christmas Ballet with our community, our student and professional dancers and our loyal supporters. The Company’s roots started right here in Santa Clara, and has continued despite the usual problems of obtaining funding and support. We can continue because of all of you who are present in our performances, and through your generous donations and volunteer work. The Company continues its work in spreading the awareness and the love of dance to warm families and contribute to the quality of life of the community. For this Sunday’s performance of our 45th Annual Nutcracker, the stage will be graced by our Alumni who serve as a testament to the success of the company’s influence to the community and the world beyond. Thank you for your presence today and please continue to join us on our journey. Josefa Reyes JOSEFA VILLANUEVA-REYES started her training in the Philippines with Roberta and Ricardo Cassell (a student of Vincenzo Celli). She was formerly a member of the San Francisco Ballet Company and the San Francisco Opera Ballet. Previous to that, she performed as a principal dancer with the San Francisco Ballet Celeste for four years. Her performing experience included multiple lead roles from the classical repertory. Villanueva-Reyes taught at the San Francisco Conservatory of Ballet and Theatre Arts as well as San Jose City College.

In Search of Adequate Protection for Choreographic Works: Legislative and Judicial Alternatives vs. The Custom of the Dance Community BARBARA A. SINGER* One of the improvements in the 1976 Copyright Act was the specific recognition of choreographicworks as copyrightable material. The Act's focus on the protection of economic rights, however, fails to address the primary interest of the dance community in the preservation of "moral rights" in a work. The author examines the unique concerns of choreographers, and concludes that it is customary, and not legislative or judicial, law that continues to provide the best protection of choreogra- phers' artistic interests.

    In Memoriam Harold Francis McKinney May 28, 1917 – November 7, 2006 The Talented Tenth “The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth: it is the problem of developing the best of this race that they may guide the mass away from the contamination of the worst, in their own and other races.” W.E.B. DuBois FOREWORD Generations “A term referring to an approximation between the age of parents and the time their children were born.” The issue is, what has ensued during the generational time span of 20-25 years and how prepared were and are parents to provide the necessary educational, emotional, spiritual, physical and economic assets required for the development of the oncoming generations? What have been the experiences, accomplishments and perhaps inabilities of the parent generation and how will this equation impact upon the newcomers entering the world? The constant quest for human development is hopefully not supplanted by neglect, per- sonal or societal and therefore the challenge for each generation; are they prepared for their “turn” at the wheel of anticipated progress? How does each generation cope with the accomplishments and deficiencies from the previ- ous generation, when the baton is passed to the next group competing in the relay race of human existence? Despite the challenge of societal imbalance to the generations, hope and effort remain the constant vision leading to improvement accompanied and reinforced by determination and possible occurrences of “good luck,” to assist the generations and their offspring, neigh- bors and other members of the human family, towards as high a societal level as possible, in order to preserve, protect and project the present and succeeding generations into posi- tions of leverage thereby enabling them to confront the vicissitudes of life, manmade or otherwise.
