Joffrey Triumphs With ‘La Bayadere’

October 18, 2013 by 4dancers

Even when choosing a large-scale ballet Joffrey is unique–and “La Bayadere” is certainly a bold choice. The ballet was first performed in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg, and it was choreographed by Marius Petipa. This version has been updated by Houston Ballet’s marvelous Stanton Welch, and it is easy to see why he is one of the most sought after choreographers of our generation. He has the ability to create such interesting movement that one wishes they had two sets of eyes to see it all–especially when the stage is filled with dancers.

Although the three-act plot seems convoluted, at the center of it all it’s really just a tragic love triangle between Nikiya (the temple dancer, Victoria Jaiani), Solor (the warrior prince, Dylan Gutierrez) and Gamzatti (the Rajah’s daughter, April Daly). The first act is set in India and it traces the forbidden love story of Nikiya and Solor–and the plot to bring about her death, crafted by Gamzatti and her servant Ajah.

Jaiani is achingly supple–offering her submission to Solor with tender, fluttering arms and yielding bends of the torso. Gutierrez, although an able partner, was at his best when soaring and bounding across the stage with passionate abandon.

Welch’s choreography is both brilliant and difficult with demanding lifts, whiplash turns and unexpected combinations. In the first act, the dance for the four men was especially impressive, but the group dancing was also a joy to watch. Instead of tutus, tights and tiaras there are dazzling bras and colorful, flowing fabrics everywhere. The bright, jeweled costumes and lush scenery by Peter Farmer add quite a bit to the visual appeal of this ballet and Scott Speck and the Chicago Philharmonic added depth and drama with their mastery of the musical score by Minkus.

Fabrice Calmels is the perfect choice for the High Brahmin–radiating authority and confidence and dominating the stage with his presence. Also compelling were the musical John Mark Giragosian as Agni the Fire God and Erica Lynette Edwards as the maniacal Ajah.

The second act is set at the palace gardens as the wedding preparations for Solor and the princess Gamzatti take place. Daly was spectacular as she whipped off a triumphant series of fouettés and Jaiani was limp and heartbroken as she danced before the couple prior to her death.

The beginning of the third act is in stark contrast to the color and vibrant atmosphere of the other two–especially in the “Kingdom of the Shades” where women in all white tutus–ghostly images–dance in unison. One by one these figures come down a long ramp in arabesque, balancing, bending back, balancing again. A trance-like scene, this is where Joffrey was at its most impressive. With only a slight sway or quiver here and there, the company triumphed over one of the more difficult corps de ballet scenes in classical ballet. They moved as one.

The three “shade solos” were all danced with verve. Cara Marie Gary bounced fluently, Amber Neumann floated lightly and Amanda Assucena’s solid balance and incredible extension appeared effortless.

Once Solor returns to reality the end of this ballet becomes a whirlwind–exciting and dramatic, if somewhat frenzied after the otherworldly scene before it.

La Bayadere runs through October 27th at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago.

8 Diet Tips To Prep For Performance

June 14, 2013 by 4dancers

You have put in months of rehearsals, and now performance week is upon you. For many dancers, this translates to extra rehearsal hours with performance-quality run-thrus to build stamina, and long days at the theatre for spacing, lighting, and dress rehearsals. These physical demands can take their toll on the dancer’s body and may be coupled with feelings of anticipation, excitement or anxiety, which can affect sleep patterns, appetite, mood, and energy levels. If keeping your energy up during performance season proves challenging, try these eight tips to help prevent fatigue from taking center stage.

  1. Hydration Image by photostock / FreeDigitalPhotos.net
    Hydration Image by photostock / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

    Stay hydrated. Even mild dehydration can impair dance performance, slow reaction times, and reduce concentration (ever blank out on stage?). As outside temperatures rise and humidity increases, the need to replace fluids becomes ever more important. And if you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Aim to consume water regularly throughout the day to prevent thirst. If you dislike water, and have difficulty drinking enough throughout the day, try adding a cut lemon or lime to your water bottle.

  1. Go easy on the sports drinks. Sports drinks were originally designed to replace the carbohydrates and electrolytes during endurance events (like running a marathon) or long, strenuous activities like football or soccer. Numerous products are available in a variety of formulations for just about every type of activity, but for dancers watching their weight, sports drinks can add unwanted and unnecessary calories and sugars to the dancer’s daily intake. (Not to mention the artificial colors and flavors added to many sports drinks.) Water is sufficient for most dancers, but if you are a heavy sweater or if your classes and rehearsals keep you constantly moving and sweating for more than 3 consecutive hours, you might need a sports drink to provide fuel and to help replace electrolytes. Diluting a sports drink or 100% fruit juice with water (3 parts water to 1 part sports drink or juice) is another good strategy to make water more palatable without adding a lot of extra calories.
  1. Don’t diet. As the performance nears, some dancers develop anxiety about how they will look in their costumes, or whether their partner will complain that they are difficult to lift. This prompts some dancers to crash diet in the weeks prior to a performance. Dancers’ concerns about weight and body image are valid and can impact confidence, performance and well-being, but anxiety over weight and body image should be addressed earlier in the season. The weeks leading up to a performance are not the time to focus on weight loss. Instead, focus on providing your body with the fuel and nutrients you need to continue to perform at your best.

    Fuel up. Most concert dance is anaerobic, meaning it consists of short periods of strenuous activity. To fuel anaerobic activities, the body relies on blood sugar and on stores of carbohydrates in the liver and the muscles. The primary cause of fatigue during performance is depletion of carbohydrates in the blood and the muscles. Ensure that your body has optimal stores of carbohydrates available for the performance by eating meals consisting of foods high in complex carbohydrates in the days leading up to your performances. Complex carbohydrates come from foods like pasta, whole grain breads and fruit, and are easily digested providing a steady supply of carbohydrates for your body to use. Avoid simple sugars like candy and soda pop, which will cause your blood sugar to spike and then crash leaving you feeling wiped out.

  1. Continue fueling on performance day. Stress, anxiety and anticipation on performance day may minimize appetite or even lead to gastrointestinal upset, but consuming carbohydrates in the hours leading up to the performance will help prevent the fatigue, shakiness, and lightheadedness associated with low blood sugar. To avoid feeling full and weighed-down, eat mini-meals 4 hours, 2 hours and 30 minutes before the performance. Meals should diminish in size as you get closer to curtain time and should consist primarily of complex carbohydrates. Avoid fried or fatty foods during this time as these can greatly slow digestion time and increase gastrointestinal discomfort. If consuming solid foods proves difficult, try a liquid meal replacement or a smoothie. Liquids pass through the digestive tract faster than solid foods and also help keep you hydrated.
  1. Stick with what you know. Avoid trying exotic cuisines or new food products or supplement formulations during performance week. It’s better to stick with the foods you know your body can handle. If you want to experiment with a new eating plan or supplements, test them out during rehearsals in the weeks prior to the performance, so you know how your body will react.
  1. Lay off the gas. Feeling gassy and bloated is uncomfortable under any circumstances, but trying to contract or jeté when suffering from excessive gas can be excruciatingly painful and even embarrassing. Beans are notorious for causing gas, and certain vegetables, including cabbage, cucumber and cauliflower can also contribute to gas in some people. If you are not accustomed to eating high fiber foods, such as dried fruits and brown rice, these foods can also be problematic. But reactions to these foods are highly variable between individuals. Be sure to limit gas-forming foods during the 24 hours leading up to your performance. Remember to eat slowly; the faster you eat the more likely you are to swallow air can cause gas and belching. Carbonated beverages and drinking through a straw will also increase the amount of air that is trapped in your digestive system.
  1. Rest and recuperate. Your body does most of its healing at night while you are sleeping, so make sure you are getting plenty of sleep before each performance. Both carbohydrates and proteins are needed to ensure healing of the muscle tissue and replacement of carbohydrates in the muscles. Muscles will take in nutrients best during the first 30 minutes after your finish dancing. Aim to consume a meal within this 30-minute window to help your muscles recover for the next performance. Avoid caffeine during the 6 hours before bedtime to promote more restful sleep.

The DREAM Celebration

As a native of Maryland and a dancer since the age of three, I am certainly not a newbie when it comes to going to seeing dance performances in the area—especially Washington D.C. However, D.C. is not always the first city to be regarded as a hub for dance in the U.S. While I beg to differ, I can see how high profile cities such as New York or Los Angeles steal the dancing spotlight. With that said, one performance in early May changed mine, and I’m sure many other D.C. dance viewers’ opinions on what D.C. can bring to the table for the dancing world.

This incredible show was The DREAM Celebration, held in the Historic Lincoln Theatre on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, 2013.  Presented by CityDance, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and co-produced by Rasta Thomas, the program delivered sought after, high quality professional talents from around the nation.  Above all, the show was a benefit for CityDance’s DREAM program, which provides free after-school programming to hundreds of D.C. elementary school students.  A 2013 Finalist for the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, the CityDance DREAM program has been established for eight years and is expanding to the critical middle and high school years to provide more serious training and performance opportunities for students interested in continuing their dance education. CityDance even took the DREAM students on a field trip to see the Saturday night show and invited them on stage to perform as the finale.

Their performance came after such artists and companies as Rasta Thomas (Bad Boys of Dance), tap sensation Dorrance Dance (2013 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award Winner), Clifton Brown (Lar Lubovitch) and Michaela DePrince (Dance Theatre of Harlem). The list most certainly does not end there as the Lombard Twins, Cartier Williams and Adrienne Canterna all performed, as well as dancers from American Ballet Theatre, Lar Lubovitch, the Orlando Ballet, Washington Ballet, North Carolina Dance Theatre, KGP and Ballet X. In addition, CityDance again incorporated its own students into the show through two performances from CityDance Conservatory students. The first, Youth America Grand Prix 2012 Philadelphia Semi-Finals Junior Grand Prix Winner, Larisa Nugent, wowed the audience with Aurora Variation from Sleeping Beauty. Next, CityDance Conservatory Students turned up the energy with Carnaval, choreographed by emerging D.C. artist and CityDance Faculty, Robert J. Priore (Company E).

In a recent Huffington Post article by Caroline Gerdes, CityDance Executive Director Alexe Nowakowski hits the nail on the head when she states, “I don’t know of any other events in recent history where we had this many dance artists of this caliber in Washington, D.C. this accessible and affordable.” While I did of course feel blown away by the DREAM Celebration, my favorite moments were when non-dance audience members expressed the same sentiments. The lobby was abuzz after the show with many people in awe of the talented dancers and performers and as far as I could hear, not a bad comment was said.

Bravo to CityDance for conceptualizing this performance as well as to the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and Rasta Thomas for their support. If you are in the D.C. area anytime this year, look out for an anticipated 2013-2014 performance season through a partnership between CityDance OnStage and Washington Performing Arts Society. Companies such as Dance Theatre of Harlem, Koresh Dance Company and Momix are scheduled to perform!

Arts Festivals Abound in Chicago and Beyond….where to go see GOOD DANCE!

June 3, 2013 by 4dancers

REDance2
RE|Dance

Ok, so this is partially shameless self-promotion and I realize that; but I like to consider myself an opportunist when it comes to audience development!  And so this entry focuses on what we all love about summer in the city:  Festivals!  But I’m not talking about the ones with funnel cakes, sundress sales and henna tattoos; I’m talking about the ones where you can get your (spring) and summer’s worth of art appreciation.  Here are a few of my favorites, in Chicago and beyond.

A lot of festivals devoted to dance happen in the warmer months.  Many cities across the country host these larger choreographic showcases to give emerging artists and companies an opportunity to present their work (sometimes in smaller time slots and sometimes within a whole evening).  It’s an inexpensive way to build one’s touring resume while also networking with other working artists around the country.  Wave Rising Series and DUMBO Dance Festival are two very unique festivals that happen in Brooklyn in the autumn months.  Each festival, hosted by Young Soon Kim Dance Company, includes artists from across the country and offers a large variety of adjudicated dances in programs that run over several weeks.  The lovely John Ryan Theater where they present much of the work was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and this festival threatens being shut down for good.  For information on this East Coast Festival or how you can help save it, go to http://www.gofundme.com/SaveourSpace.

As spring approaches, dance festivals pick up steam and if you’re in the Midwest you should check out great annual festivals such as RAD Fest http://www.midwestradfest.org? (in Kalamazoo, MI) and Spring to Dance http://www.dancestlouis.org/1213_s2d.html  (in St. Louis, MO).  RAD is an acronym for Regional Alternative Dance Festival and the description fits the name perfectly.  One can find a reconstructed Erick Hawkins work on the same bill as Bob Eisen’s experimental improvisations but everyone’s idea of “alternative” is honored and that makes for an interesting evening.  Spring to Dance, is in it’s 6th season of producing dance festivals in St. Louis and continues to offer a large mix of the Midwest’s bigger budget dance companies.  THODOS Dance Chicago shares the bill with Alvin Ailey from the east and Casebolt and Smith from the west.  Drive to either of these festivals from Chicago and see a bit of what’s happening across the country.

Fringe Festivals are another great place to see not only some lovely theater companies but a growing group of dance companies that are working that circuit.  Chicago now has it’s very own Fringe Festival that operates out of the Pilsen neighborhood http://www.chicagofringe.org/ and another Midwest favorite is the Cincinnati Fringe http://www.cincyfringe.com/.  However, if you want to get a Fringe experience that is all encompassing than Minneapolis is the city to visit in August.  It’s America’s largest Fringe Festival and it’s awesome http://www.fringefestival.org/.

So now you’re excited about this Festival circuit and you can’t wait to participate in an event that can get you reasonable ticket prices for dance, theater, puppetry, music and so much more right?  Luckily, Chicago’s newest arts festival is right around the corner.  This year marks the inaugural Pivot Multi Arts Festival that is happening throughout the Edgewater neighborhood right here in Chicago.  Festival creators Julieanne Ehre and Katy Collins are showing people in their community the many ways that art impacts our lives.  With headline acts such as Mucca Pazza, Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak and the Neo-Futurists you get a taste of the world’s coolest marching band, innovative modern dance and some of the best comedy improv sketches you will ever see.  Pivot Arts as an organization hopes to create a, “vibrant community where unique collaborations between artists, businesses and organizations leads to the support and creation of innovative performances.”  Who doesn’t like the sound of that?

And so if you’re wondering where the shameless plugging comes in, it’s here.  Yes.  I told you about fabulous festivals that I have had the pleasure of performing in or seeing.  And yes; Pivot Multi Arts Festival will kick off their opening weekend with another headlining dance company that has been imprinting itself in all ways possible on the Chicago dance community.  So please join RE|Dance Group on Thursday and Friday, June 6 & 7 at the beautiful Senn Auditorium at 8PM as we get this festival started in the spirit that it was created in!  RE|Dance Group will be restaging their 2010 work, “The Lonely Visitors,” a dance work that produces a series of images that collide together to reveal both the whimsical and perfidious nature of the heart. The collection of 30 short episodes ponders the depths and desires that love holds over us.  We are happy to be remounting one of our first works as a company and are honored that Pivot Arts has asked us to share this with their audiences!

So as you start putting your summer to do list together consider adding “Innovative multi arts festival” to the list and then come out and spend some time seeing all the talent coming out of Edgewater!  Support your community, your local artists and your city by investing in our performance festivals so that opportunities continue to emerge for artists and audiences alike in the performing arts!  Bring your families, friends and neighbors as we continue to work towards bringing thoughtful art to your communities!

Andrew DeVries At The National Museum Of Dance

April 18, 2013 by 4dancers

Capturing the spirit of dance can be a challenge in any art form, but sculpture is a medium where that is that particularly difficult. To convey a sense of movement while staying true to form in three dimensions is something few artists can do–much less master.

But there are always exceptions.

Andrew DeVries is one such artist, and he was selected by the National Museum of Dance to display some of his work with dancers. We asked Assistant Director Sarah Hall Weaver to share more information about this artist and his work, which we are pleased to share with you here…

What made you select Andrew’s work for the exhibit “Homage to Dance”?

I had been looking for a 3d exhibit for a while actually when Andrew and his wonderful wife, Patricia, approached us. Our museum has a 2d fine art show and a variety of other exhibitions each year but we had yet to welcome sculpture. Representing dance without being able to have live dancers on hand can sometimes be a challenge. We are constantly looking for new and diverse ways to relay the world of dance to our guests. On top of looking for a sculpture exhibit, we were also looking for the RIGHT sculpture exhibit and it came down to the fact that Andrew’s work displayed the level of advanced dance understanding that I was looking for.

Can you talk a bit about what his work is like?

Andrew’s work is an outstanding combination of master bronze work and individual aesthetic. What really speaks to me is that even though these are in fact stagnant, heavy objects, they still imply very clear movement. You instinctively understand where that dancer is coming from and where they are going. The muscles in each body are sculpted with that advanced understanding I mentioned earlier – Andrew knows how the body works, how muscles, bones, all the body systems work together to allow dance movement; and even if the viewer doesn’t arrive with their own understanding, they can learn something from these pieces. His pastels are equally revealing of his dance models. The gestures and the expressions indicate very clear emotions and physical states yet these are not overworked images. They have a light, airy quality that really complements the intensity of the bronzes.

How many pieces will be on display at the museum and how were they chosen?

There are over forty bronzes on display, some of which [if spring ever really comes around!] will be displayed outside in our entrance gardens. There are also twenty pastels on display. We approach each exhibit as its own experience and in this particular case I left it up to Andrew to select the works and layout. He and Patricia are quite the team and have got the exhibition business down to…well…an art.

Is there a piece you are particularly drawn to?

This is a tough question, I have a lot of favorites…If I had to pick one I would say Apollo. It is the first sculpture that greets you as you walk into the gallery and something about it keeps you right there for a while. I’ve watched several of our guests fall victim to it, they linger there much longer than I would normally credit a museum-goer per piece of artwork. Like I said, there are forty-one sculptures and twenty pastels – that’s a lot, but even with the excitement of seeing everything in this gallery, let alone the entire museum, this piece really seems to affect people. Myself included.

How long will his work be on display at the museum?

“Homage to Dance” will be on display through November 24th, 2013. Museum hours and admission can be found at www.dancemuseum.org.  Andrew’s studio and gallery can also be visited in Massachusetts and information can be found at his website.

We are having an opening reception for this show on June 28th which will be a wonderful opportunity for guests to view the work for free, and to also meet Andrew in person!
