MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Thank you for joining us for Ballet Tucson’s 30th Pearl Anniversary season! It is my great pleasure to again serve this year as the President of the Board of Directors for Tucson’s only professional ballet company. Founding Artistic Director Mary Beth Cabana, Assistant Artistic Director Chieko Imada, the Artistic Staff, all the members of the Board and the dancers are looking forward to an exciting season of new and classic ballets. The last three years have seen Ballet Tucson grow stronger financially and operationally, thanks to the leadership of our esteemed Executive Director, James (Jed) Kee. This season brings yet another infusion of new talent, both on the stage and behind it. We are happy to announce the addition of our newest Board members: Andrew Carmichael, Maxine Goodman, Jessica Huber, and Hank Verbais. We are also delighted to welcome Jennifer Miller, who has joined the Company as our new Director of Administration and Development. We are deeply indebted to all who have dedicated their time and energy to making Ballet Tucson the success that it is today. Having just completed a strong fiscal year, we are excited for even greater opportunities going forward. We gratefully thank all of our past and current individual and corporate supporters, as we could not continue to provide the quality programming that Tucson audiences expect and deserve without them. Artistically, we have an exciting season befitting our 30th Anniversary. We begin with the much anticipated premieres of Jekyll and Hyde (a steampunk rendition!) and Carmina Burana, followed by our beloved classical production of The Nutcracker. Then it’s on to the Rhythms of the Americas in collaboration with the Tucson Desert Song Festival, and our annual favorite Dance and Dessert concerts. From innovation to classicism – indeed a Pearl of a Season! My warm regards, see you at the ballet! Tarik H. Sultan – President

HISTORY OF BALLET ARTS FOUNDATION (BALLET TUCSON) Ballet Arts Foundation (now Ballet Tucson) was established in June 1986. The main goal has always been to foster and develop both a professional and a children's performing ensemble, designed to meet the needs of young dancers in Southern Arizona with career aspirations. The two ensembles have provided a rich training ground for the serious student by offering interaction with professional dancers, teachers and choreographers. This in turn allows young dancers to view ballet as a career, while simultaneously instilling a love for the art, and providing a means for greater self-expression. Ballet Tucson's preview performance took place in April 1987 at Centennial Hall in Tucson, with more than 900 in attendance and received rave reviews. Arizona Daily Star critic Robert Cauthorn proclaimed, "Ballet is Back!". An even more successful follow-up performance took place in October 1987 with an audience of over 1200 and again to critical accolades. Over the years, the Ensemble has established itself as Tucson's resident professional ballet company by producing historic classics and innovative contemporary dance. The Children's Ensemble has appeared in numerous performances throughout Arizona and also in Mexico, Ukraine and France. Annual stagings of fully-produced ballets are regularly presented. The 1994-95 Season marked the debut of Tucson's own full-length holiday classic The Nutcracker. Five sold out performances were given leaving audiences cheering for more. Performances have also been given at the Border involving children from Arizona and Mexico. The "Ballet from Classroom to Stage Project" was inaugurated in the 1990-91 Season. It has toured Tucson Public Schools with the support of Tucson Pima Arts Council offering tens of thousands of children their first exposure to ballet at their own schools. The company has also participated in residencies, performances and workshops with Young Audiences, The Imagination Celebration, Arizona Opera Company, NEA's Dance on Tour, Ballet West, Milwaukee Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ballet Arizona and Philharmonia Orchestra of Tucson and the Tucson Desert Song Festival to date. Beginning in 2009, Ballet Tucson introduced an emerging education program in local Title 1 elementary schools. Students participating in "Put Your Best Foot Forward with Ballet Tucson" learn important life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence along with basic ballet technique and creative movement. Another important component of our outreach efforts is the Ticket Subsidy Program which provides over 1,500 free tickets each year to under-served youth, families and other populations from our community to attend live ballet performances.

Over the years, students and instructors have taken part in International Dance Exchange Programs with Ukraine, France, and Mexico. Participants stayed with host families and had the opportunity to take classes from European master teachers and perform abroad. Future exchanges are currently being explored. The annual Summer Dance Workshop has been held for 30 years in cooperation with the University of Arizona School of Dance. For four weeks each summer, students ranging in age from 5-18 participate in a 4-week intensive. Nationally and internationally recognized master teachers come to Tucson to work with students teaching classes and holding dance-related lectures. The workshop culminates in a performance at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre in late June. Ballet Tucson's 2004-2005 season marked the debut of a fully professional company. A dream of nearly two decades was finally realized when the company secured ten professional dancers for the season. Currently, 28 artists are on the Ballet Tucson roster. This long awaited addition fills the void within Tucson's fine arts community and makes Tucson one of only a handful of cities nationwide with a professional symphony, theatre, opera and ballet companies.

This year marks the company's 30th Pearl Anniversary season and 12th professional year, and promises to be the best yet. We are enormously grateful for the community and patron support over the years. You make it possible for us to provide the highest caliber ballet performances filled with beauty, passion and imagination. Thank you for recognizing that the arts touch and enrich all our lives.

Serenade:

Balanchine’s Ode to Women

E

ighty years ago (on March 1, 1935), the premiere of George Balanchine’s ballet Serenade, to music by Tchaikovsky, changed the history of American dance. A recent émigré from Russia (via France), Balanchine had been a choreographer for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes and Serenade reflected Balanchine’s desire to create a neo-classical style of dance, pure dance, not burdened with telling a story. The music, Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade for Strings,” was a personal favorite of the composer. Balanchine had a special affinity for Tchaikovsky. “In everything that I did to Tchaikovsky’s music,” he told an interviewer, “I sensed his help. It wasn’t real conversation, but when I was working and saw that something was coming of it, I felt that it was Tchaikovsky who had helped me.”

Serenade is the first original ballet Balanchine created in America and is one of the signature works of New York City Ballet’s repertory. The ballet is performed by 28 dancers in blue costumes in front of a blue background. The opening tableau is iconic, with 17 female dancers arranged in two adjoining diamonds, arms stretched with their right hand posed as if shielding the dancers from the sun. Balanchine worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography. When one student fell, he incorporated it. Another day, a student arrived late, and this too became part of the ballet. Author and former NYC Ballet dancer Toni Bentley stated that “In this single early work, remarkably, Balanchine made a dance that would become the Rosetta Stone for a new kind of dancer, the American classical dancer. He brought a kind of democracy into the hierarchical land of ballet classicism, lifting it from its dusty 19th-century splendor, and created, simultaneously, an aristocracy for American dancers who had none.” Balanchine revised the ballet a number of times and in its present form there are four movements: “Sonatina”, “Waltz”, “Russian Dance”, and “Elegy.” The last two movements reverse the order of Tchaikovsky’s score, ending the ballet on a note of “sadness.” When asked what Serenade was about, Balanchine claimed that it was merely a “dance in the moonlight.” Even without an explicit story it is one of the most romantic Balanchine ballets, exemplifying his emphasis on women, their sacrifices and loves. At the end of the work, one ballerina is literally carried out on a pedestal (3 men). The ballet is not all just romance. There is great emphasis on the physicality of the dancers, with swirling lines and lovely jumps (jetes). It also is not just about the principal dancers. In Serenade, P A G E 46


Dancing Serenade — By Suzanne Erlon —

A Photo by Angela Sterling

mong the Balanchine ballets, Serenade was always special, whether dancing in the corps de ballet or one of the principal roles. After joining NYC Ballet, I was given the opportunity to perform Serenade. The sheer physicality of the movement was something that I found challenging, but I came to love it and to realize how fortunate we were as dancers to be able to dance such special choreography.

Jahna Frantziskonis, former Ballet Tucson member in Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of Serenade. the corps de ballet plays an integral role in the movements and themes of the piece. It is a work the audience wants to see more than once, because at each viewing you may notice new aspects or nuances of the ballet. Ballet Tucson received permission this year from the Balanchine Trust to perform Serenade, after a review of the company and its dancers. Zippora Karz, former soloist with the New York City Ballet and author of The Sugarless Plum (an account of her fight to perform even with type 1 diabetes) will stage the Ballet. Ballet Tucson is fortunate that its Founding Artistic Director Mary Beth Cabana danced in the ballet with the Cleveland Ballet. Ms. Cabana and Suzanne Erlon, who danced in the ballet with NYC Ballet and Ballet West, will rehearse the ballet. After 80 years, Serenade remains Balanchine’s ode to women and the pinnacle of classical ballet. Ballet Tucson will perform Serenade in their Spring Concert, Dance and Desert, at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre March 18-20.

After joining Ballet West as a principal dancer, I was pleased that Serenade was in their repertoire. I danced leads in the Russian and Waltz sections of the ballet, which fit my quickness and jumping ability. During my 10 years with NYC Ballet and 5 years with Ballet West, I danced in many of Balanchine’s iconic ballets and Serenade was always a favorite of mine. I am pleased that the dancers of Ballet Tucson will have the opportunity to perform in Serenade. It is one of the great balletic experiences for audiences and dancers alike. P A G E 47
