You Be the Judge at Dancing Pros: Live! World’s finest dancers and a famous TV dad waltz into Knight Theater this spring

breaks; we’re not taking commercial breaks. We go from one dance to the next, which requires a tremendous amount of stamina and endurance every night.” Hightower is a featured dancer, along with other “So You Think …” alums Ryan DiLello, Denys Drozdyuk and Antonina Skobina. “The energy level is different from night to night,” says Sliwinska. “If you would watch each performance on tape, you wouldn’t see a difference. But when you’re in the room, and someone has an amazing day, the audience feels it.” Don’t miss Dancing Pros: Live! at Knight Theater at Levine Center for the Arts Sunday, April 19, at 2 and 7 p.m.
ith a blend of artistry and athleticism, passion and lyricism, sass and sophistication, 10 of the world’s most remarkable dancers will heat up the stage at Knight Theater at Levine Center for the Arts this April in the highoctane dance competition Dancing Pros: Live! And the audience gets to vote for the best of the best. Hosted by “Growing Pains” star Alan Thicke, Dancing Pros is the brainchild of Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo, two gifted “Dancing With the Stars” alumni. The format of the show is reminiscent of, but quite distinct from, “Dancing With the Stars.” Like the TV show, Dancing Pros features a witty host, a three-judge panel, videos about participants and competitive dancing. However, in the stage show, all the dancers are elite professionals. Each couple is showcased in two very different duets that they co-choreograph, and the judges comment on all the performances, but do not give a numerical score. “The judges are there to guide the audience,” says Sliwinska, who serves as a judge. “We give our opinions, but the audience drives the results.” Performing on a large stage, rather than in the confines of a TV studio, enables the dancers to cover more space. The audience, not limited by the eye of a camera, gets a more immersive experience. “I think that seeing this show live onstage will give audiences a really good look at how rigorous, intense and demanding dance is,” says Chelsie Hightower, from both “Dancing With the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance.” “We’re not taking camera

by serving as an essential second set of ears. During rehearsals, Kalia checks sound balances throughout the hall and painstakingly studies and learns all of the programs’ scores in the event that he is needed to step in to lead the orchestra. Throughout each season, Kalia also conducts a variety of performances, including the Symphony’s Lollipops family concerts and Orchestra On Campus, an annual free concert and Symphony education partnership with Central Piedmont Community College. Kalia’s passion for collaboration is evident in his work with Charlotte Ballet, including more than a dozen performances of Nutcracker each holiday season. He is also a proponent of collaborations with visual artists and the use of technology to modernize the concert experience. He regularly leads the Symphony’s preconcert talks. Not only is Kalia in his third and final season as the music director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra of Los Angeles, but he will guest conduct the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra and serve as guest cover conductor for the Indianapolis Symphony this season. He is also entering his fifth season as music director of the Lake George Music Festival in upstate New York, which he co-founded, and will cover for the St. Louis Symphony this summer.
ebruary is a big month for Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia. Now in his second season with the Charlotte Symphony, Kalia will make his debut on the Symphony’s innovative KnightSounds Series with the Feb. 6 concert, A Waltz to Remember. “The Charlotte Symphony is connecting more and more with younger audiences through the innovative KnightSounds and On Campus concerts, which is extremely exciting,” Kalia says. The concert will feature various Strauss waltzes and polkas, reminiscent of the annual New Year’s Concert with Roger Kalia the Vienna Philharmonic. “I’m so very excited to collaborate with the Metropolitan Ballroom Dancers, plus Katherine Polit, who is an up-and-coming soprano and dear friend,” he says. Next month, the New York native will also conduct his first Pops Series concert, A Symphonic Valentine. Showcasing the local talent of the Noel Freidline Trio during Valentine’s weekend, the concert will highlight romantic favorites of film, Broadway and jazz. That same weekend, Kalia will conduct Beethoven Lives Upstairs, the second Lollipops concert of the season. Covering almost every subscription concert, he has assisted Music Director Christopher Warren-Green and many visiting artists, including Itzhak Perlman,

DIVERSION OF ANGELS Choreography and Costumes by Martha Graham Music by Norman Dello Joio† Original lighting by Jean Rosenthal Adapted by Beverly Emmons Premiere: August 13, 1948, Palmer Auditorium, New London, CT Martha Graham once described Diversion of Angels as three aspects of love: the couple in white represents mature love in perfect balance; red, erotic love; and yellow, adolescent love. The dance follows no story. Its action takes place in the imaginary garden love creates for itself. The ballet was originally called Wilderness Stair. “It is the place of the Rock and the Ladder, the raven, the blessing, the tempter, the rose. It is the wish of the single-hearted, the undivided; play after the spirit’s labor; games, flights, fancies, configurations of the lover’s intention; the believed Possibility, at once strenuous and tender; humors of innocence, garlands, evangels, Joy on the Wilderness Stair, diversion of angels.” – Ben Belitt The Couple in White The Couple in Red The Couple in Yellow

NOTES ON THE REPERTORY DIVERSION OF ANGELS (1948) Diversion of Angels, originally titled Wilderness Stair, premiered at the Palmer Auditorium of Connecticut College on August 13, 1948. The title, as well as a set piece designed by Isamu Noguchi suggestive of desert terrain, was discarded after the first performance, and the dance was reconceived as a plotless ballet. Diversion of Angels is set to a romantic score by Norman Dello Joio and takes its themes from the infinite aspects of love. The Couple in Red embodies romantic love and “the ecstasy of the contraction”; the Couple in White, mature love; and the Couple in Yellow, a flirtatious and adolescent love. Martha Graham recalled that when she first saw the work of the modern artist Wassily Kandinsky, she was astonished by his use of color, a bold slash of red across a blue background. She determined to make a dance that would express this. Diversion of Angels is that dance, and the Girl in Red, dashing across the stage, is the streak of red paint bisecting the Kandinsky canvas. —ELLEN GRAFF STEPS IN THE STREET (1936) “Steps in the Street” premiered at the Guild Theater in New York City on December 20, 1936 as one section of a larger work, Chronicle. The dance was a response to the menace of fascism in Europe. Earlier that year, Graham had refused an invitation to take part in the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany, stating: “I would find it impossible to dance in Germany at the present time. So many artists whom I respect and admire have been persecuted, have
been deprived of the right to work for ridiculous and unsatisfactory reasons, that I should consider it impossible to identify myself, by accepting the invitation, with the regime that has made such things possible. In addition, some of my concert group would not be welcomed in Germany” (a reference to the fact that many members of her group were Jewish). “Steps in the Street”, subtitled “Devastation – Homelessness – Exile”, depicts the isolation and desolation that war leaves in its wake. LAMENTATION VARIATIONS (2007) The Lamentation Variations is an event that was originally conceived to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. It was premiered on that date in 2007. The work opens with a film from the early 1940s of Martha Graham. We see her dancing movements from her then new, and now iconic, solo, Lamentation. The variations were developed under specific creative conditions. Each choreographer was asked to create a spontaneous choreographic sketch of their reaction to the Graham film, and was required to adhere to the following conditions: 10 hours of rehearsal, public domain music or silence, basic costumes and lighting design. Though it was planned to be performed on only one occasion, the audience reception for the Lamentation Variations was such that it has been added to the permanent repertory of the Martha Graham Dance Company. ERRAND INTO THE MAZE (1947) Errand Into the Maze premiered in 1947 at the Ziegfield Theater in New York City. With a score by Gian Carlo Menotti, and set design by Isamu Noguchi, the dance
17D
was choreographed as a duet for Martha Graham and Mark Ryder. It is loosely derived from the myth of Theseus, who journeys into the labyrinth to confront the Minotaur, a creature who is half man and half beast. In Errand Into the Maze, Martha Graham retells the tale from the perspective of Ariadne, who descends into the labyrinth to conquer the Minotaur. Substituting a heroine for the hero of Greek mythology in her dance, Martha Graham created a female protagonist who would confront the beast of fear, not just once, but three times, before finally overpowering him. Noguchi designed a set that consisted of a v-shaped frame, like the crotch of a tree or the pelvic bones of a woman. A long rope curves its
way through the performance space and ends at this symbolic doorway. Influenced by the theories of the great psychologist Carl Jung, Martha Graham was exploring the mythological journey into the self in this dance. —ELLEN GRAFF ECHO (2014) The work is inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus and Echo but does not retell their story. Narcissus and his reflection, Echo and her multiple voices, the impossibility of love and the vanity of beauty — these themes are explored in a complex and vivid dance vocabulary that aims to create an emotional landscape.
ABOUT MARTHA GRAHAM Martha Graham has had a deep and lasting impact on American art and culture. She single-handedly defined contemporary dance as a uniquely American art form, which the nation has in turn shared with the world. Crossing artistic boundaries, she collaborated with and commissioned work from the leading visual artists, musicians, and designers of her day, including sculptor Isamu Noguchi and composers Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, and Gian Carlo Menotti. Graham’s groundbreaking style grew from her experimentation with the elemental movements of contraction and release. By focusing on the basic activities of the human form, she enlivened the body with raw, electric emotion. The sharp, angular, and direct movements of her technique were a dramatic departure from the predominant style of the time. Graham influenced generations of choreographers that included Merce
Cunningham, Paul Taylor, and Twyla Tharp, altering the scope of dance. Classical ballet dancers Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, and Mikhail Baryshnikov sought her out to broaden their artistry. Artists of all genres were eager to study and work with Graham— she taught actors including Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, Madonna, Liza Minelli, Gregory Peck, Tony Randall, Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson, and Joanne Woodward to utilize their bodies as expressive instruments. During her long and illustrious career, Graham created 181 dance compositions. During the Bicentennial she was granted the United States’ highest civilian honor, The Medal of Freedom. In 1998, TIME Magazine named her the “Dancer of the Century.” The first dancer to perform at the White House and to act as a cultural ambassador abroad, she captured the spirit of a nation. “No artist is ahead of his time,” she said. “He is his time. It is just that the others are behind the time.” 17E
ABOUT THE COMPANY The Martha Graham Dance Company has been a leader in the development of contemporary dance since its founding in 1926. Informed by the expansive vision of its pioneering founder, the Company has expanded contemporary dance’s vocabulary with masterpieces such as Appalachian Spring, Lamentation, and Chronicle, rooted in social, political, psychological, and sexual contexts. Always a fertile ground for experimentation, the Martha Graham Dance Company has been an unparalleled resource in nurturing many of the leading choreographers and dancers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Graham’s
groundbreaking technique and unmistakable style have earned the Company acclaim from audiences in more than 50 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Today, the Company continues to foster Graham’s spirit of ingenuity. It embraces a new vision that showcases classics by Graham, her contemporaries and their successors alongside newly commissioned works. The Company is actively working to create new platforms for contemporary dance and multiple points of access for audiences.
BIOGRAPHIES JANET EILBER (Artistic Director) has been the Company’s artistic director since 2005. Her direction has focused on creating new forms of audience access to Martha Graham’s masterworks. These initiatives include designing contextual programming, educational and community partnerships, use of new media, commissions and creative events such as the Lamentation Variations and Prelude and Revolt. Earlier in her career, as a principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, Ms. Eilber worked closely with Martha Graham. She danced many of Graham’s greatest roles, had roles created for her by Graham, and was directed by Graham in most of the major roles of the repertory. She soloed at the White House, was partnered by Rudolf Nureyev, starred in three segments of Dance in America, and has since taught, lectured, and directed Graham ballets internationally. Apart from her work with Graham, Ms. Eilber has performed in films, on television, and
on Broadway directed by such greats as Agnes deMille and Bob Fosse and has received four Lester Horton Awards for her reconstruction and performance of seminal American modern dance. She has served as Director of Arts Education for the Dana Foundation, guiding the Foundation’s support for Teaching Artist training and contributing regularly to its arts education publications. Ms. Eilber is a Trustee Emeritus of the Interlochen Center for the Arts. She is married to screenwriter/director John Warren, with whom she has two daughters, Madeline and Eva. DENISE VALE (Senior Artistic Associate) joined the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1985, attaining the rank of principal dancer. Roles performed include the Pioneering Woman in Appalachian Spring, Woman in White in Diversion of Angels, Chorus Leader in Night Journey, Chorus in Cave of the Heart, the Attendant in Hérodiade, Leader 17F
BIOGRAPHIES in the 1980s reconstruction of “Steps in the Street,” and Night Chant, a ballet created for Ms. Vale by Martha Graham in 1989. Graham solos performed include Lamentation, Frontier, Satyric Festival Song, and Serenata Morisca.
