Romeo and Juliet | 2015–2016 season

F ROM T H E A RT I S T IC DI R E CTOR Good Evening and Welcome to Romeo and Juliet. In 1935, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev completed his score for the ballet Romeo and Juliet. It was originally composed for The Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow but indefinitely postponed because of the controversy over the newly formed Soviet Committee on Arts Affairs’ mandate that the ballet have a happy ending. Meanwhile, the orchestral music was already being well received and recorded around the world. By the time the official ballet production premiered in Brno, Czechoslovakia in late 1938 with Shakespeare’s intended tragic ending, the ballet’s success could not be denied. Finally, In 1940 The Bolshoi produced Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet as originally intended with choreography by Leonid Lavrovsky. On December 2nd 1962, John Cranko, Artistic Director of The Stuttgart Ballet, presented a new version of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet and it was met with instant and rapturous acclaim. It is to date still considered by many to be the best. It quickly became a benchmark for all productions created since -- including the widely admired version by Sir Kenneth McMillan created for the Royal Ballet in 1965 and Michael Smuin’s wonderfully theatrical production designed for San Francisco Ballet in 1977 and performed by Ballet West throughout the 1980’s and early 90’s. I first became associated with Cranko’s magnificent production in 1984 when I was a young dancer with The Joffrey Ballet. I found depth and profundity in every level of Cranko’s approach, and the experience left an indelible impression on me – one that has colored my entire vision of ballet and theater ever since. Indeed Cranko’s brand of storytelling has helped to illuminate how I approach my own productions of the classics. So what is it about Cranko’s version that strikes such a deep note? The ballet unfolds moment to moment in a fresh and spontaneous way. Cranko has a masterful understanding of Shakespeare’s play and is able to adapt it into dance with clearly drawn and vivid

F ROM T H E A RT I S T IC DI R E CTOR characters. He has a specific and dynamic musicality, and an astounding choreographic diversity (especially apparent in his pas de deux and ensemble work), that make up his unique style. Cranko wanted dance to be a “representation of life itself” as he put it, so every aspect of life is delved into, creating moments of broad theatricality that have an instant effect on our senses and moments that are so subtle they last in our memory forever. Cranko brings to life every character on the stage. In his work there are no small parts – everyone is a unique and vital part of the whole. John Cranko died in 1973 – tragically and much too young – on a transatlantic flight back from a triumphant run of performances in the United States where he and his Stuttgart Ballet had been named “the Stuttgart Miracle”. But he left a wealth of brilliant choreography and a legacy that has touched all of us in the dance world forever. And much like Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers, his story and art never cease to fascinate. As Always, I am Grateful for your patronage and hope you enjoy as Ballet West joins an exclusive rank, becoming the 5th American company to present John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet. Thank You,

Adam Sklute

Romeo and Juliet | 2015–2016 season

F ROM TH E E X ECU TI V E DIR ECTOR There is no greater example of the timeless feeling of falling in love than William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, written in the 1590’s and based on a fairytale told a century before that. Romeo and Juliet share a love that–at its purest level—is no different than the heartache and joy we all experience early in our life. This particular story has been updated numerous times for stage, film, opera, television, and yes, ballet. And, of any of Shakespeare’s resplendent works, Romeo and Juliet begs to be adapted for ballet. No other art form can convey the universal feelings of the human condition – full of beauty and bitterness—like ballet. No matter the language you speak, what country you come from, Romeo and Juliet, danced by Ballet West will transport your soul. I suspect the timelessness of themes and stories are what keeps many of our patrons returning. Whether it be the current production, or The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, or even Almost Tango, ballet has an immortal soul. Our just announced 2016-17 Season will be no different. Full of drama as well as a bit of frivolity, the year holds something for everyone. From the searing drama of Madame Butterfly to the triumph of good over evil in the enduring The Sleeping Beauty. And in the middle of the season, a very special farewell to our current production of The Nutcracker. Thanks to a generous gift from The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, The Nutcracker will receive a much-deserved facelift with fantastical sets, props, costumes, and special effects, while entirely maintaining the magical and historic choreography of Ballet West’s founder, Willam Christensen, along with Tchaikovsky’s famous score. You won’t want to miss the final season of the current production of The Nutcracker. While the stories we tell are timeless, ballet is ephemeral; it lasts mere moments on stage, but those memories can leap through our minds for a lifetime. It is with gratitude to our patrons and donors for your generosity that allow our art form to be eternal, both on stage and in our hearts. To you devoted fans, the balletomanes, and aficionados, we sincerely thank you. It is only fitting to be writing this before Valentine’s Day, a day celebrated around the world. Young or old, wealthy or poor, Valentine’s Day holds promise that the tide will turn, that our fortunes in love and friendship will swell and blossom. At Ballet West, I can tell you our hearts are full this season, and we thank each and every one of you for your continued devotion. Sincerely,

Scott Altman

LEADERSHIP

Adam Sklute ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, BALLET WEST & BALLET WEST ACADEMY

Since 2007, Adam Sklute has expanded Ballet West’s repertoire, visibility, and overall outlook with exciting Company premieres, increased touring and public exposure, and greater focus on Ballet West Academy and Ballet West II. Under Sklute’s leadership Ballet West has toured extensively, appearing three times at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to sold out audiences; a weeklong engagement at New York City’s Joyce Theater; Chicago’s Auditorium Theater with two separate programs; twice at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival; and twice at the Chicago Dancing Festival. The Company has also appeared at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, The Laguna Dance Festival, Aspen, CO, Dallas, TX, twice in Las Vegas, NV, Minneapolis, MN, and Victoria, BC. In 2009, Ballet West graced the cover of Dance Magazine for the first time in 25 years and again was on the cover in 2013. Under Sklute, the Company has garnered numerous reviews and articles in such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Dance Magazine, Ballet Review, and Pointe to name a few. Ballet West was the subject of the BBC Worldwide Production’s docu-drama television series Breaking Pointe which aired for two seasons on The CW channel. Sklute has introduced Ballet West audiences to such renowned contemporary choreographers as Nicolo Fonte, Jiri Kylián, Mark Morris, and Twyla Tharp, among others, all while expanding the company’s Balanchine repertoire and adding early 20th century Diaghilev-era masterpieces. In addition to reintroducing lost elements of Christensen’s production of The Nutcracker and reconstructing his The Firebird, Sklute conceived and produced his own new versions of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Giselle. Sklute has created wildly successful annual programmatic additions to the Season, including a Family Series and Innovations programs. All in all, in his eight years as Artistic Director, Sklute has introduced over thirty new works and nearly forty world premieres to Ballet West. A native of Berkeley, California, Sklute began dancing at the age of 16. His early training was at the Oakland Ballet and San Francisco Ballet schools. After only two years of formal study Sklute became one of the last two artists personally chosen by Robert Joffrey for The Joffrey Ballet. He danced with The Joffrey from 1985 to 2000 and then rose through the ranks to Associate Director in 2005. He became Artistic Director for Ballet West in 2007. Sklute has served on the boards of Chicago’s Dance for Life, Salt Lake Community College, School of the Arts Advisory Board; and the Salt Lake County Cultural Facilities Master Plan Advisory Board. He currently serves on the Board of the Gerald Arpino/Robert Joffrey Foundation. A finalist judge and international representative for numerous ballet competitions including the Youth America Grand Prix, Los Angeles’ Spotlight Awards, The International Ballet Competition, The Japan Grand Prix, and an adjudicator for the American College Dance Festival Association, Sklute was listed as one of the 25 Movers and Shakers of the Utah Arts Scene in 2007. In 2014 he was named one of Utah’s Enlightened 50 and he received the Utah National Guard’s Bronze Minuteman Award for outstanding service to Utah and the nation.

LEADERSHIP

Scott Altman BALLET WEST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE ELIZABETH SOLOMON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHAIR

Scott Altman joined Ballet West as Executive Director in 2013, bringing with him nearly three decades of experience in nonprofit administration and performing arts. A respected industry leader, Altman has worked most of his career to advance the arts through entrepreneurial growth, fiscal sustainability, and by maximizing organizational achievements. Under Altman’s skilled leadership, Ballet West has experienced phenomenal expansion. With a concentrated focus on Ballet West Academy, the attendance of the school has grown 75 percent. The physical footprint has also increased significantly, with a new satellite location in Lehi, Utah at Thanksgiving Point, which opened in August, 2014. The Company is witnessing a true renaissance, unique for an organization in its 52nd year. In the last two years, under Altman, Ballet West has witnessed a 21 percent growth in ticket sales, vastly expanded touring schedule, robust growth in donor development, and a renewed and energized Board of Directors. In that time, Altman has been a guardian of the fiscal health of the organization, balancing the operational budget while establishing a robust cash reserve. Most recently, he facilitated a watershed campaign, the 12-month long “Million Dollar Challenge,” which completely eliminated $2.2 million in operational debt; the first time the Company had achieved the eradication of operational debt in 33 years. Upon his arrival at Ballet West, Altman helped negotiate financing and oversaw the construction of the Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre, which was completed in December of 2014. This beautiful new 55,000 square foot home for Ballet West, which is LEED-certified, provides space for studios, costume and administrative space, and is a beacon to the arts community in Utah, and beyond. Previous to Ballet West, Altman was the General Director of Phoenix-based Arizona Opera where, under his leadership, the company experienced unprecedented patron and audience development, and achieved financial stability by launching – and completing – an $8.5 million capital campaign. Altman also oversaw the design and construction of a spectacular new Opera Center in central Phoenix, which incorporated administrative, performance, production, education, and community space. Recently, Altman attended Stanford University’s Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders, an elite certificate program for nonprofit administrators. Altman is also the recipient of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Citation of Excellence Awards for 2007, 2008, and 2009. Professional activities include, among many others, serving as Regional and District Adjudicator for the Metropolitan Opera National Council, Altman has embedded himself in the community, and is a member of the Salt Lake Rotary, Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, Utah Nonprofits Association, and is a founder of the Ballet West Ballers, the official softball team of the Company. Prior to his roles in administration, Altman had a successful 20-year career as a professional singer and performed 37 opera roles internationally. Along his path to administration, he was also an adjunct professor of opera at Princeton University. Altman completed his Masters of Music degree at Manhattan School of Music in New York after receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the State University College at Purchase in Purchase, New York. He lives in Salt Lake with his wife and two sons.

CHOREOGRAPHER John Cranko CHOREOGRAPHER, ROMEO AND JULIET

John Cranko was born on August 15, 1927 in Rustenburg, South Africa. He received his dance education mainly at the University of Cape Town, where he also choreographed his first ballet to Stravinsky’s Suite from The Soldier’s Tale. In 1946, he continued his studies at the Sadler’s Wells School in London and shortly afterwards became a member of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet (subsequently The Royal Ballet). In 1947, Cranko made a sensational choreography to Debussy’s Children’s Corner for the Sadler’s Wells Ballet; from 1949 on he devoted himself exclusively to choreography, producing extremely successful ballets - mostly for the Sadler’s Wells Ballet. In 1955, he choreographed La Belle Hélène for the Paris Opera Ballet and in 1957 he created his first full-length ballet, The Prince of the Pagodas, for The Royal Ballet. In 1961, John Cranko was appointed ballet director in Stuttgart by Walter Erich Schaefer, the General Director of the Wuerttemberg State Theatre (today’s Stuttgart State Theater). At the beginning of his time in Stuttgart, Cranko created short ballets and gathered together a group of dancers, among whom were Egon Madsen, Richard Cragun, Birgit Keil and, most importantly, a young Brazilian dancer named Marcia Haydée who was to become his prime muse and inspiration. The breakthrough for Cranko came in December 1962 with the world premiere of Romeo and Juliet, which was highly praised by critics and audience alike. In Stuttgart Cranko created many small choreographic jewels such as Jeu de cartes and Opus I, as well as his symphonic ballet Initials R.B.M.E., but it was with his dramatic story ballets such as Onegin, The Taming of the Shrew, Carmen, Poéme de l’Extase and Traces that Cranko secured his place in the pantheon of great choreographers. In addition, he encouraged young dancers in his company - including Jiri Kylian and John Neumeier - to try their hand at choreography. Cranko’s gift for nuanced story-telling, clear dramatic structure and his exquisite mastery of the art of the pas de deux conquered New York audiences during a triumphant season at the Metropolitan Opera in 1969. World wide acclaim soon followed, as Cranko and his young company toured the globe. John Cranko died unexpectedly at age 45 on June 26, 1973, on a return flight from a successful U.S.A. tour.

While at Stuttgart, she also notated new productions, working with choreographers Sir Kenneth MacMillan, John Neumeier, Glen Tetley, William Forsythe, and Uwe Scholz. Bourne has staged Cranko’s ballets (Onegin, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, The Lady and the Fool, Jeu de Cartes, Brouillards) for companies around the world, including the Royal Swedish Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada, Australian Ballet, Teatro Colon Buenos Aires, Bolshoi Ballet, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro dell’Opera Rome, Teatro Municipale Chile, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Paris Opera Ballet, National Ballet of China and The Royal Ballet.

The Painful Truth Pain is an unbidden guest, humanity’s shadow companion down through the ages. It is a despoiler of dreams and a thief. Chronic pain can appear suddenly in a person’s life, changing it forever. Dr. Lynn R. Webster puts a face on chronic pain through the lives of his patients, and provides an intimate view of what it is like Preprintto live with it. The Painful Truth will open your eyes to the world of those who are stigmatized and marginalized by our society and healthcare system. Yet the new book offers hope and a path forward for those willing to engage in a crusade against the human race’s primal enemy—pain.

“It is not often that you come across a book written by a physician that is filled with more than good advice; it is filled with compassion and understanding for people with pain. From his early childhood, Lynn Webster understood the torment of pain and the importance of just being there and accepting the person in spite of his or her pain. His accounts of his patients are heartfelt, and anyone with pain can relate to the struggles he so perceptively tells.” —Penney Cowan, founder and executive director, American Chronic Pain Association
