Welcome to the first program of 2023. Program 4 - In Rep was named in this way because it represents The Sarasota Ballet‘s repertoire and DNA. In just one performance you will see ballets by choreographers of the future, the present, and the past. Although the company is nationally and internationally recognized for our dedication and passion for bringing historical works to the stage, it is also vitally important that we continue to nurture the art form of today. Having a choreographer as prestigious and sought after as Jessica Lang create a new ballet on the Company is both exciting for our audience and for our dancers. Giving opportunities to dancers like Arcadian Broad to continue to explore his artistry in a new medium allows us to strengthen The Sarasota Ballet, and nurture our company in new and different ways. The works of Sir Frederick Ashton put The Sarasota Ballet on the map in the dance world and provides our company an incredible foundation, through his remarkably varied works, which allows us to have such a vast and wide range of repertoire.

I am so thrilled that we are finally able to bring to Sarasota audiences, Jessica's Shades of Spring, which she created on our company for our August 2022 Joyce Theater tour to New York. Watching Arcadian not only choreograph, but also co-compose Frequency Hurtz has been a pleasure, and I am excited to see how audiences react to this world premiere. Finally, it is always a treasure to see Ashton’s hilarious and witty Façade showcase the acting ability as well as the musicality of our dancers.

Jessica Lang's Shades of Spring Ballet Synopsis

Shades of Spring is a World Premiere by internationally renowned choreographer Jessica Lang. The ballet is a collaborative endeavor, which is often an entry point for Lang’s creative ventures. Fusing striking visual art by Roxane Revon and costume design by Jillian Lewis, Lang’s remarkable vision creates an extraordinary stage environment for her choreography to exist within and become transformed by The Sarasota Ballet’s dancers.

Lang, Revon, and Lewis have found their inspiration from plant roots and the natural world. Plants gain strength from being connected to each other as their roots intertwine into a connectedness that allows them to nourish and support each other. Translating this idea into ballet brings forward a classical system that is rooted in custom, foundational movement vocabulary with reverence to the past and it is necessary to use the roots of this system to nourish the growth of this art form into new territories of expression.

Performed to the Composer Joseph Haydn’s selected piano trios, audiences will be intrigued by the visual experience bringing consideration of how human energy and movement a ffects the plant life we coexist with. One of Lang’s favorite moments in creation is to observe her dancers in their most natural, human state of self in practice. Lewis’ costumes are a combination of their everyday attire while paying homage to iconic classical ballet costuming.

This is Lang’s first creation on The Sarasota Ballet. On her experience with the company, Lang remarks “Working with Iain Webb and The Sarasota Ballet, and having the privilege of discovering and uncovering the beauty of this company with my artistic vision has been truly special. Having the opportunity to delve into this artistic exploration with artists I respect and admire is valuable and together we hope our audiences will be inspired.”

Program 4 | In Rep

Arcadian Broad's Frequency Hurtz Ballet Synopsis

Frequency Hurtz is an exploration of the fact that an individual’s brain perceives audio and visual frequencies differently due to factors like age, genetics, and environment. The experiment inquires: how does this concept translate to an artform like dance, which is largely enjoyed based on the viewer’s opinion?

With a newly composed musical score centered around the Solfeggio frequencies co-written by Jeremy Studinski and Arcadian Broad, the journey begins at the bottom of the audio and visual spectrum. As the piece progresses, we pass through frequencies that are said to stimulate the transformation of guilt to joy, to create a sense of community with your neighbor, to feel love, and even to promote selfhealing and physically repair your DNA. We climb all the way to the highest tone called “Brilliance”, which eventually fades into silence from our ears’ limitations. In theory, every individual will have an entirely unique experience from the person next to them.

Movement 0: Frequency Range 0-398 GHz | The bottom of the audial and visual spectrum, creates intense feelings and uncomfortable energy.

Movement 1: Frequency Range 398-439 GHz | The Transformation tone. Designed to promote positive transformation - fear to confidence, guilt to contentment, sadness to joy.

Movement 2: Frequency Range 440 GHz | The Everyday tone. The frequency that comprises 99% of the music and sound we hear everyday. The most neutral of them all.

Movement 3: Frequency range 528 GHz | The Miracle tone. Said to physically repair your DNA to its fullest form and promotes feelings of love.

Movement 4: Frequency range 530-650 GHz | The Community tone. Said to stimulate the need to connect with your neighbors. Strengthening your bonds with others to create a caring community.

Movement 5: Frequency range 680-750 GHz | The Awakening tone. Used by most Spa and relaxation establishments to promote the awakening of your senses. Clearing the mind and preparing one to accept the unknown future.

Movement 6: Frequency range 800-1000 GHz | The Brilliance tone. The closest you can be to your fullest potential. When we vibrate the fastest. The most intelligent, caring and giving you can be.

Movement 7: Frequency range Full Audible Spectrum | A collection of all the frequencies living in harmony.

In Loving Memory of Scott Poiley, Ford Kiene, Kevin & Kerri Broad

Sir Frederick Ashton's Façade Ballet Synopsis

Façade is that very rarest of English creatures, an enduringly popular success and at the same time a definitively modern work of art. It began in the Chelsea home of the aristocratic and artistic Sitwell siblings, where the young Sir William Walton was lodging. Walton (who had just been humiliatingly turned down by Diaghilev for a Ballets Russes commission, despite the Sitwells’ enthusiastic promotion) composed a scintillating score of pastiche musical numbers to accompany Edith Sitwell’s avant-garde poems, recited through a megaphone from behind a surrealist front curtain.

Its Aeolian Hall premiere in 1923 was greeted with contemptuous derision, reinforced by Noel Coward’s skit “The Swiss Family Whittlebot” in his popular revue London Calling . But in Frederick Ashton’s choice of Walton’s music for a ballet divertissement created for the Camargo Society in 1931, Façade attained genuine popularity and has never looked back.

In that 1931 premiere, Alicia Markova danced the Polka, Lydia Lopokova doubled as the Milkmaid and the Tango dancer, whilst Ashton himself played her Tango partner. Façade’s sophisticated wit caught the mood of the twenties; its instant popularity brought it into the repertoires of Rambert’s Ballet Club, the Vic-Wells Ballet (1935, with Fonteyn’s Polka and Ashton’s Tango leading the cast), and The Royal Ballet.

Ashton made various revisions over the years. A “Country Dance” was added in 1935 (and later dropped). The “Foxtrot” dates from 1940, when John Armstrong created new designs after the original sets and costumes were lost in the Sadler’s Wells Ballet’s dramatic flight from the Nazi invasion of Holland. Following the adoption of Walton’s “Popular Song” as the theme tune for the long-running British TV show “Face the Music,” Façade was performed in 1972 at The Snape Maltings and Sadler’s Wells with Peter Pears reciting the Sitwell poems. But the ballet remains, intact and much-loved. Ashton’s tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Bloomsbury Movement, Walton’s knowing take on the popular songs and dances of the twenties, and a generous dash of genteel camp created a very English marriage of high art and sheer enjoyment.

The Frederick Ashton Foundation exists to enrich the legacy of Sir Frederick Ashton (1904-1988) and his ballets. The Ashton ballets performed this season as some of over one hundred ballets created by Sir Frederick Ashton TM. The Frederick Ashton Foundation, a registered charity working independently of, but in close association with, The Royal ballet, exists to enrich the legacy of Frederick Ashton TM and his Ballets. For further information, please go to www.frederickashton.org.uk.
